Nicky is studying Law at University. ‘I chose to study Law because I want to be a
detective or a lawyer’, she says. ‘When I was young I always enjoyed watching
detective programmes on TV. I imagined solving the crimes myself and helping the
victims. I also loved watching films with court room scenes.’ Many children drop out of
school where Nicky lives, so graduating from High School was a proud moment for her.
She says her mum always motivated her to work hard at school. ‘When I was at school
I was good at History. It was my favourite subject.’ If you’re good at History, you’ll find
studying Law similar in many ways. I’d also say Maths has helped me a lot. I think
about Law questions a bit like I do Maths questions, identifying the problem, applying
the formula and finding the answer. Everyone knows Law degrees involve a lot of
reading. It’s true, Law students are always the last ones to leave the library! You also
need to have a good memory and a good analytical brain. It’s lots of hard work and
many hours studying, but we still find time to have fun. I hope to work for a Criminal
Law company when I leave university. One day, I plan to have my own company!

Read the text again and answer the questions.

a. What does Nicky want to do when she’s older?
b. What first interested her in this career?
c. What was her favourite subject at school?
d. What subject does she says is helpful for Law?

f. What two skills does she say you need to study Law?

DEVELOPING
A) Wants to be a detective or lawyer
B) Solving crimes himself and helping people
C) Nicky's favorite subject was history
D) Nicky says that apart from history, mathematics helps her a lot to identify the
problem, apply the formula and find the answer
E) Because law degrees involve a lot of reading
F) Because they need to have a good memory and an analytical brain
