March 17 Part-time job
Today I started my new part-time job as a trendspotter. I was nervous and I didn’t know what to expect. Well, guess what! It was a lot of fun! I’m telling all my friends, “You should think about becoming a trendspotter, too!”
This morning, we had to report to a recording studio by 10 a.m. The “Trends Coordinator,” Mandy, explained the schedule. (1)
. That was really cool!
Next we sat around a big table in a room. (2)
. Mandy gave each person three cards. One card said “Yes—All the way!” Another said, “It’s OK.” The third one said, “No way!”We listened to about 10 different songs. After each song, we had to hold up a card. They played some hip-hop, rock, heavy metal, and dance music. The heavy metal was “No way” for me!
March 24 Gifted
Do you know the rock group called “Gifted”? They’re really popular right now. (3)
. Too bad we missed them. Anyway, they have a new CD coming out on June soon. We saw six different CD covers. (I guess they are trying to choose one.) This time, we didn’t have any cards. Instead, we just talked about the covers we liked. Mandy asked us questions: “Which ones do you like?” “Why do you like them?” “Would you buy a CD with this cover?”
We finished at 12:30. We meet again next week at a boutique downtown. We will look at some new fashions. Each week we go to a different location. Oh, and we also received a music gift card for our work. This “job” doesn’t pay. But we get free stuff!
That’s all for now.
