Thanks for speaking at a reasonable speed to sound natural but to be understood by students with a basic B1 level.

NANNY WANTED IN THE SCOTTISH BORDERS

If you had the opportunity, would you apply for this job? Weigh the pros and cons

On the one hand, it would be interesting to apply for this job because if I got it, I would work for a very friendly family.
Moreover, I would live in a beautiful old house and I would have my own bedroom with a kitchen and a bathroom.
Furthermore, the family would lend me a car.
Last but not least, I would get a very good salary so I would be able to save some money.

Yet, on the other hand, there would be some drawbacks too.
For example, I would have to live in the middle of nowhere, therefore I would probably feel lonely.
Besides, I would have a lot of responsibility.
As a consquence, I would certainly be stressed and a little scared too.
Last but not least, if I were stressed, I wouldn’t sleep very well so I would imagine all sorts of supernatural things and I would quit the job like the previous nannies!
As a conclusion, I think that if I had the opportunity, I wouldn’t apply for this job although it offers a lot of advantages.
