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]?

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] 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]?

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.
