NANCY’S NOTES
Yesterday we had a very interesting class. We spoke about professions
and jobs. I wrote everything about everybody in my notebook because our teacher, Miss
Elson, asked me to combine the information and make a report.
Two students are going to be doctors. Three girls want to be models. Four students want to
be lawyers. People always need advice about laws. Kate Jinks is going to be an accountant.
Her mother is an accountant and works at the bank. Kate thinks she has to do well in
Computing. Nobody is going to be a litter man, though everybody thinks it is very
important to collect litter. No one wants a poorly paid job. Bob Harris is going to be a
weatherman. He thinks it’s the most important profession nowadays. Weather can bring a
lot of trouble. Bob wants to forecast the weather.
Questions:
1. Why did Nancy write everything about everybody in her notebook?
a. She was learning everything about everybody.
b. Her classmates asked her to make a survey.
c. Her teacher asked her to combine information and make a report.

II. Read the dialogue and the article from a UK newspaper.
Bill: School is work just like any other work.
Denise: I think it’s not work at all. If you are a brilliant
doctor or designer you earn a lot of money. You become popular. Everybody knows and
respects you. Newspapers and magazines write about you. Who knows about your great
achievements and your excellent school work? Nobody except our teachers and parents. You
work more than your parents and don’t get money for your work. Sometimes your classmates
tease you.
Bill: I’ve brought a newspaper with an interesting article.
Read it and decide who is right, you or me?
