1. Read the text. What jobs did the people have when they were young?

(Đọc văn bản. Khi còn nhỏ mọi người đã làm những công việc gì?)

Johnny Depp: Some celebrities know what it's like to look for a job and to work from nine to five. For example, did you know that Johnny Depp sold pens in a call centre before he became an actor? It's hard to believe but it's true.

And Johnny Depp is not the only famous person who had a normal job before becoming famous. Model Megan Fox worked as a waitress. Beyoncé helped out at her mother's beauty salon. Jennifer Lopez (JLo) had a temporary job in a lawyer's office. And Tom Cruise had a part-time job delivering newspapers.

Beyoncé: Some celebrities had jobs that don't seem surprising. Writer J.K. Rowling was an English teacher. She had a full-time job in a school in Portugal before she wrote about Harry Potter.

But other famous people had more surprising jobs. Brad Pitt, for example, once got a very strange job. He had to dress up as a giant chicken to attract customers to a restaurant! It was better than being unemployed but I'm sure he wasn't upset when he lost that job.

What was your dream?

What were your dreams and ambitions when you were a child? Are your dreams the same now? Nearly all children have a dream for the future. Sometimes they want to be like people they see on television or someone in their family. When I was a child I wanted to be a lawyer because I admired the lawyer in a TV drama! My sister wanted to be a princess!

A recent survey asked 11,000 seven-year-olds about their ambitions and the results were interesting. Most of them had definite ideas about their future careers. The most popular jobs included teacher, scientist, firefighter and police officer. In general boys wanted to earn a lot of money (a third of them wanted to become a footballer or sportsman) and girls preferred a job helping people, like a doctor or teacher.

Experts say that today's children have greater ambitions than their parents had and this is a very good thing. People who have a dream will work harder and have fewer problems. Sometimes those dreams aren't realistic and they change. Not every seven-year-old boy will become a rich and successful footballer! I didn't become a lawyer - and surprisingly, my sister didn't become a princess! But it is important to be ambitious, We all need to dream.
