Statement 1
I am a sophomore in NYU. My schedule is not so tight this semester. Tuesday and Friday are all day free. So, I work as a lifeguard in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.
Statement 2
As an ICU physician, I have to deal with high intensive situations in every shift, which makes me too exhausted to take other jobs. Furthermore, the salary offered by the hospital is quite comfortable.
Statement 3
I am a full-time uniformed firefighter working for New York City Fire Department. My fire department requires four shifts of firefighters and company officers and each shift is 24 hours.
Statement 4
As a limo driver, my time is quite flexible. I also have certificates as chef and baker. For the tuition of my two children in the Ivy, my Monday is a driver day and Tuesday night is a chef night.
Statement 5
There are strict rules for a professional model. I have signed a two-year contract with my company. An elaborate training plan has designed for me and that barely gives me chance for part-time jobs.
听力原文

My salary is not so high as my expectation.

昨天格拉夫先生在班上说美国银行可能会在10月提供一些季节性职位。
这是个获得培训的好机会,顺便还可以赚些钱。
但我听说只有那些有相关工作经验的人才有机会。
只剩一个月了,我还没有任何工作经验呢!我真的想在毕业之前获得一些培训。
彼得:梅,美国银行并不是唯一的机会。
在感恩节和圣诞节期间会有很多季节性工作。
你也许找不到和管理完全相关的工作,但是,一旦你找到第一份工作,就更加容易找到第二份。
