Conversation

Marta: Did you hear about Pedro?

Luis: No, what happened?

M: He got a new job! He had been looking for one for six months. By the time the company called him, he had already done twenty interviews.

L: That's a lot. Had he quit [kwɪt] (dejar) his old job?

M: No, he hadn't quit yet. He resigned after he had received the offer. His boss was surprised because Pedro had never said anything about wanting to leave.

L: What happened to his old position [pə'zɪʃən] (puesto)?

M: They hired someone new. She had worked at a similar ['sɪmɪlər] (similar) company before.

L: I'm happy for Pedro. He had worked at his old company for ten years. He deserved [dɪ'zɜrvd] (se merecía) a change.
