Conversation 8.
Tom : Hi, Nicola! This is your first morning in the restaurant, isn’t it?
How’s it going?
Nicola : It’s disaster. I’ve already done something wrong!
Tom : What’s the matter? What have you done?
Nicola : Look, I’m so clumsy! I’ve just spite coffee on the sleeve of my blouse.
Tom : Have you seen Morris yet?
Nicola : No, I haven’t. He’s the deputy manager, isn’t he?
Tom : Yes. He’s quite fussy. You’d better go and change.
Whoops! Too late! Here he is now!
Morris : Morning, everybody! Hello, you’re Nicola, aren’t you?
Nicola : Yes, that’s right.
Morris : Have you worked in a restaurant before?
Nicola : No, I’m afraid I haven’t.
Morris : Well, we all work very hard, don’t we, Tom?
Just a minute, Nicola. That isn’t a stain on your blouse, is it?
Nicola : Yes, I’m sorry. It’s only coffee.
Morris : Well, please go and change. I like my staff to look smart.
