A Dialogue
Secretary: My job is good. I go to work every morning in a new building. I have a clean and quiet office.
Taxi Driver: I drive all over the city. I see different things all the time.
Secretary: My manager is very kind and intelligent. He tells funny jokes, too.
Taxi Driver: I meet different kinds of people, some rich, some not so rich, some local, some foreign, some quiet, some talkative.
Secretary: I have a new computer and an Internet connection.
Taxi Driver: When I don’t have a passenger to talk to, I listen to the radio. I like to listen to English channels.
Secretary: We speak English at my office. I like English, too.
Taxi Driver: English is a useful language for me. In my job, I pick up many tourists – سائح - , and people who come for Haj. They don’t know Arabic, but they know English.
Secretary: My children are learning English in school. In the world today, everybody needs to speak his own language, and also English, the international language.
Taxi Driver: You can make more money if you improve your English.
Secretary: But I already have a good salary.
Taxi Driver: Then where is your car? Why are you taking a taxi?
Secretary: I am going to buy a car next week, insha Allah. Do you think my English is bad?
Taxi Driver: You can improve your pronunciation. I can understand you because I am an Arab like you. But the foreign people will not be able to understand you.
Secretary: I don’t want to work with foreign - أجنبيّ – people.
Taxi Driver: In a multinational company, you must work with foreign people. Maybe from England, Australia, America, maybe from Europe, Japan. They all speak English, no?
Secretary: I am happy with a government job. I don’t need to go to a multinational.
Taxi Driver: But in a government job, they don’t give you a villa. A multinational company will give you a villa and a better salary. Improve your pronunciation and you will be happy.
Secretary: I am already happy. I don’t need more money.
Taxi Driver: Everybody wants more money. Money is power. With power, you can do your projects.
Secretary: I don’t have projects. I am a simple secretary, and I like my simple life. More money means more problems!
Taxi Driver: Okay, my brother, here is your office building. Please give me 20 riyaals.
Secretary: Thank you, brother. Here is the money. Have a nice day.
