Cathy: Yes, please. Officer: Well, just let me ask a few questions to begin with. How old are you, Catherine? Mother: She's nineteen. Well, she's almost nineteen. Officer: And what qualifications have you got? Mother: Well, qualifications from school, of course. Very good results she got. And she got certificates for ballet and for playing the piano. Officer: Is that what you're interested in, Catherine, dancing and music? Cathy: Well... Mother: Ever since she was a little girl, she's been very keen on music and dancing. She ought to be a music teacher or something. She's quite willing to train for a few more years to get the fight job, aren't you, Catherine? Cathy: Well, if it's a good idea. Mother: There you are, you see. She's a good girl really, a bit lazy and disorganized sometimes, but she's very bright. I'm sure the Careers Officer will have lots of jobs for you. Officer: Well, I'm afraid it's not as easy as that. There are many young people these days who can't find the job they want. Mother: I told you, Catherine. I told you, you shouldn't wear that, dress. You have to look smart to get a job these days. Officer: I think she looks very nice. Mrs. Hunt, will you come into the other office for a moment and look at some of the information we have there? I'm sure you'd like to see how we can help young people. Mother: Yes, I'd love to. Mind you, I think Catherine would be a nice teacher. She could work with young children. Officer: All fight. But I'm afraid there's a lot of competition.
