Whow, that's a big building!
Well that's my dad's office.
He works as an engineer.
He makes chips for computers.
What does your father do?
Oh, ehh, weil, as I told you, my dad's a cleaner.
He cleans offices like your dad's office.
Yes, uhm, of course.
I thought that in England cleaning offices would be a job for women.
Well, here's the entrance.
Come in.
Wow, you're sure people won't mind?
Oh no, my father is the boss, well, almost.
Here, let's take the elevator.
How high is th is building?
There are forty-five floors.
Wow, that's higher than any building I've ever been into.
My father works on the top-floor.
The elevator has to go very fast.
It goes faster than a normal elevator.
A normal elevator would take twenty minutes to reach the top-floor.
Well, now I see th at everything is higher, faster and bigger in America.

Here we are.
Come on, follow me.
Whow! This hall is even bigger than our living-room.
Wait till you see my father's office.
He has a desk the size of an elephant.
Here it is. Come in.
Hello you two, wh at are you doing here?
Sorry, sir. Excuse us. Wrong door.
That wasn't your father?
No, I don't understand.
That office used to be empty... eeh... I mean... my dad's room.
Look, a cleaner.
That's what my father does for a living in England.
Hello, Richard. Who is your friend?
Hi uh... dad. This is John, my penfriend, remember? He's just arrived.
I'm showing him where you work.
Hello John. Nice to meet you.
Good afternoon, sir.
So you're Richard's dad? You're a cleaner?!
Yes, anything wrong with that?
Oh no, my dad's an engineer as well...
