Unit 2
: Listening Activity No. 13 
 
A
: I'm from the local newspaper. May I ask you some questions?
B
: Yes, of course.
A
: What's your name?
B
: I am Caroline Wood from England.
A
: How long have you been an airline stewardess, Miss Wood?
B
: Just over four years.
A
: And you've never had any other job?
B
: No. I've worked as a stewardess for Singapore Airlines ever since I left university .
A
: University? What subject did you do?
B
: Mathematics.
A
: You didn't finish your degree then?
B
: Oh, I got a degree all right, and quite a good one too.
A
: But then, ... why?
B
: People are always asking me that question. The answer's quite simple. I'm doing what I want to do.
A
: Yes, but you don't make any use of your education that way.
B
: Well, most people who have degrees don't either, except to make money or to get on in the world. 
Well, I don't especially want to get on. I like to travel and love meeting people. In my work as a 
stewardess I meet all kinds of people and travel from one country to another. I really enjoy this work. 
Besides, I make money too, enough to live on.
A
: But in effect, you've thrown away a very expensive education.
B
: Do you think so?
A
: Hm.
B
: Actually I make very good use of it.
A
: Hm.
B
: You see. When I finish work I don't take any problems home with me. I have time to read and I have 
time to learn foreign languages and then to practice them.
