Jacob: Hello, Rosie. It's nice to see you. How are you? Are you enjoying your summer holidays? Rosie: Oh, hi, Jacob. Nice to see you, too. I'm fine, thank you. It's great not to have to do homework. I have so much free time to indulge in my hobbies. Jacob: I'm so happy for you. If you ask me, well, I'm not doing anything at all. I'm so bored. Rosie: Don't you have a hobby? You must be interested in something. Jacob: Well, I like reading books and watching films, but I can do that all the year round. You know me, I'm not as hard-working as you are, and I wasn't very busy during the academic year. Rosie: Well, why don't you get a summer job, then? That will keep you busy at least for some hours, and you can earn some money for your gap year next summer. Jacob: My parents have already given me the same piece of advice, but I don't want to work this summer. I'd rather take up some hobby instead. Rosie, can you recommend some hobby for me? What's your hobby? Rosie: Well, Jacob, my hobby is drawing. I never have time to draw during the academic year, so now I spend a lot of time with my drawing pad and pencils. Jacob: Drawing requires some special training, I guess. I have never attended any art classes. What shall I do? Rosie: You can take up doodling instead of drawing. It doesn't require having any special skills. Anybody can do it. And that is why doodling is so good for beginners. Jacob: I have never heard about doodling before. Could you please tell me more about it? Rosie: Sure. Actually, there are different kinds of doodles, and some illustrators use it to draw pictures for books. However, there are simple abstract doodles when you just take a pen or pencil and draw anything that comes to your mind, flowers, animals, ocean waves, and so on. You can then color the drawing. It will look fantastic. Jacob: Have you tried it yourself? Rosie: I sometimes do it when I feel tired. It really helps me to get rid of stress. I even have a book where some psychologists explain various connections between your doodles and some feelings or problems you might have. Jacob: I say, Rosie, that sounds really interesting to me. Can you lend me the book? I'd love to read it. Rosie: You can pop in at my place in the evening and borrow it. No problem. Jacob: You are a star, Rosie. Thank you very much. Look, I've got to go now. My mum is waiting for me. I'll take the book this evening. Rosie: Bye, Jacob. See you tonight. Jacob: Bye, Rosie.

What do we learn about Liza May at the beginning of the interview? 1) She will advertise her first book. 2) She has her own radio program. 3) She is a well-known specialist in her area.

Interviewer: Good afternoon, everybody and welcome to our weekly programme 'Your Dream Job'. Today in our studio we have Lisa May, a famous translator and interpreter, who has recently published her second textbook on interpretation. Hello Lisa. Lisa May: Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for inviting me here today. Interviewer: My first question is about the difference between translation and interpretation. Which one is more difficult? Lisa May: Well, an interpreter is someone who translates spoken words in two directions. An interpreter should be able to act spontaneously, since most of the time specialists work without any reference material or resources. Interpreters are also a bridge between two or more people, as the specialist has to translate the tone, emotions and intentions of the speakers. And that's not easy! Interviewer: Is it hard to become an interpreter then? Lisa May: In order to become an interpreter, you would need at least a bachelor's degree in a foreign language or a specific area in which you want to work. To improve your job prospects, you can consider getting a master's degree or taking some postgraduate courses, which takes about two more years. In case you want to work in a specific industry, you should consider undergoing specialised training, which means extra expenses. For example, a medical interpreter certificate will cost you around $500 and take about 40 hours of training. Interviewer: Are interpreters in high demand now? Lisa May: According to statistics, between 2010 and 2020, the American interpreter job market has grown by about 40%. That's a lot faster than the average for all occupations in the USA. This is happening because more and more foreigners are coming to the USA. Moreover, the country's growing international trade also needs plenty of interpreters. Interviewer: As far as I understand, work experience is important for an interpreter. How can a beginner get it? Lisa May: I think aspiring interpreters shouldn't overlook the advantages of volunteer opportunities. There are many places which offer opportunities for polishing your interpretation skills while volunteering. Many of these opportunities are in the medical field, although there are some for future court or business interpreters as well. Internships, both paid and unpaid, can also help. Interviewer: What do you think a good interpreter must be like? Lisa May: I'd say that truly successful interpreters never editorialize. You must resign yourself to expressing only what the speaker is saying. You can learn a lot as an interpreter by being a fly on the wall through whom the whole conversation flows. However, you need to keep your own thoughts silent, acting only as a voice for others. Even if you strongly disagree with what's being said, your job is to render it accurately, without commentary. And it's not just the words you say — you'll need to control your facial expressions as well, so that you don't colour the speaker's meaning in any way. And it goes without saying that the conversations you interpret must remain confidential. Interviewer: What's your final tip for future interpreters? Lisa May: You must definitely keep up to date with both your native and foreign languages and pay attention to new or unfamiliar words and expressions. Also, you should remember that language is more than just words and expressions. You have to learn a language in its ever-evolving cultural context. Foreign movies and TV shows are a convenient way to understand not just the language but also the people who speak it. Interviewer: Thank you, Lisa. Lisa May: Thank you.
