I go in here, Jonas. I don't know why I'm nervous, I've been here so often before.
I don't want to be late on my first day. If we finish at the same time, I'll ride home with you.
Its, uh, I'm the new- I mean-
*Buzz*Come in
Oh please, call me Jonas.
Welcome, Receiver of Memory.
You may go right in.
He doesn't like to be kept waiting.

Jonas and Fiona walking into their jobs for the first time.They parted ways and Jonas walked to the back of the building into the Annexe.

The Annexe was an ordinary building attached to the back of the house of the old. He went to open the door but noticed there was a buzzer, so he buzzed it instead. He was let in immediately.
Beginning today, this moment, at least to me, you are the Receiver.
Sir, sorry for my lack of understanding but.. I think that you are the receiver of memory.
Lets start. go to the bed, and lie face down. Close your eyes and relax this will to be painful.
This job has aged me, I'm not actually as old as I look.

What are you going to do, sir?

Jonas hurried into the room and found himself in a nicely furnished area. The furniture was the same throughout the community. A bed for sleeping, a desk for studying and a table for eating. He noticed a man sitting in a chair besides the table watching him.
Jonas sits with the giver and they talk for a bit. The giver then realises that Jonas doesn't know anything about snow so he thought that was a good way of starting Jonas' training.
I'm going to transmit the memory of snow.
The Giver transmits a memory of snowboarding down a snowy hill. Jonas is filled with joy as he slids down the steep snow covered hill.
