Audio script:

[Man]: Hi, I’m Minh. My parents were farmers in a remote village. Though they worked very hard in the fields, they were still poor. I wanted to find ways for farmers like my parents to earn a better living. So I decided to learn agriculture engineering at university. Now I’m working for the local agriculture department in my hometown. I help farmers grow better crops by using farming technology. I also persuade them to try new farming methods. Though it’s a demanding job, I’m glad I’m doing well at it.

[Woman]: Hi, I’m Ann. When I was a child, my grandmother, who was a chef, taught me how to cook. I liked cooking so much that I attended a vocational college where I earned a cooking certificate. Now I’m a chef in a restaurant in a small hotel. I make tasty and healthy food which customers love very much. Though it’s a well-paid job, I want to develop my career further. I’m learning more about food and new cooking skills. Hopefully, in the next five years, I’ll have my own restaurant.
