Thank Mr. Williams for inviting me back. I'd love to share with you my life experiences after graduation. Well, I graduated from here in 2001. When I was thrown into the job market, finding a job was not difficult. Most of my classmates found good jobs in big cities. If I were born a decade later, things might have been totally different. I finally accepted a job with my current employer, and now work as a ________. I won't say my job is not demanding. Sometimes I'm kept very busy working late into the night. And I also have to travel to other cities to attend some ________ several times a year. But I must admit, I'm happy with what I'm doing, which is related to what I learned at university. That's why I haven't changed jobs for the last decade and a half. In recent years, I have been thinking about trying other things, such as running a coffee shop or a bookstore. But I haven't really set out to do that because any decision I make might create ________ for my family. I got married five years after I left college. For me, family comes first. Today, you college students are facing a totally different time from what we were presented with ten years ago. Obviously, there are difficulties, but chances exist, and you'll have hope of leading a successful life.

M: Shall we sit here?

W: Sure!

M: Why didn't you have anything on your ________?

W: Well, I am not even a bit hungry.

M: Is there anything wrong? Do you feel well?

W: I've been really worried. It's my computer. It's in the shop again.

M: Really? What's wrong this time?

W: I don't know exactly. There seems to be something wrong with the system. It restarts several times within an hour. And I can't save what I have typed.

M: That's too bad.

W: Yeah. I need to ________ a sales report next Monday, and it's already Wednesday today. Besides, I was only halfway through my report, and everything is in the computer.

M: I see. Perhaps you should ask them to get it fixed in just one or two days, then at least you still have the weekend to work on the report.

W: Yes, I guess you're right. Thanks.
