     III. Read and translate the dialogue:

                 I HAVEN’T MADE UP MY MIND YET
      Ann: What will you do when you leave school, Mary?
      Mary: I haven’t given it much thought yet and my parents are
getting worried about it.
      Ann: And I have made up my mind already…
      Mary: What sort of career do you have in mind?
      Ann: I want to be a nurse.
      Mary: A nurse? I always get sick at the sight of blood.
      Ann: There’s a very good school for medical nurses in our
town. My teachers encourage me to take up this career. And after
some years of work as a nurse I shall go to a medical institute and
study to become a doctor. What sort of interest do you have?
      Mary: Nothing special – I like music and dancing and sewing,
but I don’t have any hobbies if that’s what you mean.
      Ann: Hmm, I see. Have you ever thought of becoming a
dressmaker? There are special vocational schools, you know.
      Mary: That is not a particularly original suggestion… that sort of
job can become so monotonous. I can’t stand monotonous work. I
want something more exciting.
      Ann: How about an air hostess? Then you can travel and meet
lots of interesting people.
      Mary: I’d love to, but I’m too plain. Don’t you think so?
Everybody else does.
      Ann: No? I don’t. I’ve seen many air hostesses plainer than
you. I mean … I don’t mean that you’re plain …
      Mary: It’s a highly competitive career …
      Ann: If you want to try you shouldn’t waste any time getting
started.
      Mary: Oh, Ann. I just remembered. I could never be an air
hostess.
      Ann: Why on earth not?
      Mary: I always get sick when I fly!
