Louis: Hey, Mel
Louis: Didn't see you in French class last Monday, is something the matter?
Melissa: Hi Lou, I'm fine
Melissa: But I don't think I'll be able to continue...
Melissa: Our family situation has changed quite a lot and I need to get an evening job and that's impossible with the course :(
Louis: Oh no, are you fine? What happened?
Melissa: Dad lost his job and he's in his late 50s already
Melissa: It's difficult to find a new job when you're his age... and mum has been sick for a while now, she's unfit for work
Melissa: So I've got to try and find something so we can pay our bills
Louis: Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that :(
Louis: Can I help you in any way?
Melissa: I don't know, Lou...
Louis: I could ask my parents if there's any vacancies at their companies...?
Melissa: Well... I'll be looking online anyway but that could be nice, thanks...
Louis: I mean they may have something for your dad, too
Melissa: Mm... yeah, that would be a great help
Melissa: Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Melissa is quitting her French course. Her father is unemployed and she has to look for an evening job. Louis will ask his parents for vacancies at their companies.
