Job Plans

Save to My Favourites

What do you want to do when you leave college, Rolf? I haven’t decided yet, Maria. I might go travelling for six months and then look for a job. How about you?

I hope to start work straight away. Do you know where? Well, I’d prefer to live near my family, but I want to see the world too, so I’d hope to have plenty of trips for work. You could get a job with an airline company.

Mmm, that’d be great, but it’s hard to get into. I know lots of people apply for that kind of work, but you’re good at languages. I’m sure they’d accept you. I hope so.

Have you really not decided what job you’d like? It’s difficult. My degree’s in music, but I definitely don’t want to be a music teacher. I’ll probably look for something completely different.

Oh, that’s a shame. Why not become a music teacher? You’d get long holidays. But if I got a job in business, I could earn far more money.

Lots of people say money doesn’t matter, and you should just find a job you enjoy. But I think a job has to pay well, so you can live comfortably. Mmm, that’s exactly how I see it. Do you think you’ll have lots of different jobs before you find a really good one?

I expect so. No one finds the perfect job immediately. I’d like to find a job I really like and stay with the same company for at least ten years. Oh, I see.

Well, that’s interesting. Your father has his own business, doesn’t he? Yes, but I don’t want to work for him. But he could help you set up your own business.

I couldn’t imagine doing that. I know how many hours my father has to work. You’re three times important to you, isn’t it? It certainly is.

Right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You have one more minute.

Thank you. That is the end of the test.
