2. Rita's career plans

Lately, Rita's been talking alot about what she wants to be when she is older. Previously, she has told us that she wants to be a doctor. So I've been encouraging that choice ... I was surprised the other day when she told me that she wanted to be an artist. So she explained the following ...

"When I am 30 I will be a doctor. When I am 20 I want to be an artist. When I am 10 I want to be a surfer."

I can live with these plans.


3. What would you do with $100? (school project)

"I what to go shopping with one hundred-dollars I will byw a dog I will take him home. I will have fun with him and I love my dog I have fun with my dog"
