Men’s talk

Cor: How long do you still have vacation?

Father: Still two more weeks.

Cor: Are you satisfied with your new job?

Father: Oh yes, very satisfied.

Cor: Are you getting a lot more money then?

Father: No, not very much at all, but the work is much more interesting.

Cor: Is it a lot different from your previous job?

Father: Yes. I have to travel a lot now and I find that very nice.

Cor: Are you also coming to America one time?

Father: I think so; perhaps as soon as within a few months.

Cor: And are Gerda and the children also coming then?

Father: Gerda is, but the children probably not – they have to go to school. I might stay a month. I have to go in fact to New York, Colorado and California.

Cor: That is nice. What are you actually coming to do?

Father: You know of course that the Netherlands export a lot of industrial products, also to America. I have to do business with our agents in your new fatherland.

Cor: What things are exported to America?

Father: You mean by the Netherlands or by our company?

Cor: I actually mean by your company but I would also like to know all that is exported by my old fatherland - or is it motherland?

Father: We export only fruit and vegetables and dairy products, but the Netherlands naturally also exports a lot of industrial products. I am the representative for dairy products such as butter, cheese and eggs.

Cor: What kind of industrial products does the Netherlands export?

Father: Have you already been to Eindhoven?

Cor: In the past, but why are you asking that?

Father: You perhaps know that one of the biggest factories in the world is there which makes electrical appliances.

Cor: I knew that a large factory was there but not that it was one of the biggest in the world.

Father: Yes, that’s so.

Cor: Can you also visit that factory?

Father: Probably, but I know they have a permanent exhibition which is visited daily by hundreds of people. The building is like a very big flying saucer and it is called ‘Evoluon’; I have already been there a few times.

Cor: I would also like to see that.

Father: We can go tomorrow, if you want. Then we can see the very latest communication and domestic electronic appliances which are made in the world.
