careers, and decide if the sentences are True
(A) or False (B). If there is not enough
information to choose True or False, circle
Doesn’t say (C).
1 Very few of Sally’s friends have decided what
they want to do with their lives.
A True
B False
C Doesn’t say
2 Sally’s parents both earn quite a lot of money.
A True
B False
C Doesn’t say
Have you thought about what you want to do in
your future career yet? It’s hard, especially if
you’re still at school and you don’t really feel like
you’re into anything you’ve studied there to do it
for the rest of your life! A number of my friends feel
like that, although quite a lot of others have got
very clear ideas about where they’re going. One
wants to be a teacher, for example, and another
wants to become a doctor.
However, I think some people have decided what
they want to do because of their parents’ careers.
As for my parents, my father is an engineer in the
car industry, and my mother runs her own food
business, supplying food for parties. Dad works
really long hours, and they’re both usually really
tired by the time they get home, so those jobs
have never seemed very attractive to me.
Recently, though, I’ve started doing more art at
school. I did well in my last art exam, and my
teacher said some really encouraging things about
my work. That has made me wonder whether I
could study it at university and then earn money
as an artist. But, just like my parents’ jobs, I know
that wouldn’t be easy, either – there might be
problems finding work sometimes. And at least if
you work for a company, you get paid every
month. But I’d rather do something I really enjoy
than earn a lot of money.
Anyway, my whole class went off on work
experience a month ago, so I spent two weeks
helping out in an artists’ studio. It was great! I did
things like mixing paint, preparing paper and even
answering the phone when people rang asking
about buying an artwork. The artists working there
were doing different things. One was a painter,
and another worked with metal, making amazing
life-sized shapes of horses and tigers. They’re
displayed in parks and town centers – and our
school is even going to have one soon, so when it
arrives it’ll be absolutely amazing to think that I
helped to make it!
