A: Can you help me write a newspaper ad?
B: Sure, what are you looking to buy or sell?
A: Actually, I want to hire someone to help me around the house.
B: Oh, you want to get a maid?
A: Well, I think it's better if you call her a cleaning lady or domestic help.
B: OK, so what do you want her to do?
A: Well, let's see. I want her to come in three times a week for a couple of hours to clean the kitchen, bathroom and maybe do some cooking.
B: Got it. And how much do you offer per month?
A: I would pay her hourly, I don't know what the going rate is though.
B: I know for sure it's more than minimum wage but maybe you should just negotiate with the person that answers the ad.
A: Great! Thanks for your help!
