PART 1

Lesson 1 It's not bad,but I think it needs more work.

Chris: I'm Chris Bloom,hoping you have more of everything you want this spring.
Chris: Thanks for looking at my work,Jake.
Jake: I'm glad to help,Chris.People helped me when I was just an assistant.Besides,you're an

old friend.

Chris: Before you say anything,remember you're watching my first interview.
Jake: That's OK.Most new reporters don't do very well on their first try.
Chris: What do you mean? Could you be more specific?
Jake: Most television viewers don't have much patience.They want faster interviews.They

want more action - more questions - more answers - more pictures.

Chris: Do you think my interview is boring?
Jake: I don't think all of it is boring.
Chris: You just think half of it is boring.
Jake: I think some of it is boring.But I also think some of it is great,really interesting.
Chris: Which part do you think is interesting?
Jake: What are you doing?
Chris: I'm eating my lunch.
Jake: It's only 10 o'clock in the morning.Most people eat breakfast now.
Chris: Well,I won't eat all of it now.
Cheris: Do you want a piece of cake?
Jake: No,thanks.
Chris: You can have half of my sandwich.I'll eat more lunch later at lunch time.
Jake: Thanks,really.I don't want any of it.It's too early in the morning for me to eat.And it's

definitely too early for a salami sandwich.

Chris: Sorry.I eat when I'm nervous.Please,Jake.I need your help on this.
Jake: Don't be nervous.I'm trying to help you.You should have seen my first tape.It was

terrible.It was so bad,they couldn't even use it.

Chris: Not even part of it?
Jake: No.All of it was terrible.
Chris: Look,I know that you're busy and you probably don't have time for me,but...
Jake: I have to admit,I'm pretty busy.The new owner wants me to get better ratings.I'd like to

have more time for so many things.

Chris: Please go over my tape with me one more time and tell me how I can make it better?
Jake: Sure,but first you have to do one thing.
Chris: Anything.
Jake: Get rid of that sandwich.I can't stand it when people eat in the editing room.
Chris: It's gone.
Jake: Explain once more what you were trying to do.
Chris: My assignment for school was to interview people about their lives.So I thought it

would be interesting to ask people what's missing in their lives.What would make their
lives better.And I just asked anyone who walked by.Should I play it now?

Jake: Sure.
