No estoy trabajando ahora y no encuentro trabajo por ning\u00fan sitio.<br \/>\nPedro: Lo siento Silvia. Pero no te preocupes. Seguro que vas a encontrar trabajo pronto. \u00bfVas a menudo a la oficina de empleo?<br \/>\nSilvia: S\u00ed, a veces. Pero es un desastre. Muy desorganizada. Seguro que no voy a encontrar trabajo all\u00ed.<br \/>\nPedro: \u00bfBuscas en los peri\u00f3dicos?<br \/>\nSilvia: No, nunca. Igual tengo que echar un vistazo en los peri\u00f3dicos locales.<br \/>\nPedro: S\u00ed, creo que hay posibilidades de encontrar algo all\u00ed. Tambi\u00e9n, te gusta mucho nadar, \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 no preguntas en la piscina a ver si puedes trabajar all\u00ed como socorrista?<br \/>\nSilvia: S\u00ed, siempre estoy en la piscina. \u00a1Buena idea Pedro!

Odio las pel\u00edculas de zombies. No me gustan las pel\u00edculas de terror.<br \/>\nAlejandro: Las pel\u00edculas de zombies no son de terror, son comedias.<br \/>\nJulieta: No son para m\u00ed. Me ponen nerviosa y no puedo ver sangre. Adem\u00e1s me parece que est\u00e1n mal hechas y son cutres. Lo siento.<br \/>\nAlejandro: A m\u00ed me encantan las pel\u00edculas de zombies. Veo una todas las semanas. Normalmente veo pel\u00edculas cl\u00e1sicas como \u2018La noche de los muertos vivientes\u2019. Mis amigos y yo vamos siempre al cine los jueves para \u2018La noche de terror\u2019.<br \/>\nJulieta: Nunca veo pel\u00edculas as\u00ed. A m\u00ed me gustan las pel\u00edculas rom\u00e1nticas y tambi\u00e9n los musicales.<br \/>\nAlejandro: Esas pel\u00edculas son muy empalagosas para m\u00ed. Me aburren.<br \/>\nJulieta: Mis amigas y yo vamos a menudo al cine para ver pel\u00edculas rom\u00e1nticas. A veces vemos pel\u00edculas de fantas\u00eda y de suspense tambi\u00e9n. Con mi novio veo comedias en la tele y documentales.<br \/>\nAlejandro: \u00bfTu novio ve pel\u00edculas rom\u00e1nticas?<br \/>\nJulieta: A veces s\u00ed.<br \/>\nAlejandro: \u00bfDe verdad? \u00bfC\u00f3mo se llama tu novio?<br \/>\nJulieta: David Rubio Ortega.<br \/>\nAlejandro: \u00a1\u00a1Ja ja ja!! \u00a1David!

Do you often go to the job centre?<br \/>\nSilvia: Yes, sometimes. But it\u2019s a nightmare. Very disorganized. I\u2019m certain I will not find a job there.<br \/>\nPedro: Are you looking in the newspapers?<br \/>\nSilvia: No, never. Maybe I have to take a look in the local newspapers.<br \/>\nPedro: Yes, I think there are chances of finding something there. Also, you like to swim a lot, why not ask at the pool to see if you can work there as a lifeguard?<br \/>\nSilvia: Yes, I\u2019m always at the pool. Good idea Pedro! Next time I will speak to them.<br \/>\nPedro: Good luck Silvia.<br \/>\nSilvia: Thanks Pedro.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>English Text 2<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Alejandro: Hello Julieta. Are you here to watch the zombie movie?<br \/>\nJulieta: What are you on about! I hate zombie movies. I don\u2019t like horror movies.<br \/>\nAlejandro: Zombie movies are not horror, they are comedies.<br \/>\nJulieta: They are not for me. They make me nervous and I can\u2019t see blood. I also think they are poorly made and tacky. Sorry.<br \/>\nAlejandro: I love zombie movies. I see one every week. I usually watch classic movies like \u2018The Night of the Living Dead\u2019. My friends and I always go to the cinema on Thursdays for \u2018Horror Night.<br \/>\nJulieta: I never watch movies like that. I like romantic movies and also musicals.<br \/>\nAlejandro: Those films are too sickly sweet for me. They bore me.<br \/>\nJulieta: My friends and I often go to the cinema to watch romantic movies. Sometimes we watch fantasy and suspense movies too. With my boyfriend I watch comedies on TV and documentaries.<br \/>\nAlejandro: Your boyfriend watches romantic movies?<br \/>\nJulieta: Sometimes, yes.<br \/>\nAlejandro: Really? What\u2019s your boyfriend\u2019s name?<br \/>\nJulieta: David Rubio Ortega.<br \/>\nAlejandro: Ha ha ha!! David! What a wimp.<br \/>\nJulieta: He\u2019s not a wimp! And you Alejandro, what\u2019s your girlfriend\u2019s name?<br \/>\nAlejandro: I don\u2019t have a girlfriend.
