Nora: Oh Harry. Surely he's a bit young to decide on his career. He hasn't even got to college yet.
Harry: Not at all, Nora. It's wisest to decide in good time. Look at me, for example. I really wantedto be a sailor, but now I spend my days sitting at a desk in an office. Yes, it's silly to train forthe wrong job. And after all, Robert will be going to college soon.

X wasa secret agent. He had rented a furnished room in a provincial town not far from the publicpark and had been there two weeks. He was standing at the window looking out at the dull beds ofgeraniums, the park gates and the cold, uninviting statue of QueenVictoriathat stood across the streetfrom him, It was raining hard and the few people who passed by looked wet and miserable. X wasmiserable, too. How, he wondered, could anybody think there was anything interesting about the lifeof a secret agent He knew it was because people had seen so many television playsabout glamorousspies that they thought the life of a secret agent was exciting. They were convinced that every cigarette lighter concealed a secret tape recorder; that a fountain pen held in a certain way would open alocked door, that the touch of a gold ring against the hand of an enemy would make him reveal all hissecrets. How wrong they were! He looked round his room. The wallpaper was in the worst possibletaste, the pictures horrible, the carpet worn, dirty and faded; and he was cold. This was the thirdMonday he had come to the window to look out. He prayed it would be the last.
Robert: Well, that's not the way I look at it, Dad. It's the job I care about, not the money.
Harry: Maybe not; but you'll learn to care about the money too, when you've got a family to keep.
Laura was pushed into the train. It was almost full but she was given a seat by a man with amoustache. Laura thanked him and sat down. She started to read her newspaper. In the tunnel the trainstopped suddenly and Laura was thrown to the floor together with the man with the moustache.Somebody screamed. The lights went out. It was quarter past 6 on a cold, wet December evening.
Ihad two months until my new job began.It was like waiting an entire summer for school to start.Ispent those two months talking to figure skating coaches and judges.Iread boring rule bookห้องสมุดไป่ตู้.Idrove to the rinks where the skaters trained, and made notes about our conversations.Ieven took a lesson, which made some of the skaters laugh.
In the station she went to one of the automatic ticket machines but she didn't have enoughchange, so she had to join the queue at the ticket window. She bought her ticket and ran to theescalator. Laura went to the platform and waited for the tube. It arrived and the crowd moved forward.
