 　　ENGLISH MARATHON

　　Host: Jeffery 
　　to get one's foot in the door I remember when I got my first intern1 job at a movie studio.
　　I worked forty hour weeks doing odd jobs like answering the phone or picking up lunch and dry cleaning, and I hardly got paid! But I did get my foot in the door of the industry and look where I am now.
　　My goal is to become a full-time2 teacher at the University but there aren't any openings at the moment.
　　So, I've decided3 to register there as a replacement4 teacher.
　　At least that way I'll get my foot in the door, and maybe down the road I'll be the first in line if there is an opening.
