Dream Job Since 1969, Mark Harris has worked for @ well-known toy manufacturer designing cars, i When he started, he was the only man in the department, but now he is in charge of a team of 35 designers. Mark first got interested in cars during his teens. His dad was a football coach and one day hhe took a car magazine away from one of his players during @ practice session. He brought it home and gave it to Mark. From that moment on, cars became the love of Mark's life. He went on to study car design at university and then worked for a car company designing actual cars, before being persuaded by a friend to join the toy company and set up their design department. Of all the cars he has designed, his favourite is the Silver Sunrise. It may not have ; achieved such high sales as some other cars, but it is important to Mark because it was j the first time he was allowed to make a model that looked like a real car. ‘Before that, the j wheels on all the cars stuck out so they would go straight,’ explained Mark. ‘The Silver Sunrise was the first one where the wheels were under the body. It meant it didn’t work so well on a race track but it looked amazing.’ 1 Now in his 60s, Mark is approaching retirement. He finds it hard to imagine what that will j be like. ‘T have expensive hobbies, so it might be difficult to continue with them when 1 ‘am no longer earning! Plus, I like coming in to work.

Today we are talking to someone who has managed to turn her hobby into a successful business. Her name is Amy Jones, and she is a jewellery designer. Amy, welcome to the show! Tell me, how did you first start designing jewellery? A: Well, 've got older sisters, and when | was a little girl lused to love playing with their jewellery. | suppose my interest really started there. Then, when | was at secondary school, | created my first pieces. Now | am in my second year at university ~ I'm studying marketing - and finally it's more than just a hobby. es, your jewellery is actually on sale isn't it? Where can people buy it? A:At the moment, just in Bartlett's department store in my home town. But several other shops in different parts of the country are interested as G P: P:well. plan to develop my own website soon. That way once people hear the name Arctic Jade, they can look me up online and get more information about me. P:So the name of your business is Arctic Jade? How did you choose that name? ‘AzWell, | didn't think my own name was terribly interesting, but | wanted to keep my initials. This name seems to work people can remember it and it's easy to spell, That's quite important when you are choosing a name for a company! P:Yes. How would you describe your jewellery, Amy? ‘A:My designs are quite simple. | prefer that to very complicated pieces. The main thing that people Notice is that no two pieces are ever the same. | get a lot of my ideas from different periods of history, and | try to use unusual materials. P: They're very creative, Now, you're still a student aren't you? How do you find time to run a business as well? is difficult at times, | must admit. I'm in the University volleyball team and | would hate to give that up. So far I've been able to manage everything without getting into trouble with the lecturers, it’s, just 2 question of working really hard! I guess I'l have more time for myself later on. P:And what about the future? What are your plans? ‘A: want to finish my university studies. That way if the business doesn't succeed, Il have something ‘else to do! Right now I'm looking for somewhere new to live. I need my own workshop at the moment I'm using the dining room of my parents’ house and it's not really very fair on them! P: Well, good luck with everything, Amy. Listening Part 3 | ive on an island off the west coast of Scotland. | love it here but a trip to the cinema means a 55-minute boat journey plus a half-hour drive to the nearest town. That's why we all get so excited about the ‘Screen Machine. It's a mobile cinema that travels round the Scottish islands, visiting 23 different venues in turn every seven weeks, and we get to see all the latest movies. You can't miss the huge, bright blue Screen Machine when it rolis into the car park. The sides of the truck. are raised to make the roof, and the walls fold out from underneath it. It takes an hour for it to change into a comfortable, air-conditioned 80-seat cinema, It’s amazing! | really admire the Screen Machine's driver. Of course, he operates the film and sells the tickets, but he needs to be a mechanic too. Sometimes he has to fix the truck's motors. The salt in the sea air isn’t good for them and they can break down. A: The Screen Machine was specially built to be able to drive on the islands’ rough mountain roads. ‘Sometimes the driver can have problems getting onto the ferry because they are often quite small and the entrance can be narrow and steep. Occasionally the Screen Machine's visit is cancelled because the roads are blocked with snow. And once or twice the Screen Machine has had to close down in the middle of a film because of strong winds, and the audience missed the end. Luckily that doesn’t happen very often! Ticket prices are very reasonable so, as you can imagine, as soon as the Screen Machine arrives, the ticket office phone starts ringing. We can now also book in advance on the Screen Machine website, which makes it even more convenient. It's an amazing service and definitely better than a long journey across the sea to the cinemal Listening Part 4 i ait, J=JOHN) i, John, Have you spoken to your parents about ‘your birthday party yet? Are they going to let you have it at home? hey still haven't decided. 've tried everything | can to persuade them, but they're still not sure. I'm worried they're going to say no. ll be fine.
