Mrs. Jenkins, two months ago your cookbooks came out on the market. Can you tell us a little about that?

Sarah:

Well, I put a lot of money into these cookbooks, but they aren’t very successful.

Fritz:

That’s terrible. How did this happen to a successful businesswoman like you?

Sarah:

Well, obviously, the frst thing a good cookbook must have is delicious recipes!

But that’s not enough. There are lots of good cookbooks out there. A successful cookbook needs to be different from other cookbooks in some way. I was too busy telling people what to do instead of just writing a successful cookbook. Fritz:

I see. So, what are your plans for the future?

Sarah:

I have a new invention: it’s a house-cleaning robot.

Fritz:

That sounds interesting. Do you think this time you will succeed?

Sarah:

I think anything that helps people and gives them more free time will be a success.

Fritz:

Well, that’s very interesting. Thank you, Mrs. Jenkins.

It’s good exercise and a lot of fun”,says Professor Sanders. “But why do millions of people pay so much money to watch other people play?” Sports is good business. A winning team can make millions of dollars. A good athlete or player can make a very large salary. For example, at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships,

Unit 6 Interesting People

Interview Sandra: Welcome to “Meet the People”. I’m Sandra Waters. My guest today is Larry Patel. Larry is an inventor. His newest invention is the “whistling wallet”. Good evening, Larry. Larry: Good evening, Sandra. Sandra: Larry, what is a “whistling wallet”? Larry: Well, it’s a special wallet with a small battery inside. If you sing near it, the wallet whistles. People often lose their wallets in their homes. Now they can easily find them. Sandra: Do you need to sing a special song? Larry: No. Any song is OK. Sandra: Oh, great! It’s easier to sing than to look all over the house. Where can I buy the wallet? Larry: Well, I still have to work on it. I gave wallets to some of my friends. Now two of them are angry with me. They went to a rock concert, and their wallets made a noise all the time. The people around them were very angry.

Do It! I always remember my mother saying, “Wake up. Clean your room. Don’t eat candy. Hurry up. Do your homework. Be good. Don’t run. Sit down. Stand up. Do this. Do that.” I always thought, “Hmm, I like that job.”

Five years ago, I started the Clean-House Agency. I put an ad in the newspaper. I answered all the telephone calls and letters, and started my business. I told all the new workers, “Be quick, and be clean.” I showed them how to clean homes and offices. First, we all worked together. Now, they usually work alone. Last night I showed my daughter how to make a cake. “First, take four eggs from the refrigerator and some sugar from the cupboard. Then, open the box...” Suddenly I had a wonderful idea: cookbooks! I’m starting a new business! With my cookbooks, I can tell hundreds of people what to do!

The Family Picnic It was a Sunday morning and I was very excited. My big sister was coming home for a visit.

My mother decided to have a family reunion. So she invited our relatives to a picnic in the park. I helped my father get the food ready. I even helped him make his famous potato salad. Just as my aunts, uncles, and cousins began to arrive, my sister phoned. “My car broke down,” she told my mother, sadly. “I can’t come to the picnic.”
