Test 3 listening I recently spoke to some people about their jobs and here's what they told me.0:01
Speaker 1 My job involves creating cool devices for computers, so I guess you could call me an inventor.0:10
It's a challenging job, but the hours are too long.0:18
So I'm considering getting a part time job as a teacher.0:21
I'll earn less money but I'll have more free time and I can always invent gadgets as a hobby.0:25

Speaker 2 Painting was just something I used to do in my free time.0:58
I never thought that I would ever become a professional painter.1:03
But here I am a few years later, combining my past time with work and looking forward to my fifth art exhibition next month.1:06
I really love my job.1:15

Speaker 3 Being a graphic designer is very demanding.1:43
Well, not the work itself, that's easy enough, but there's a lot of pressure involved when you know that something has to be ready by a certain time or date.1:49
I've managed so far, but it's not easy to complete so many tasks when you have such limited time.1:57
It gets very stressful sometimes.2:03

Speaker 4 Personally, I don't like being out of town that much.2:34
It seems like I'm always on a plane, going here or there for interviews or book tours.2:39
What I enjoy is writing novels.2:44
It's what I've always wanted to do.2:46
I simply hate being away from home so much and when I'm on the road I really miss my family.2:48

Speaker 5 I haven't been a scientist for long, but someday I want to make a name for myself.3:21
You see, making an important breakthrough usually takes years of hard work.3:28
You have a theory and then test your theory again and again.3:33
It takes a lot of patience.3:37
But if you succeed in doing something no one else has done before, future generations will always remember you for your achievements.3:39
And that's what I'm hoping for someday.3:46
