对话文本

I: hey, Maris, are you a part-timer?
M: part-timer? Is that a new buzzword?
I: oh, it’s pretty popular among my classmates these days. So are you?
M: sure, I have a part-time job as a bartender.
I: cool! It must be amazing to work at a bar!
M: yeah, but I’m not there for fun. I have to remain professional and if I get distracted, the manager would be pretty upset.
I: that’s true. I’m wondering did you learn anything from the job?
M: of course. There’s always much to learn. I got to know more about the real world.
I: you mean you got working experience, right?
M: not just working experience. I would say the biggest lesson I learned is how to deal with people from all walks of life.
I: it must be very demanding.
M: sometimes it is. But after working for a few weeks, it’s easy to figure out.
I: really? It sounds interesting.
M: maybe you can come to the bar one day and I’ll show you around.
I: great. I’m looking forward to.
