Tại một trại hè quốc tế, Lan đang nói chuyện với Mark và Linda về công việc.
Lan: Thật tuyệt khi có một tuần đầy các hoạt động và chuyến đi khác tại trại hè.
Mark: Ồ, đúng vậy. Mình thích chuyến đi đến trường mẫu giáo nhất. Những đứa trẻ thật đáng yêu và giáo viên thì tuyệt vời. Mình nghĩ mình sẽ là một giáo viên mẫu giáo.
Lan: Thật tuyệt vời. Anh họ của mình làm việc tại một trường mẫu giáo và bọn trẻ thích ở trong lớp của anh ấy. Nhân tiện, bạn muốn trở thành người như thế nào trong tương lai thế Linda?
Linda: Ồ, mình thì luôn muốn trở thành một bác sĩ phẫu thuật, vì vậy mình sẽ đi học trường y. Còn bạn thì sao, Lan?
Lan: Mình á? Ước mơ của mình là trở thành một phi công hàng không. Đó là lý do tại sao mình tập trung vào toán học và vật lý, đồng thời tập thể dục nhiều hơn để cải thiện thể chất của mình.
Linda: Tuyệt đấy! Mình hy vọng ước mơ của bạn sẽ trở thành hiện thực. Ở một số quốc gia, con gái có thể không được phép làm phi công đáu.
Lan: Đúng vậy, Linda. Chúng ta thật may mắn khi được sống ở một quốc gia nơi nam và nữ được khuyến khích làm những công việc mà họ muốn.
Mark: Mình hoàn toàn đồng ý. Con gái không thể cứ bị kìm chân mãi trong nhà ở thế giới ngày nay được. Nam và nữ phải được đối xử bình đẳng và có cơ hội việc làm như nhau.
