Kevin: How is she getting on? Does she like it?

Julia: Yes, she thinks it's great.

Kevin: Are you working at the moment? When I last spoke to you, you were working in a travel agency.

Julia: That's right. Unfortunately, the firm went out of business a  couple of months after I started work there, so I lost my job.

Kevin: And haven't you had a job since then?

Julia: Not a permanent job. I have had a few temporary jobs.    By the way, have you seen Joe recently?

Kevin: Joe? He's in Canada.

Julia: Really? How long has he been in Canada?

Kevin: About a year now. I had seen him a few days before he went. He had been unemployed for months, so he decided to try his luck somewhere else. He was really looking forward to going.

Julia: So, what is he doing there?

Kevin: I've no idea. I haven't heard from him since he left. Anyway, I must go and catch my train. It was really nice to see you again.

Julia: You too. Bye. Have a good journey.

Kevin: Thanks. Bye.
