　　--------------------------------------------------------------------------------SCENE I

　　Father and Mother are at home. Gwen just gets home.?

　　Gwen: I’m home, Mom, Dad.

　　Mom: How’s your day, Gwen?

　　Gwen: Not bad. I’m tired of taking buses to school every day.

　　Father: Why?

　　Gwen: The bus is so crowded every morning.

　　Mom: I don’t understand. What’s your point?

　　Gwen: I want to buy a motorcycle - a Harley.

　　Father: What!! Harley! Are you insane?

　　Mom: (to father) Calm down. (to Gwen) I understand your situation. I would agree if you want to buy a?

　　normal motorcycle, but Harley! Forget it.?

　　Gwen: But I want it so much. I’ve always wanted one.

　　Father: OK. I can contribute some for the motorcycle, but you have to pay the rest yourself.

　　Mom: I agree with your dad.?

　　Gwen: Oh! Yes! Are you sure? But I don’t have any money to pay for it!

　　Father: You can use your New Years’ Red Envelope money or find a part-time job.

　　Gwen: Hey, it sounds like a great idea to get a part-time job.

　　Mom: You have to keep your eyes open when you look for a part-time job.

　　Gwen: Don’t worry. I’ll be careful.

　　Father: I can give you some advice and experience. When I was a teenager, I used to work as a porter. It was?

　　very tough, but I learned how to be responsible and how to use time. So will you. (change of tone) I?

　　remember I almost lost my life one day.?

　　Gwen: Thanks, Dad. I think I can handle it. I’ll be careful.?

　　SCENE II

　　Gwen: Ivy, I want to find a part-time job. Are you interested in getting one for yourself, too?

　　Ivy: It sounds great! I can search on the Internet for job opportunities.

　　Gwen: Then I can look at the ads in the newspaper.

　　(After 2 to 3 minutes)

　　Gwen: Look! Here’s something interesting. It looks good.

　　Ivy: Let me see... let’s make a phone call to see what the job is about.

　　(Phone rings. Gwen and Ivy are calling the “I Need You” Company.)Boss: This is “I Need You” company! May I help you?

　　Ivy: I need a part-time job, and I saw your ads in the newspaper, so …Boss: I see! Could you come to our company this Wednesday afternoon?

　　Ivy: What?

　　Boss: Oh! We’d like to interview you personally.

　　Ivy: Is it alright if my friend comes along?

　　Boss: No problem. You and your friend can come together.

　　Ivy: Thank you. Bye.

　　Boss: You’re welcome. See you! (hangs up.)Gwen: What did he say?

　　Ivy: He said we can have interviews this Wednesday afternoon.

　　Gwen: Great! Let’s do it. We can meet there.

　　Ivy: I’m a little bit nervous.

　　Gwen: It’ll be fine. Don’t worry.

　　SCENE III

　　(Wednesday afternoon, Gwen and Ivy are at the “I Need You” Company. They enter the company.)Boss: Hi, nice to meet you! Have a seat! Take it easy. O.K.! First, do you have any work experience?

　　Gwen: No.

　　Ivy: Me, either.

　　Boss: That’s O.K. You’re just what our company needs. You can learn on the job. Second, do you have any?

　　talents? Like dancing or singing?

　　Ivy: Well….

　　Gwen: I love singing. My friend says I sing well.

　　Boss: Very good!

　　Ivy: May I ask what this job is about? What do you want us to do?

　　Boss: It’s easy. You just need to sing and chat with customers. They might give you some extra tips if they like you.

　　Gwen: Oh! It sounds great! I can get a lot of money! I’ll take this job! What do you think, Ivy?

　　Ivy: Umm... but I’m not good at singing or dancing.

　　Boss: It’s O.K.! Fanny…

　　Fanny: Yes.

　　Boss: She can teach you how to do this job well. It’s not hard.

　　Gwen: How about the salary?

　　Boss: Ha, ha! As to the salary, I won’t disappoint you. I promise you’ll be a rich girl in a few days. (shows a?

　　cunning smile)

　　Ivy: I don’t think I can do it. It sounds fishy to me. I think we should ask more about what exactly we have to do.

　　Gwen: Come on! Take it easy. It’s a good opportunity. We’ll make a lot of money. Just think about the money!

　　Ivy: No, I’m sorry. I guess the job is not for me.?

　　Gwen: All right! Suit yourself.

　　Ivy: Good luck. Bye. (exits)

　　Fanny: Hi. Hmm…(looks at Gwen from head to toes) I think I’ll change the way you look, O.K.? (She starts to?

　　change Gwen’s hair style and her clothes and shoes; she also puts make-up on Gwen)SCENE IV

　　(Gwen’s first day of work at a bar)

　　Customer A: Wow, Fanny! Look at that girl! What a cute girl!

　　Customer B: I’ve never seen her before. Who is she?

　　Fanny: This is Gwen. It’s her first day here.

　　Gwen: Hi. (She appears shy and uneasy.)

　　Customer A: Come sit beside me.

　　Customer B: Dance with me. (They both drag Gwen’ arms.)Gwen: Umm… What’s this all about? What’s going on? (Gwen starts to cry and turns to run away.)Fanny: Wait, wait! Stop it! Come back! Hey, what are you doing??

　　Gwen: That man touched my butt.

　　Fanny: So what? It’s no big deal. Take it easy. No matter what they do to you, you should always show respect?

　　to them and obey?

　　them.

　　Gwen: (Sobs) Oh! The job is so different from what I have thought. I can’t do it! I can’t stand it! I want to quit!

　　SCENE V

　　At Gwen’s home

　　Gwen: I can’t believe this. Darn! How stupid I was. It‘s disgusting. (Gwen’s still crying.)Mom: What’s wrong with you, honey?

　　Gwen: It’s terrible. I don’t know how to tell you.

　　Father: What’s the problem? Tell us.?

　　Gwen: I got a part-time job the other day. And today was my first day of work. I thought they just want me to be a?

　　performer, singing some songs and dancing for other people. But the customers there harassed me. They were?

　　evil. They touched me and it made me feel awful. I couldn’t do it, so I ran away.

　　Mom: What? Why did you choose this kind of jobs? Are you blind? Are you that stupid?

　　Father: Calm down, both of you! You have to remember this experience. You should be careful when you choose a job.?

　　Didn’t I tell you that?

　　Mom: If you have troubles finding a job, we’ll help you look for one from the Internet or newspapers.

　　Father: It’s O.K. now. Stop it.

　　Gwen: Thank you so much, Mom and Dad. I love you.

　　Mom: We love you, too, honey. J
