F: Simon, how does it feel to be retired?
M: Well, not so bad.
F: How have you been spending your time?
M: I 61 (spend) more time with my family. I've also traveled a bit, you know, 62 season when everywhere is less crowded and hotels cost less.
F: Great.
M: You know I haven't stopped work completely.
F: Yes, could you tell us more about this?
M: I'm on a scheme 63 is called phased retirement; I had a six-month break from work, after which I 64 (apply) for project work with the company I used to work for.
F: How does the scheme work?
M: Well, it's a trial at the moment. Instead of hiring temporary stuff, the company advertises posts on its website 65 retired employees like myself can access.
F: What sort of work is advertised?
M: Well, all sorts of things, really. Administrative work and more 66 (specialize) work, 67 sort of thing I can do. Some of the projects can last five or six months, and others can just be a couple of days. I can decide more or less when to work. So I can manage my own time.
F: I can see it's good for you. What is your company getting out of this?
M: Well, I still have all my old contacts at work, 68 I know who to contact to get 69 done. The company gets flexibility, too. 70 the job's over, that's it. I'm not on their books any more.
