University first.

I like meeting new people so I want to work in a hotel. First I
am going to study in the Hotel and Catering Training Centre in
Muharraq. Then I'll try to get a job. I'd like to be the first
woman hotel manager in Bahrain. My dad says it's possible
"start at the bottom and work your way up" he said.

Ibtisam Abdullah
I'm not really sure what I want to do. I like children and I
like helping people. Perhaps I will work in a hospital or a
health centre. I'm going to find out about the College of
Health Sciences in Salmaniya Hospital. My mother and father

Read the text below then answer the questions:

Two years ago Steve and Margret Smith sold their house and bought a new
home. Well. What is unusual about the Smith family is that they left a
three-bed roomed house in London for something completely different.
Where they live now, they have no neighbours and there's no traffic. When
they get tired of one place, they simply move to a new place. So far they
have moved three times – they only stay in one area for about six months.
Their new home is very small. In fact Steve and Margret sleep, cook, eat
and relax in one room. The kitchen has a sink and a cooker, and there is a
separate bathroom. They say it's very comfortable and they have
everything they need. They've even got a television and a microwave!
Margret and Steve find shopping difficult, because the shops are usually a

long way from their home. Steve says that the next time the move, they are
going to park outside a supermarket!
