Mai jos este redat textul care stă la baza exercițiului:

So Andrew had to leave Blaenely in a month. He  began immediately to look for another position. He  read all the advertisements in the newspapers and sent  many applications to doctors who wanted an assistant,  but by the end of the second  week, he had received no  answer to his applications.

Andrew really began to  worry.  Three weeks passed and  he almost lost hope to find a  job. In the evening of the 30th  of August he met Denny in  the street.

“I’m rather sorry you are going, Manson,” he said.  “I want to tell you something. I heard this afternoon  that the Aberalaw Medical Society is looking for a new assistant. It is thirty miles from here. Why don’t you  try?”

“Well, yes,” Andrew agreed slowly. “I may try.”

A few minutes later he walked home to write one  more application. On the sixth of September  Andrew came to Aberalaw. The  Aberalaw Medical Society was to  select a new doctor out of seven  candidates that had sent in their  applications for this position.  The selected doctor would have  to work at a coal mine. All seven  candidates had been asked to  come.  Andrew was the third to enter the room of the  Committee. About thirty miners filled the room. At  a small table in the middle of the room he saw Owen,  the  secretary, and Llewelyn, the head doctor. Owen, in  a quiet voice, explained the conditions of work there.  Then the miners asked Andrew many questions about  his work and himself, and then he left the room and  the next candidate went in and then the next.  It was over at last. All the candidates were waiting.  The door opened and Owen invited Manson again.
