Editor: It's good to meet you, Isabel. But why are you late? Can you explain?

E: Thank you. So tell me, why do you want this job? Are you a climber?

E: When did you start writing for the magazine?

E: Good, yes. And you need to be reliable. You said you'd send us some of your articles. But you haven't done that yet.

E: Do you read our magazine?

E: What do you think of it?

E: His name's Don Matthews, actually.

E: I've read your articles online, and they're good. So, tell me, what qualities do you need to be a good journalist, in your opinion?

E: OK, well. Let's forget that and begin with basic facts. From your accent, you sound Bristish.

E: What's your background?

I: No, I'm Irish, actually. My parents moved to the US four years ago.

I: Oh, yes, I'm sorry. I forgot. But here they are.

Isabel: Yes, my train was canceled. I'm so sorry.

I: I love it; it has great articles, great pictures. I think Don Watson, your chief writer, is terrific. I read his articles very carefully.

I: My family now live in Washington, DC. I'm in my last year at the university. I write for the university sport magazine.

I: Oh, yes, sorry, Don Matthews!

I: Yes! Of course I do.

I: In my freshman year.

I: Yes, I am, actually. I love climbing. That's why I've applied for a job with Climb Magazine. I love all sports actually. And I'm a good writer.

I: Um...well, you do a lot of interviews, so you need to be good with people. You always need to be careful with your facts and check them.
