In the book, we will check out these jobs in detail: a ballet dancer, a police officer, a paramedic and a firefighter, a travel writer and a chef.

When we read these interviews, we will be hearing their energetic and experienced voices in our minds. Let’s check out these interesting jobs and learn about these people’s careers in detail.

Summary

It is interesting to learn about a ballet dancer dancing beautifully, a police officer bringing about justice, a paramedic and a firefighter saving people’s lives from danger, a travel writer introducing wonderful attractions to travellers and a chef giving people pleasure with delicious food. You might even feel that you want to be like one of them. A ballet dancer, however, always has the risk of injury, and a police officer can come face-to-face with an armed robber. Putting out fires is always dangerous, and a travel writer can sometimes lose his or her way. Kitchens where delicious meals are cooked are tough places because the high heat is very uncomfortable and the sharp knives are dangerous. Through these work situations, which are unlike what we imagine, we can realize that every job has difficult parts, too. Here, let’s check out jobs that we don’t know much about by reading some interviews with people who have those jobs.
