1)Josef: «Being a business executive requires a number of qualities. You definitely have to be hardworking or you'll never succeed. You also have to be persuasive, since doing business is all about getting people to see things your way. There are plenty of good things about being an executive: I mean it's a well-paid job and people respect me for what I do. On the other hand, there's a lot of travelling, and I don't have much free time; and my holiday is usually very short, too. I enjoy it, though– it's the right kind of job for me».

2)I'm Julia and I work as a nurse. First and foremost, a nurse has to be patient. Sick people can be very difficult, and the worst thing you can do is lose your temper. You have to be sympathetic and caring too, so that people know you care about them. It's a very satisfying job - you always know you've done your best to help people. It can be very upsetting as well, especially when people die. I can't imagine doing another job, though – nursing is my life.

3)I'm Diana Williams and l'm here today to tell you about my work. People ask me why I decided to start a new magazine. Well, I've been a journalist for many years working for newspapers and magazines in this country and abroad. I've always dreamt of starting my own magazine, not because I want to be rich but because I want to do something different. And now I've done it! It is different from other magazines and I'm sure it's going to be successful.

4)Hi! I'm Steve Barton and l'm a firefighter. The great thing about this job is helping people – you have the chance to save lives. It can be exciting, as well. Unfortunately it's a dangerous job. It's possible to get injured or even die on the job. Considering the risks, it's not well paid either. On the whole, though, I think the good things outweigh the bad ones.

5)My name's Ross Shafer. I'm a store owner. No career is perfect. Ask questions of people who are doing what you dream of doing. Ask them to describe the downside of what they do. If you really want to, try this new career because you'll have lifelong regrets if you don't. That's a calling, a passion. Passion and commitment will succeed in the face of all adversity.
