sarah will be one of my interviewers oh my god that's unbelievable you gotta ask sarah for an autograph for me dora jess i'm being stressed out right now stop kidding okay fine then so tell me what you are afraid of the most you mean my fears yeah tell me things that scare you hmm i don't think that i like that animal very much you're terrified by spiders yes i'm also afraid of the dark and being stuck in a rut being stuck in a rut huh you meant you're afraid of doing something over and over again right yeah that's right repetition is probably what i'm scared of the most you see going to the interview is not one of your fears at all your fears are spiders the dark and being stuck in a rut i know when it comes to important occasions in our lives we are surrounded by fears however in the worst case scenario which can happen to you during the interview you can still find another open door you're so right i won't lose anything if i fail in that job interview i'm living in new york opportunities are unlimited for people who are passionate and talented that is so true thank you so much jess i'm feeling like there's a weight off of my shoulders now you have relieved yourself of a burden haven't you i will try my best at the interview tomorrow morning i believe that you can do it thank you girl oh actually jess you can help me with one more thing what's that i'll be happy to help you let's go into my room i could use some help with an outfit that i should wear into the interview tomorrow okay chop chop show me what you got dora oh i'm wondering what i should wear the first outfit is a basic one with a white shirt and a navy blue skirt the second set includes a white shirt black trousers and a black jacket so what do you think jess i think the first outfit is a bit boring but the second one is chunky with that jacket the weather now is not that cold to wear jackets hmm you're right to impress an interviewer like sarah huffersmith you should wear something simple but still elegant don't forget to show the energetic side of your characteristics too so what should i wear jess my choice is for the second outfit but you've got to lose that jacket a simple white shirt and black trousers are enough are you sure one hundred percent just be yourself and you will nail it ah jess you're the best now let's sleep tight sweetie save your energy for your big day let's go to bed good night jess sweet dreams [Music] welcome to the official interview of the new york headlines i'm samson journalist of the nyh and i'm sarah i am a head editor of the nyh we're in charge

nyh but can i ask one more question yes please do where do you see yourself in the next five years right now in the matter of five years from now my expectation is that i can be a professional reporter because i just love reporting so much i think it's one of the ways to spread kindness and bring up-to-date news and information to everyone therefore i'll try my very best to observe to learn and to share what i know to people i appreciate your passion for this career i can't help myself but agree with you samson dora i just think that you really have the potential to be a successful

shooting fish in a barrel means doing something easily in boston we have a lot of docks and harbors we eat fish almost every single day so we have that expression that is very interesting to know dora oh on an unrelated note jess how's mike doing i haven't seen him here for nearly a week now he's on a business trip in texas did you know that in texas people eat fried butter they do fried butter doesn't sound any good mike told me so he hasn't got the gut to try it yet but i bet he will since he's flying back to new york tomorrow and i know mike he's such a taster people said you will never know if you don't try it right indeed [Music] episode 4 what have i waited for it has been almost a week from dora's interview day at new york headlines office dora is very desperate to know the result but she can't do anything but wait she decided to go sightseeing the city in the morning and on the way home she bumped into a chinese restaurant oh is that just his favorite chinese restaurant

