And you’d have to look at their poo to check if they’ve got worms and things. I couldn’t do that. Lizzie: Well, I’m not sure I can do it, so I’ve applied for a job at Pet’s Corner to find out if I can, and they’ve just offered me a six-week internship during the summer holidays. Mark: That sounds great. What will you have to do there? Lizzie: I’m not 100 percent sure, I guess it’s mainly re- stocking the shelves with pet food, and maybe, if I’m really lucky, they’ll let me clean out the hamster cages. Hannah: At least their bites will only be quite small. Greg: You said you applied for the job? With a CV, like the real thing? Lizzie: Yes, CV, cover letter, the lot. Greg: How did you know how to write that? Lizzie: There’s some good stuff on the internet, and my mums helped me as well. I can send you some of the links if you give me your email. Greg: That would be great because, I was thinking, maybe I could apply at some fitness clubs for a job to see how I like it. Mark: And if you’re lucky, they’ll let you clean the hamster cages. Hannah: Or the loos … Coursebook, Progress check 04, task 01 ( À 30) Announcer: Listen to a conversation between four teenagers about volunteer work. Lizzie: Hi, boys! Dan, Mark: Hi, Lizzie! Lizzie: Hey, this is my cousin Pat from Southampton, who I was telling you about the other day. The one that is getting her driving license paid for by the city council. Dan: Really? That’s cool. Pat: Well, not all of it, but … Lizzie: She got 760 pounds for a couple of hours of volunteering! Pat: 80 hours, actually. Two full weeks. More than that, in fact, because on some days, I didn’t work that long. Mark: I don’t get it, how does it work? Pat: Well, we’ve got this programme in Southampton where you can apply, and you do volunteer work for 80 hours, like I said, and then the city pays 760 pounds towards your driving license if you take it through a school in Southampton. Lizzie: I told you all about it last Wednesday, remember? Mark: So, you apply, you get accepted, and then you just do whatever you like? Pat: It’s not quite as simple as that. There are certain days which you can choose in advance, and you have to register for them so that the organisers know who’s coming, and they send you wherever somebody is needed. Dan: So what kind of work did you do, then? Pat: Well, mostly unskilled stuff like – one day I had to empty the wastepaper bins in the pedestrian area, that was really the worst. They’ve got this pickup truck and you get a key and unlock the bins and have to heave the contents into the pickup. Greg: Well, now you’ve got me. No, I don’t think so. That’s why I haven’t thought about it seriously. It was just soo good to hear that they’d take me on. What about you? I mean, what are you thinking of doing with your life? Mark: I’m going to be a wushu champion, of course, like you want to become Britain’s first Olympic gold medalist in cross-country running. ( Both laugh ) Greg: No, seriously? Mark: Seriously, I’m thinking that maybe I’ll study medicine and specialise in sports injuries or something like that … Or maybe I’ll study business and found my own fitness studio chain, and then I’ll track you down in Australia or wherever you are and offer you a franchise agreement and you’ll help me to crack the Australian market. Now that sounds like a neat plan. Lizzie and Hannah: Hi, Mark! Mark: Oh, hi there. Greg: Hi! Hannah: What’s up? You’re looking really thoughtful and serious. Greg: We ARE really thoughtful. We’ve just been discussing our futures, and they’re not looking too bright – at least mine isn’t. Mark: This is Greg – we train together – Hannah and Lizzie from school. Greg, Hannah, Lizzie: Hi! Mark: Greg wants to become a fitness trainer. Greg: And Mark wasn’t too happy about it, but then he discovered that he could actually employ me once he’s founded his own fitness centre. Mark: Actually, I’d rather go into sports medicine, but I’m not sure I’m good enough for that. Er, what about you two? Hannah: You mean like my future? Well, I’d like to meet somebody rich, marry him and do something for deprived inner-city kids. Lizzie: What kind of plan is that? Greg: The part about inner-city kids sounds good, but I’d support your friend in trashing the first part. Hannah: Or, I could found a cosmetics company, get rich myself and do something for deprived inner-city kids. Mark: You’d need to be really good at chemistry for that, I suppose. Hannah: Chemistry? Lizzie: Yep, chemistry. Hannah: OK, then, I’ll start a modelling career, get rich and do something … Mark: … for deprived inner-city kids – where has this idea come from? Hannah: I watched a TV documentary the other day, and I just felt it might be a good idea – and would impress you all. Actually, I have no idea what I want to do – I’m not even sure I’m going to continue school after the exams. Greg: That modelling idea might really work … Hannah: Oh, come off it. I just made that up on the spur of the moment. Nobody our age has any idea what they want to become. Lizzie: Well, I do. I want to become a vet. Mark: A vet? Like in cats and dogs? Lizzie: And cows and sheep, yeah. Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
