4. READING
Read the following statements and decide which one applies to each person. Write S for
Shirley, D for Daniel, P for Pam or Z for Zack.

Shirley
When I got my first job, there weren't many choices available for women. At
the time, girls were expected to stay at home and help raise the children and
take care of the house. So the only job that was available for me then was as
a waitress at a local restaurant. My parents knew the owner, so he agreed to
let me work there a couple nights a week. I started working there when I was
16. My parents thought I was too young, but I was really excited to get out of
the house and make my own money. It was a good job, and I had a really nice
boss. Plus, it was fun, because all my friends from high school would come in
the evenings and I was able to hang out with people I knew while I worked. It
was the perfect job!

Daniel
I spent a lot of time in my dad's dental office as a child. Even
when I was very young, I understood how things worked there
and I helped out whenever I could. So, everyone knew that
someday I would follow in my father's footsteps and take over
the family business. After I got my degree in Dentistry, I started
working in my dad's practice as his partner until he retired a few
years later. I learnt a lot from my dad and from watching him in
surgery. I learnt how to love my job and be really good at it. I'm
glad I didn't have to go to a bunch of interviews. Now, my son
helps out at the office and it seems he has already decided on his future career. What can I say?
Dentistry runs in our blood.

Pam
My first job in the ‘real world,’ was really hard to get. I don't know what the
problem was; I mean I had my Master's degree and all the necessary
qualifications and I was hard working. Still, no one wanted to hire me. Maybe
it's because I had so little real-world experience. I went to at least three job
interviews every week for more than six months. It was a lot of driving around
for nothing and it was very tiring. Not having a job for that long was really
stressful, because I kept eating away at my savings so I could pay rent and
bills. Eventually, I did manage to find a job with a good company. My salary
was a lot more than I expected, so I guess in the end, the wait finally paid off!

I consider myself pretty lucky when it comes to my life. I'm 22, I've just
graduated from university, and I already have a great job. I design websites. It's
funny, actually. The day I got my degree, I put my CV on Monster.com, and
within a few hours, I had a few companies interested in me. I decided on one
and we had a brief phone interview and that was that. I e-mailed them my
portfolio, they liked what they saw and hired me. They didn't even need to meet
me! The best part is I can work from home and they pay my salary right into my
bank account and I never even have to leave my house. The only problem is I
still live with my parents. So it's really time I did something about that. I'm tired
of my friends making fun of me for my mum still cooking for me and doing my
laundry! But hey, with this great new job, now I can afford to live on my own.
