2. What work do you do in your job?
Well, I am an accountant, so my job consists of preparing profit statements at the end of
each month. In order to do this, I must compile
（＝
gather) and analyze a lot of information
from different departments
．
Actually I get to work with the sales manager and the production
manager quite a lot since they must let me know about their expenditures and budgets for the
following months
．
3. How long have you been doing this job?
I have been working for the same company for 4 years
．
I got the job right after
graduating from university.
4. Why did you choose this kind of work?
Well, I have always been good at math, and one of my teachers advised me to became an
accountant when I was in high school. I remember talking about it with my parents and they thought
it could be a good idea because every company needs accountants. So it
wouldn’t be too hard to find a job. And they were right. I have heard that it was als
o possible
for me to get a job in Australia. I guess this career is quite stable and the salary is also decent not
bad)

me to experience something new and exciting. In the last few months I realized I wasn’t

move on
