Hopes and Ambitions

Ella Well I’d like to be a vet. I've got three pets - two rabbits and a kitten called Princess. I love looking after them, so I think I'll be a good vet. I asked my mum if I could have a puppy, but she said no. When I'm a vet, I want to have two dogs and a horse as well,

Joe I can already play the piano, but now I'm learning to play the electric guitar. I love it! I'd love to be in a rock band. I want to play lead guitar - and write all the songs. I'm thinking of asking my friends if they want to start a band.

Juliet It's an important year for me at school this year. I'm doing nine subjects. I'm going to study hard and get really good grades in all my exams, so I can go to university. But I'm still going to have fun. I'm seeing my boyfriend tonight!

Hannah I'd like to go back to work next year. I worked in a bank before I had children, but I don't want to do that any more. I hope to go back to college and train to be a primary school teacher. I've worked part-time at Ella and Joe's school for a few years now, and I really enjoy it.

David I've been in the same job for 20 years. I'm an accountant for a big company, and I visit all the company offices regularly. I'm thinking of changing my job, because I'm tired of travelling all the time. Actually, I'd like to start my own business.

Edie Last year I joined a travel club for people my age. It's marvellous! I really enjoy meeting new people and seeing new places. I'm looking forward to going on a world cruise with my friend, Margaret. I met her on the last cruise. We're going to the Caribbean. I can't wait!
