Thanks for dropping in. I've asked you all to meet here today to come up with ideas about how to raise money for our annual charity event. We'll have about a month this summer to earn as much as we can. Any thoughts? Teresa: How about doing odd jobs around the neighborhood? Akira: What's that? I've never heard of it. Jenna: Oh, I guess it's not common here in Japan. It can be anything, you know, doing stuff around the house like cutting the grass, washing the windows, or cleaning out the garage. When I was a high school student back in the US, I made 300 dollars one summer by doing yard work around the neighborhood. And sometimes people will ask you to run around town for them to pick up the dry cleaning or do the grocery shopping. It's pretty typical way for young people to earn some extra money. Akira: So, Jenna, you're saying that [ 30 ]? {1} cleaning up the yard is quite valuable work {2} dividing housework among the family is best {3} doing random jobs is a way to make money {4} gardening will sure be profitable in the US Jenna: Yeah, I think that it could work in Japan, too. Rudy: Here, many students do part-time jobs for local businesses. They might work at a restaurant or convenience store. Odd jobs are different. You're more like a kind of helper. It's casual style of working. You get paid directly by the people you help, not a company. And you can decide which jobs you want to do. Maya: But isn't it dangerous? Usually, people are unwilling to enter a house of someone they don't know. And what happens if you don't get paid? How can you get the money you earned? Rudy: Not all jobs are inside the house. You can choose the kind of work that you're comfortable with. In my experience, I never got cheated. Basically, we work for people our own community, so we sort of know them. Often, they are older people who have lived in the neighborhood a long time. And I always got paid in cash, so I was excited to have money to spend. Teresa: There are a lot of seniors in our community. I'm sure they'd be happy to have someone do the heavy lifting, or even just to see a friendly face around. I really doubt that they would take advantage of us. In general, don't you think most people are honest and kind? Akira: It sounds like we shouldn't be too worried because [ 31 ]. {1} elderly people would feel uneasy about our work {2} it's embarrassing to ask our neighbors for work {3} there's little risk in working within our community {4} we can be safe if we work for a company in town Dan: Is it OK to get paid for volunteer work? Shouldn't we work for elderly people out of the goodness of our hearts? I think helping people is its own reward. Kana: If we explain our purpose clearly from the beginning, to raise money for the charity, I think people will be glad to help us. And it's not like we're charging 5,000 yen per hour. Why don't we suggest 500 yen per hour? It's a lot more reasonable than asking some company to do the job. Maya: Don't you have to pay any taxes? What happens if the government finds out? Jenna: I don't think we're breaking any laws. That's the way it works in the US, anyway. Just to be on the safe side, though, let's ask someone at the city tax office. Akira: OK, thanks for all of your great ideas. I think we made a lot of progress. According to the suggestions made today, it looks like our next step is to [ 32 ]. Right? {1} consider being totally honest with each other {2} look for part-time jobs that have high wages {3} provide useful services for free to neighbors {4} think of a plan that works for our local area Jenna: Sounds good. ※マーク部分の□や下線部は[ ]で、マル１は{1}で表記しています。
