Read the texts from a magazine article in which five speakers talked about their jobs. For questions 61 to 65, match the speakers (61 to 65) to one of the statements ( A to G) given below.
Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Speaker 1
When I was at university, I was horrified by what had happened to my friends by the time they reached the end of the course. They all seemed to take entry exams for the Civil Service, and there were some of them who went as low as to go into the Tax office. How gray, I thought. But now look at me!
Speaker 2
The circular letter I get drives me absolutely mad, from American Express, etc. They’re sent to my work address and they’re all addressed to Mr. S Andrews! Obviously they found the name on some published list and assumed that anybody who wasn’t a secretary must of course be a man. It’s stupid really, because the company does put Mr. or Ms. in front of the names on its departmental lists, but perhaps because they naturally assume it’s a man, they’re just blind to the woman’s names amongst the heads of departments.
Speaker 3
I worked in London at a large hospital as a nursing office. It’s what a lot of people call a male nurse, which I think is the most ridiculous term I’ve ever come across. It sort of implies that a nurse ought to be female and that by being male I’m different, but the idea still carries on. The other thing is that people always say I suppose you really wanted to be a doctor’, just because I’m a man. They can’t imagine that I really wanted to be a nurse and that it wasn’t just that I failed to be a doctor. And what they don’t realize is the work’s completely different, you know as a male nurse you’ve much mom contact with the patients and, you know, a long term responsibility for their welfare. There’s no way I’d want to be a doctor. Well, except for the money of course.
Speaker 4
I’m a sales representative, what used to be called a traveling salesman, and for some reason there’s lots of dirty jokes about traveling salesmen. I suppose it’s because they tend to travel a lot, you know, a night here, a night there. Well, people get the idea they’re not particularly dependable, sort of fly by nights I suppose, you know, wife in every port. But it isn’t tree.
Speaker 5
I’m an apprentice hairdresser. I enjoy the work very much. I’m learning a lot, not just about hair, but how to get along with people. I’m gaining confidence because I never had that at school. I left school as soon as I could. I hated it. I remember teachers used to look down on jobs like hairdressing. They were ever so stuck up. They thought that only girls who were a bit dim went in for hairdressing, but I’m not dim at air. If I work hard and get all my certificates. If I save hard, in a few years I could start my own business, and I’d be earning five times as much as those old bags at school!
Now match each of the paragraphs (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] He should be a doctor, for nursing is a woman’s job.
[B] Sales representative is not dependable, have wife at every port.
[C] Working in Civil Service or Tax Office is Grey.
[D] Manager of a department is always a man’s job.
[E] Working in a bank is stuffy, bourgeois and funny.
[F] Hairdresser is a job for dim girls.
[G] Accountant is a boring job.
