Amy: "Arthur, how are you doing with your decision on your job and career change?"

Arthur: "You know, I could wear so many hats, it's hard to decide which one is really right for us as a family. I'm also toying with the idea of writing a novel."

Amy: "A lot of people are taken with that idea, but it would be good to have some other form of income while you're writing, because it could take a long time to finish the book, market it and start receiving income from it."

Arthur: "You're right, Amy. I'll continue to research the possibilities."

• Business English (Tuesdays at 17:00, Thursdays at 9:30)
  Get involved in this imaginary company, where we will encounter and solve many business decisions, problems and situations.
• Intermediate Grammar (Thursdays at 11:00 and 17:00)
