Question: What job would
you like to do? Why?
Do a class survey.
Hi, I’m Frida from Sweden. Although
I’m a girl I’d like to be a fighter pilot.
I’ve always liked flying and aeroplanes.
Flying a plane is not only exciting, it’s
also well-paid. And it’s my dream.
My parents think it’s a silly career
choice for a girl, but I disagree. I had
a meeting with a careers advisor at
school last week and she told me I
could become anything I wanted if I
was motivated enough. She also
warned me that a pilot’s training was
very difficult, but that no problem
because I like challenges!
