妮可在希腊完成她的学业后在美国那里找到了一份工作。
观光英语
S: Sam N: Nicole
Nicole found a job back in the US after finishing her studies in Greece.
N: Hi, Sam. Here are the keys to my room.
S: Oh, do you need help moving out?
N: No, it’s OK. I’ve already packed everything.
S: Oh. OK. What time are you heading out? Maybe I could cook something for you before you leave.
N: That’s really nice of you, but I’m leaving soon. So I think I’ll have to grab something at the airport. I’m definitely going to miss the food here.
S: If you ever find yourself back in Europe, you can always make a stop in Greece.
N: Yes. I surely will. There’s no way I can pass up an opportunity to return. I’ve really adapted to the lifestyle here. I don’t know how I’ll readjust to my country.
S: You will get used to things again after a while.
N: Yeah, maybe. If not, that just means I’ll have to move back here and find another job.
S: You would be most welcome to! You could even live here until you find a place of your own.
N: That sounds almost too good to be true. I’ll see how it is being home first. I’m definitely going to come visit again anyway.
S: Please do!
N: Looks like my taxi is here. It’s time for me to go. Thank you for always being so generous to me, Sam. I’ll miss you.
S: Of course, Nicole. I’ll miss you, too. Have a safe flight home.
