Asking about studying and working at the same time

Welcome to this interesting activity!


Let's watch a video about a famous youtuber making interviews to UTP students.
Listen and pay attention!

A youtuber goes to UTP to interview students for a new episode on his channel.

 A (interviewer): Hi, welcome to a new episode, what's your name?


 A (interviewer): What do you do?
 B (student 1): I’m Jorge. I’m studying accounting here at UTP.
 A (interviewer): Do you work and study at the same time?
 B (student 1): Of course! I am an apprentice at my uncle’s company.
 A (interviewer): What’s the best and the worst thing of working and studying?
 B (student 1): I have no doubt that the best for me is being more responsible now
than before. Among the most obvious, you earn a paycheck while you get more real
work experience.
 A (interviewer): Oh, I see. Are there any disadvantages?
 B (student 1): I am convinced that the worst thing could be having less social life
than before.
 A (interviewer): Congratulations Jorge. Thank you very much.

 A (interviewer): Hi, welcome to a new episode, what’s your name?


 B (student 2); I’m Cristine, I’m 18 years old. I’m studying Nursing. This is my last
semester at UTP.
 A (interviewer): Do you work and study at the same time? Could you tell us the pro
s and cons of working while studying?
 B (student 2): Yeah, I’m self-employed. I have the feeling that it’s more
stressful and I’m a bit more exhausted all the time.
There’s a great satisfaction of being your own boss because you make
the decisions yourself. I’m not sure about any drawbacks.
 A (interviewer): Congratulations Cristine. Thank you very much.

 A (interviewer): Hi, welcome to my channel. What's your name? What do you do?
 B (student 3); Hi. I’m Joao. I’m studying Graphic Design. I’m in my last semester at
UTP. Also I’m working as an assistant in a graphic design company.
 A (interviewer): What do you think about working and studying at the same time?
 B (student 3): Well, it’s not easy.
In fact, it’s harder than anyone could expect. However, it’s more satisfying because
you can see all the efforts that you have put in over the months, now they are
paying off.
 A (interviewer): Congratulations Joao! Thank you very much.

 A (interviewer): Hi. Welcome to my channel. What’s your name? What do you do?
 B (student 4): My name's Bill, I'm an apprentice at my dad's law office. I'm studying
law.
 A (interviewer): Are there more advantages or disadvantages of working while going
to university?
 B (student 4): I would say that there are a lot more disadvantages of working while
studying.
 A (interviewer): Really? Could you explain us more about it, please?
 B (student 4): The biggest disadvantage of working while studying is
stress. It’s also dangerous because you could have an accident while working, due
to you feel more tired. A part-time job can be less of a benefit and more distraction
for the typical student, who can’t focus on what really matters, his studies.
 A (interviewer): Oh, I see now. Thank you Bill.
