Hi, my name’s Jason. When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut, because I like reading about different planets and space travel. At school, my favourite subject is science and I often go to the Space Museum near my home. When I leave school, I think I’ll go to university and I’ll learn to fly a plane. Later, I think I’ll travel into space.
I don’t want to get married too soon, so I think I’ll wait until I’m twenty-seven. I hope my partner will be a kind and friendly woman. I don’t want to be rich or famous, but I want to be important. I also want to live in a big city, not in a village or a small town.
I don’t think that the world will change very much. We’ll probably have electric cars and bigger, faster planes. I think that life will be easier and people will live longer. We’ll build space stations on other planets, but people won’t live there or anything like that.
4. Complete the dialogue with the words. Listen and check.
