3.7
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.
