Four years ago, Joel Kline gave up his job as a magazine editor to become a freelance copywriter for advertisements, but now he had money trouble. He says that he wishes he’d never_______to set up his own business.
“I am now in such a bad situatiom”says Joel, “I hope I am_______working as an editor.
You see, I was___________with my job, and I used to get really angry at my boss and the way he used to_______me around all the time. I talked to a few friends and they said that they could give me_______,so I told my boss I was leaving. At first, everything was_______:I had so much work that I had to take on an assistant(助理),my best friend at work, Don, just to be_______to finish things on time. And soon we_________large amounts of money. Don and I had a really great lifestyle, and when the work was finished, we used to take good_______in places like Cancun and the Bahamas,just to get relaxed.
At first,we were busy having fun, and charged(支付)everything to my credit cards instead, but then I began to__________how much in debt(负债)I was. At last, I had to__________Don off. I then had to sell all my office equipment(设备).Now I could do almost nothing even if people ________me. Things got so bad that I even asked my old boss if I could do some work for the ________, but he said that I’d been so________to him when I left that he would never employ(雇佣)me again. I’ve had to____________my business now and I don’t know what I’m going to do for money. It just goes to show, if you set up your own business, you shouldn’t spend money you don’t have.”
