Chistopher

I would like to be a pilot in the army. This job requires an aptitude for science and mathematics because
navigation skills are important and calculations have to be made all the time, both on the ground and in
the air. But maths and science are my favourite school subjects. I also like adventure and I know that
when you are a pilot, you are as free as a bird. I know that it is dangerous, but if you don’t take any risks in
life, then you die, you haven’t lived at all.

Rita

My dream job is being a model. I want to be like Laetitia Casta, who has appeared on the covers of some of
the major fashion magazines. I want to be famous, and to take the world by storm, because I think that the
world is exciting and fabulous. Of course it will be difficult to have great success in modelling, as there are
a lot of models in the world and only a few have chance of becoming successful. But only time will tell.

Greg

I want to be a bartender, like Tom Cruise in Cocktail, and work on Bikini Island. There are many sandy
beaches, with blue skies and transparent Pacific waters. There are beautiful, suntanned bodies
everywhere, and the relaxing sound of crashing waves and refreshing sea smell is just perfect to escape the
rat race which is our society.
