Гроза, 9. Students book. Unit 7. Lesson 5-6. Exercise 3b

Tapescript:
Presenter: Tell me, what made you want to become a Father Christmas? Speaker 1: When my children were young, I always used to take them to see Father Christmas. They had so much fun. So later on I thought it would be fun to become a Father Christmas too.
Presenter: Do you need any training?
Speaker 1: Well, you have to be able to get on well with people you’ve never met, but apart from that there’s no special training.
Presenter: What do you love about your job?
Speaker 1: Seeing that happy look on children’s faces when they think Santa is talking to them and that they are going to get a present. Presenter: What do you hate?
Speaker 1: That’s easy. I hate not being Santa any more when I take my costume off-just being ordinary again.
Presenter: What’s the money like?
Speaker 1: It’s OK, and the job is great.
Presenter: What career advice would you pass on to others?
Speaker 1: Be yourself, always keep smiling. Err … Make sure you treat your customers with respect, that way you’ll get respect back.
Presenter: What made you want to become a computer security expert?
Speaker 2: I have wanted to work with computers since I was at primary school. I find the area of computer security and protecting computers users’ data really interesting and stimulating. Working with viruses is a particularly appealing part of this, as it’s a constant challenge.
Presenter: What training and skills did you need to get started?
Speaker 2: I went to university where I studied computer programming. A good knowledge of programming is important, anything to do with computers is an advantage, coupled with enthusiasm and an eagerness to learn.
Presenter: What makes a good virus technician?
Speaker 2: You need to have a great deal of patience to work in the Virus Laboratory. You also need to be attentive to detail and be good at logical thinking. Each time a virus is new and undocumented, you need to be prepared to step out into the known, trust your intuition and be confident.
Presenter: What do you love about your job?
Speaker 2: My colleagues. In this job you have to share information and learn from those around you. We all support each other and I have acquired a great deal of knowledge from the people I work with. I’d rather work in a team than on my own and dealing with people in your team is important for success. My firm also provides a superb restaurant for staff with a perfect chef, no less!
Presenter: What do you hate?
Speaker 2: The air conditioning in this building – you can’t change it!
Presenter: What’s the money like?
Speaker 2: This depends on experience and enthusiasm. However, a beginner would expect to start on round 17000 pounds a year.
Presenter: What advice would you give to others?
Speaker 2: I’d say the best advice you can give someone is that nothing is out of their reach. You need to believe that you can and will succeed, and if you work hard enough you will achieve your goals. And never stop learning.
