Elizabeth: Hi Nigel. How’s your course?
Nigel: OK, I think. It’s harder than I expected but I’ve got some friends who are doing the same course. I’m glad because we help each other study. But there’s no spare time left for my other friends! My best friends are doing other courses.
Elizabeth: Jenny does Business too, doesn’t she?
Nigel: Yes. we’re working on a project together. But it’s only us and Pete at the moment. We need another person in our group.
Elizabeth: What do you have to do in the project?
Nigel: We have to start a company and make money!
Elizabeth: Doing what?
Nigel: We still haven’t decided. I’m interested in selling something, maybe through the student shop.
Elizabeth: What sort of thing?
Nigel: Maybe something students use, like pens, notebooks, bags. Jenny’s talking about food or drink, but I’m not interested.
Elizabeth: Maybe you should think about it for a few days. You might have clearer ideas then. Selling things to students is hard – they don’t have much money, so it must be something that they really want!
