F: Hey James, how's the job search going? ,M: Hi, Sharon. I had no idea. It would take so much time. It sure makes it difficult to prepare for final exams. How about you? ,F: I was lucky. There seems to be a shortage of high school teachers now. I applied to 3 schools and each one offered me a position. ,M: That's great. Which one did you like? ,F: I haven't decided yet. Of course, it would be easiest for me to stay here in New York or go back home to Boston but I may go to California. ,M: That would be a big move. ,F: So tell me about your plans. ,M: Well, I applied to 6 newspapers. Last week I had an interview with New York Times. ,F: How did it go? ,M: Not so well. I think they're looking for people with some experience. ,F: Have you had any other interviews? ,M: No, not yet. It seems that everyone wants to be a writer these days. There just aren't that many jobs out there. ,F: That's too bad. ,M: Yes, I had hoped to have a job lined up by graduation. That doesn't seem likely now. ,F: What will you do if you can't find a job? ,M: In that case, I'll begin working on a master's degree in the fall.
(A) F: Well. Writing a book is a good choice if you can't find a job. (B) F: Well. Working on a bachelor's degree is a good choice if you can't find a job. (C) F: Well. Starting a newspaper is a good choice if you can't find a job. (D) F: Just a minute! I do not quite follow what you are saying, would you mind repeating that?
