Gail Armand and Robert Van Sluis had a plan for their retirement. Their goal was to save enough money so that they could quit their jobs, move to Hawaii and never have to work another day in their lives. But then 2008 happened, and with it, the recession. Robert lost his job, and the real estate market crash wiped out their property investments. It seemed that the ideal time to pull the trigger would never come. However, without the funding they needed, Gail and Robert decided to move anyway and start a whole new life from scratch. Their new plan was to start a wedding business. They chose Hawaii’s Big Island, which is the place they themselves were married decades ago. Only seven months after their big move, their tree house was completed and open for business. And it drained most of their life savings. Robert and Gail’s island life is far from the retirement plan they had first imagined, but now, they’re living a different kind of dream. They have moved out of the tree house so that it could be used solely for their business, in an attempt to separate their work life from their personal one. Running their business still comes with a certain level of stress, but it’s nothing like the stress they had in California. Instead of working long hours for someone else’s business, Gail and Robert can spend their time freely helping others create special and intimate moments. And they’re never too busy to enjoy life.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12.How did the recession of 2008 affect Gail and Robert’s life?
13.Why did Gail and Robert choose Hawaii’s Big Island to start their new career?

15.What can we infer about Gail and Robert’s new job?
