Nicky: We’ll go to Jack’s party tonight. Do you want to join us?
Kevin: I’d love to, but I have work later.
Nicky: I see. I heard you got a part-time job as a private tutor. How is it?
Kevin: Actually, it’s challenging and fun at the same time. Before, I thought having a part-time job was just a way to earn money. Now, I can say that having a part-time job can also be fulfilling
