Amy: Good morning, Talia.

Talia: Oh, hi. Good morning.

Amy: You know, you’re working too hard.

Talia: I know. I always work this hard. Maybe you could mention that to Tony? I don’t think he knows it.

Amy: Wait… Is that a new hairstyle? It`s very…unique.

Talia: Very funny. I had to work late last night. I’m tired, I’m in a bad mood, and I don’t care about my hair.

Amy: That’s probably why you’re not a reporter yet.

Talia: You think so?

Amy: No, I`m just kidding!

Talia: You may be right.

Amy: Maybe Tony will take you more seriously after you finish the TV journalism class.

Talia: Oh, no! My class! I forgot it’s tomorrow. What’s the homework?

Amy: Compare the same news story from two different sources.

Talia: Oh, that’s easy enough to do. Sounds interesting, too. I guess I’ll do it after work.

Amy: You work too hard.

Amy: I have an idea. Why don’t you take a break tonight? Yeah, why not come with me to a party?

Talia: No thanks. Maybe some other time.

Amy: Come on! Josh Taylor, the content guy from News Buzz, is having a party. A lot of interesting people will be there. You might meet someone.

Talia: Mmm, thanks for the invite, but I’m too busy to go. All this work plus the homework assignment…

[knock at the door]

Tony: Good, you’re both here. I have something important to talk to you about. What are you working on?

Talia: I`m fact checking the transportation story.

Amy: She`s always working, Tony.

Tony: Listen, I have a big project for you to work on. I know you’ve been hoping for a break. This may be it.

Talia: Really? That’s great!

Tony: Come to my office in about 10 minutes. By the way, you, you look different. Have you done something with your hair?