wow that's impressive what musical instrument do you play i play guitar and a little bit of drums how about you jake what do you do in your free time i know how to play the drums too besides that i do fancy sports of all kinds interesting what is your favorite sport oh tough question i do spend a lot of time at the swimming center but that's probably not the one my choice might go to horse riding horse riding i've never done that it must be so cool yeah the horse is a very friendly animal do you know how to befriend a horse i don't how you need to look right into his or her eyes with no hesitation just sincere that's the way right into the horse's eyes with sincerity like what i'm doing right now oh you're doing it so right but please don't look at me with those eyes why you're being funny right not so funny if you can hypnotize the horse with your eyes stop joking jake okay i mean your eyes are very beautiful and horses can really be hypnotized by sparkly objects ah thank you so much episode 10 dora takes care of jess what a wonderful saturday eggs and bacon the simple but perfect duo good morning dora rise and shine my friend why are you up so soon oh god jess you're not feeling very well are you i guess look at you let me check your temperature let's sit down right here my friend is the medical kit still in the living room jess yes i'm fine dora just a bit tired you are not fine at all [Music] let me see we have a first aid kit pills cotton wool bandages tablets ointment cough syrup oh we can use cough syrup and yeah finally i found the thermometer no i hate that syrup it tastes like children's puke jess you have to drink it or else your situation will get worse now let me check the body temperature for you place the thermometer tip under your tongue jess all right how long should i hold this it's been so long since i was sick usually 30 to 40 seconds my friends let's hold that thermometer for one minute just to be sure time's up just let me see oh no your temperature is 39 degrees celsius 102.2 degrees fahrenheit this is not normal at all oh no why me why today today is saturday we're supposed to have fun my poor jess you're definitely having a fever with some coughs don't worry about it i'll be here taking care of you and we can still have fun thank you dora no biggie let's lie on the sofa i'll cook you some porridge with my secret recipe which will help you get well soon sounds suspicious dora are you sure you don't want to buy me some ready to eat porridge trust me i won't let you down here comes the porridge just a spoon and you will be as strong as an ox immediately what was happening in the kitchen did you fight with aliens to make me this porridge hey stop it jess at least i tried my best and believe me this is the most difficult recipe i have cooked my entire life all right i'll eat it at all costs but what ingredients did you use dora i call this dish pumpkin porridge with the minced lamb sounds top-notch and nutritious right hold on pumpkin why is it so green i accidentally put the wrong ingredient in it that's the color of wasabi but it won't affect the flavor believe me they said wasabi is very good for our immune system [Music] omg may god bless me and keep me safe oh no i'm sorry for that pumpkin porridge with minced lamb it was really burning the roof of my mouth nothing but spiciness sorry [Music] it's fine dora i know you really made an attempt for that thank you a failed attempt don't worry about it at least we are having delicious things to eat now you're right on an unrelated note tell me about your date on valentine's day his name is jake isn't it oh well it was fine just fine is it because he's too boring no he's pretty interesting indeed we have quite a lot of things in common such as the love for music swimming our jobs and so on wow what a guy first we went to see zombie three and then after that we had dinner at sushi planet oh jake loves wasabi he almost ate everything with that spicy dipping sauce oh no a wasabi guy again what's wrong i never trust those guys they're always too selfish overconfident they think they're on top of the world the best they do this sounds like news to me jake is the only wasabi person that i have met jake might be that selfish and overconfident guy did he say something about his fancy car luxurious perfume or how much money he has in his bank account the last time i checked he didn't say anything like that so what did he tell you about [Music] tell me something that you think is your special thing jake wow no one asked me about that all right you will be the first one besides my family to know about this as far as i recall that was a very hot summer that could melt any ice creams so that my cousins and i decided to go to the swimming pool near my house i was seven years old at that time barely knew how to swim so i always chose the kiddie pool until that day i swam in the adult pool instead and that was when the disaster happened i couldn't breathe and i thought this is the end for you jake you have lived a wonderful life of a seven-year-old when i was slipping away there was a hand grabbing at me but i couldn't see anything waking up i saw myself lying in my bed at home no one really knows who saved me unbelievable that must be the lifeguard at the pool no we came to thank the lifeguards but unluckily they said they weren't there at the time my cousin drake didn't see anyone around me when i was fainting in the pool drake called my parents to come to take us home from the pool that's strange yeah i know so strange right but that's what makes me special i have been given a second life by someone therefore i always feel thankful for everything that's what he told me wow this guy loves wasabi and he sounds like a nice guy too he's a very supportive co-worker too oh i almost forgot let's finish your cough syrup no [Music]
