I:Tell us about yourself.

P:OK, My names Paul Fletcher and Im 23 years old. Im an actor.

I:An actor, wow!

P:Yes, but at the moment Im working in an office in the city.

I:Sorry, I dont understand.

P:Well, its difficult to get work as an actor. I was unemployed before and it was horrible. So now I have a temporary job. I work for a big computer company.

I:When did you start work there?

P:Ive worked there for six months.

I:Do you like your job?

P:No, I dont. Its well-paid but its very boring.

I:And what about your job as an actor?

P:Well its badly-paid but really interesting. The problem is that there are too many actors and not a lot of jobs!
