why are you so upset today, Maria? Cheer up!
oh, Iris, it's about the job with the PR company.
it's a great opportunity. You should be happy with the offer.
but my mother won't allow me to accept any part-time job. I'm afraid she will say no again.
why? It's unfair. You can learn a lot from it.
she says a part-time job is cursed blessing. It takes so much time and energy that I won't be able to focus on my studys.
that may be true. But I'm sure you're able to find a balance between them. Why not try it?
I turned down quite a few offers before for her sake. But I'm a senior now, I don't want to miss the chance this time.
I agree with you but I think you really need to talk to your mother and tell her what's on your mind.
I'll try, but what if she insists?
just let her know that the experience will be both amazing and rewarding. And more importantly, you can manage both your study and the job.
do you think it will work?
sure. Every cloud has its silver lining. Just try.
ok, I'll do that. Thank you, Iris.
