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 right 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.
