Write the number of each paragraph next to the correct question. —_S Age isn't really important, but most DJs are at least 16. ‘Anyone with the right attitude can be a DJ, but knowledge of all types of music and mixing is essential. You need to be up-to-date with the latest music trends DJing at a nightclub or on an evening radio show will mean late nights. Presenting a breakfast show could mean getting up at 4.30 a.m. Getting free records, meeting famous people and becoming famous yourself. Having to play records you hate, having to be cheerful when you're not feeling well and working long hours. It's badly paid to start with, but you can earn loads of money if you're good.
