Speaker A: Lots of people want to be successful in business and run their own company, but I want to take it a step further.0:09

I'd love to run my own restaurant chain one day.0:17

People tell me I'm crazy and that it'll be an unbelievable amount of work with no guarantee that I'll succeed, but I don't care.0:20

There's just something in me that wants to show myself and others just how much I can achieve.0:28

The sky's the limit.0:33

Speaker B: I've always wanted to be a pilot.0:36

The thing is, though, you can't just send your CV out to airlines and expect to be offered a job.0:40

It can take up to 10 years of flying experience just to be able to apply for a position.0:46

So, I need to have lots of flying lessons and get various certificates.0:52

And I need to get a 4-year degree at a university too.0:56

It's a long, difficult, expensive process, but I'm determined to reach my goal.1:00

Speaker C. To me, there would be nothing more rewarding than being a nurse.1:07

Nurses are there for people at their most difficult moments.1:14

They get to help them practically with their medical knowledge, and they might even get the chance to help save someone's life.1:18

Nurses can also take their skills with them wherever they go.1:25

I think it would be great to spend some time nursing abroad.1:29

Speaker D: I'm actually quite envious of my friends who want to be doctors, accountants, or teachers.1:35

I'm finding it really difficult to choose which direction I want my career to take.1:42

I've never really had a strong desire to do one particular job.1:47

I think it's hard to be sure if you would like something when you've never tried it.1:51

Maybe I should try shadowing a few people in their jobs so that I can get an idea about what they do.1:55

Perhaps I'll find something that appeals to me.2:01

Speaker: E. I've always enjoyed teamwork at school.2:06

I think generally people can work more effectively when they make use of each other's skills and strengths.2:10

When people work together, they can get ideas from each other and put them all together to create something really, really good.2:17

You can't do that when you work by yourself.2:24

I think it could be really lonely and boring working alone too, so I definitely wouldn't like to do that.2:27

You have 30 seconds to complete the task.2:35

Now you will listen to speakers A to E again.3:08

Speaker A. Lots of people want to be successful in business and run their own company, but I want to take it a step further.3:14
