A: Personally, I think these footballers earn too much money. They’re 20 years old and they’re already millionaires. I think it’s crazy. B: I agree. They earn enough money in one week to buy a house, a car – anything. Now if you look at, say, fire fighters, who risk their lives … A: Fire fighters don’t earn enough. B: They don’t earn enough. A: What about doctors? Certainly in Britain they work very hard. B: They work too hard. One of my friends is a doctor and he sometimes does 18 hour shifts. A: Ha, that’s crazy. B: Eighteen hours without a break. Again, they’re saving people’s lives. A: Teachers, too. I think they should get much bigger salaries. They also work really long hours. B: Yeah, although they do get good holidays. A: Yeah. That’s true. B: Actually, I think they get too many holidays. There’s Christmas and half term and Easter and the summer. What is it in the summer – about six weeks? A: Yeah, but I think teachers need it ’cause of all the stress.
