ENGLISH MARATHON
Host: Jeffery
to get one's foot in the door I remember when I got my first intern 1 job at a movie studio.
I worked forty hour weeks doing odd jobs like answering the phone or picking up lunch and dry cleaning, and I hardly got paid! But I did get my foot in the door of the industry and look where I am now.
My goal is to become a full-time 2 teacher at the University but there aren't any openings at the moment.
So, I've decided 3 to register there as a replacement 4 teacher.
At least that way I'll get my foot in the door, and maybe down the road I'll be the first in line if there is an opening.
