A:   Well, I think he should be a doctor or something like that É Do you agree?

B:   Hmm É A doctor? Really É? Why?

A:   Because heÕs good at maths É and he wants to do something practical.

B:   IÕm not sure É because he doesnÕt like working for a big company. He wants to work for himself. You know É doctors often have to work in huge hospitals É thatÕs similar to working in a big company.

A:   ThatÕs true É

B:   And, he wants to do something practical and useful, but he doesnÕt say anything about people. Being a doctor is about people really.

A:   OK É well, what do you think?

B:   Perhaps he should be a plumber because heÕs good with his hands.

A:   Mm É yes, I agree É And he likes solving problems so heÕll be a good plumber É sorting out problems in peopleÕs houses É

B:   Yes. And he can work for himself É and do something really useful. I think itÕs the perfect job for Jem.

A:   A plumber is a big change from being an accountant, isnÕt it?

B:   Yes É thatÕs what he wanted É something completely different.
