  1. Lena

    Markus, have you looked at that work-experience form yet? It's due after the holidays and I've been staring at mine all week.

  2. Markus

    Barely. What are you thinking of putting down?

  3. Lena

    Something with animals, maybe. A vet's surgery or a rescue centre. I always end up walking the neighbours' dogs, and I genuinely enjoy it.

  4. Markus

    That's a solid starting point. What's holding you back, then?

  5. Lena

    Honestly, I'm not sure I'd cope with the sad bits – sick animals, all that. And the science side worries me a bit. I'm finding chemistry quite hard right now.

  6. Markus

    Fair enough. But you don't have to become a vet to work with animals, right? You could ask what the day-to-day tasks actually involve – and whether you'd have someone supervising.

  7. Lena

    Yeah, that's what I keep telling myself. What about you – any ideas?

  8. Markus

    I really enjoy editing videos, and I'm good at getting the pacing right. But I've no idea what you'd actually do day to day in a media company.

  9. Lena

    So you're not sure what the work would actually be like?

  10. Markus

    Exactly. Editing in my room is one thing. But what if you're stuck at a desk doing the same thing all day? That'd feel completely different.

  11. Lena

    I get that. Look, the placement list goes up on Thursday. Want to go through it together after last period?

  12. Markus

    Yeah, alright. I've been putting it off, to be honest.

  13. Lena

    Same. Instead of just picking the first thing that sounds okay, we could compare what tasks each placement involves.

  14. Markus

    Good shout. And maybe we could ask Ms Berger what a typical first day looks like for a couple of them.

  15. Lena

    Yes, that'd actually help. Right – Thursday after last period, then.

  16. Markus

    Deal. Thanks, Lena. Having an actual plan beats staring at a blank form.

  17. Lena

    Tell me about it. See you Thursday.
