CD 1 Track 13 Bridget: When I was young, I was very good at music. I still play the piano and the violin quite well, but that isn’t my job. At work, I have to wear a white coat and protective glasses made of plastic. There are a lot of little bottles and a microscope in the room. I like studying very small things. Matt: I get up very early every day to go to work. I can’t wear clean clothes because I get very dirty. It’s difficult when it’s hot in summer or cold in winter, but I like my job! I’m not a doctor or an inventor, but building houses is important. Phillip: Some people are afraid of me, but I try to make them relax when they come to see me. I talk to them about their work or their children while I find out what’s wrong. I like seeing my patients smile when they get well, but I don’t like giving them medicine immediately. Kate: My job is really interesting, but also hard. When something important happens, I get a phone call and run to see what is going on. I talk to a lot of people and ask them questions. I record what they say on my phone or on camera. I love learning new things. Jay: I’m quite famous in the USA. People invite me to big parties where I meet important people like politicians and film stars. They always ask me to play something on the guitar and sing them a song. I don’t mind that, but I hate it when journalists ask me personal questions. Answers: 1 d 2 c 3 a 4 f 5 e CD1
