Simon’s Advice on Speaking Part 1

1. Do you work or are you a student?
I’m a qualified doctor, but at the moment I’m studying English so that I can work in this country. 
2. Do you enjoy your job?
Yes, I really enjoy my job. Ever since I was a child I have always wanted to be a doctor; I’ve always 
wanted to be able to help people. 
3. What's the best thing about your job?
The best thing about my job is that I can make a difference in people’s lives. It’s a great feeling to see 
someone recover after an illness because my colleagues and I were able to help. 
4. Do you prefer working alone or with others? Why?
In a hospital you have to work as part of a team. I’ve got used to working with others, and I think you 
can achieve a lot more as a team than you would alone.

Since I will be watching the Euro 2012 football matches this weekend, let me attempt to answer these 
Part1 questions (just for fun, of course): 
1) I'm a professional football (or "soccer") player in one of the local teams in my country, but now I'm 
studying English full-time with the hope of playing for the Manchester United one day. 
2) Yes, I definitely enjoy my career. I've been playing football since very little and it has basically 
become like a passion in my life. 
3) I think the best and most satisfying thing is to score for my team. It is very difficult and challenging 
to score even 1 goal in a match, so being able to make goals can really give me a huge sense of 
satisfaction and accomplishment.

4) As a professional footballer, I have no choice but to be part of a team. But still, I really enjoy 
teamwork because I believe this is the only way for us to win not only matches but also 
championships! 
PS: Good luck to England on Sunday!!!!!
