María: How's the new job?
Roberto: I'm slowly getting used to it. The hours are very different - I'm not used to waking up at 5 AM. I used to start work at 9.
M: That must be hard. Are you getting used to the commute [kə'mju:t] (trayecto)?
R: Not yet. I can't get used to driving for an hour every morning. I used to walk to my old office in ten minutes.
M: Have you made any friends at work?
R: Yes, I've been making an effort to talk to everyone. My colleagues [kɑli:gz] (compañeros) are very nice. But I still have to do a lot of things on my own because I'm new.
M: Are you used to the workload ['wɜrkloʊd] (carga de trabajo)?
R: I'm getting used to it. They do things very differently from my old company. I used to do everything on paper, but here they make us use an app for everything. I'm not used to working with so much technology.
M: You'll get used to it. I had the same experience when I changed jobs. After a few months, everything felt normal.
R: I hope so. I should do my best to adapt quickly.
Puede parecer buena idea machacar un tema hasta dominarlo, pero alternar diferentes temas en una misma sesión de estudio funciona mejor. La variedad obliga al cerebro a esforzarse más, y eso favorece el aprendizaje.
