Page 20 - Exercise 3

We aren’t having lessons this morning, are we?

No, we aren’t. The Careers Adviser’s coming to talk to us about what we want to do when we leave school.

I already know what I want to do. I want to make a lot of money.

And how will you do that?

I’ll probably start an Internet company. I imagine I’ll make my first million pounds before I’m twenty-five.

And what will you do with all that money?

I’ll buy a big house and an expensive car. I’ll buy a yacht, too, and sail round the world.

Those things won’t make you happy, you know.

So, what are you going to do when you leave school?

I don’t know yet. I’ll probably go to university, but I don’t know what I’ll do after that.

Well, I’ve decided what I’m going to do. I’m going to train as a doctor and then I’m going to work in a hospital in Africa or somewhere like that.

You won’t make much money doing that.

No, but I’ll help a lot of people and make the world a better place.

Yes, good for you, Ruby. Money isn’t everything, Pete. There are more important things in life.

Yes, that’s right. Oh, look. There’s Ella getting off the bus. I’ll wait for her. See you later.

OK. Oh, by the way, are you two doing anything this evening? The new James Bond film’s on at the cinema.

No, thanks. I think I’ll just stay in and watch TV.

And Ella’s coming round to my place tonight.

Well, I’m sure she’ll want to come, too. Come on. It’s Friday.

I know. I’d like to go, but.

But what?

I haven’t got any money.

Me neither.
