M：Hi，Jane．Nice to meet you．I heard that you went to Canada during the vacation．

W：Sure．I went to Ottawa to attend a summer training course in English．

M：Wow．You were lucky．How long did you stay there?

W：I went there on July 3rd and came back on August 13 th．

M：Where did you live in Ottawa?

W：I lived with a Canadian family，the Smiths．They are very friendly．Shortly after I got there，we became good friends．And，living in their house，I could speak English with them every day．Bedsides，I didn’t need to worry about my three meals．They looked after that．

M：How nice! And how about the course?  

W：The course was also quite good．The teachers were nice．They taught us to listen，speak，read and write in English．One interesting thing I found was that the Canadian classes．Are quite different from our class here because the students have more freedom．You can sit anywhere you like in the classroom．You can ask the teacher questions at any time during the class．And you are welcome to share your ideas with the class. I really like this kind of calss．

M：How interesting! Maybe our teachers should try that．

W：Who’s coming?

M：So far，there’s Han，Yuki，Stephan，Anna Maria，Ricardo，Lily and Yong．

W：I’d love to, but I’m afraid I can’t．My bother-in-law is coming back from Mexico City．I have to pick him up at the airport．

M：That’s too bad．Well，how about coming over after you get back from the airport?

M：Have you decided which one to do?

W：We have three in mind，and of course we’ve been thinking about you．

M：Me? Why me?

W：You sing, don’t you? Everyone says you have a wonderful voice．

M：Well，I have sung a little，but I’ve never really appeared on a stage．

W：I thought you sang in church every Sunday．

M：I don’t know how you remember all of them．

In this program today，I’m going to talk about jobs．Most people have jobs．They go to work nearly every day．Some people are lucky．Either they have very interesting jobs or they earn a lot of money．Most people are not so lucky．

The most interesting jobs are often the most difficult．People take a long time to learn how to do them．Doctors study for at least six years after finishing school．Airline pilots study longer．They have to learn to fly small aircraft first，and then slowly move up to bigger and bigger aircraft．Most airline pilots are at least 30 years old．

Some young people have interesting and well-paid jobs. Many successful athletes are young．Football and tennis stars are usually under 35．Older people usually cannot play these sports very well．They cannot move fast enough．Golf，however，is a good sport for older people．Many successful golfers are quire old．

Most people work until they are 60 or 65 years old．Then they retire and have a lot of spare time．Some people though．These people usually have very interesting jobs．Writers, artists, musicians and actors usually work until they die．Their work is their life.
