Natasha:I need to get a job, or I won't be able to stay here next semester. I don't know what to do.

Eric:   7   

Natasha:What do you mean?

Eric:I mean in the library, or in some information center. Often the university has part-time positions for foreign students.

Natasha: Yes, I know. I tried that.   8   

Eric:Well,it's really hard since you're a foreign student. It's actually illegal for you to work in America.

Natasha:    9    I know I have the right to work for the university. That's legal. But they don't have a job. And it's illegal for me to work elsewhere.

Eric:    10    You know there are many people working illegally in New York.

Natasha:But I need a pretty decent job. I need to make enough to pay my rent at least.
