  2. What does he do on a normal weekday evening?
  3. How often does Nina go to the shop, and why?
  4. What does Omar not do, and what does he want to change this year?
Show transcript

Nina:So, Omar — I ask everybody the same three questions. Where do you work?

Omar:At the bike shop in the centre, next to the market.

Nina:Do you drive there?

Omar:No, I don't. I cycle. It takes about fifteen minutes. When it rains I take the bus, but I don't like it.

Nina:What time do you start?

Omar:At nine, and I finish at six. Then I cook something quick — nothing special. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I play football.

Nina:Do you work at the weekend?

Omar:On Saturdays, yes. Never on Sundays. And I don't check my work phone after seven — that's my rule.

Nina:How often do you see your family?

Omar:Every Sunday, at my mother's house. She cooks, we argue about football, I go home happy.

Nina:And what do you want to change this year?

Omar:Two things. I want to open the shop earlier, at eight, and I want to study English in the mornings. Why do you ask me all this?

Nina:Because I come to your shop nearly every Saturday and I know nothing about you.

Omar:That's true. And honestly? You don't need a new bike every week.
