My dream job
When I grow up, I’m going to do what I want to do. I’m going to move somewhere interesting. Paris sounds like a city that I could enjoy. They have lots of fashion shows there. I want to be a reporter for a fashion magazine. So hoe am I going to do it? First, I’m going to find a part-time job for a year or two and save some money then I’m going to be a student at an art school in Paris. And I’m going to study French at the same time. Next, I’m going to hold exhibitions because I want to be rich and famous. I’m going to buy a big house with the money and I’m going to travel all over the world. Finally, I’m going to retire somewhere quiet and beautiful.

What do young people think about the places in town? We did a survey of over readers and this is what we learned. All the movie theaters are good, but the screen city is the best in our town. It has the biggest screens and the most comfortable seats. However, town cinema is the cheapest, and it has the friendliest service. The most popular clothing store is Jason’s. It has the best quality clothing. It’s also the cheapest. Funky Fashions is the worst. It has really bad service. As for radio stations, most people think that Jazz 107.9 FM is really great. It plays the most interesting music.
