CHOOSING A PROFESSION:
The Gardener
taken from The World of Work Unit 7
p. 71
Hugo Grantchest, 26, has been a gardener and a
tree surgeon for four years. He went to
Oxford University in Oxford, England to study archaeology, but he dropped out (გამოაგდეს)after
just one term. His father, Hector, is a
surveyor and his mother, Geraldine, is an interior designer. In the selection below, Hugo and his mother
are talking about his choice of careers.
Hugo:
When I was 11, we moved to a large Tudor house
in East Anglia which had three acres of garden.
We had a gardener who lived in a little cottage at the end of our
drive. I used to spend hours watching
him work and talking to him. I think I
picked up(ავითვისე)
a lot about gardening without realizing it, because one summer, when I was
still at school, I took a job at a garden centre and I knew all the names of
the plans, and I could give people advice.
Then I went to university and it was a disaster(საშინელი). After a term I told my parents that I was
going to give it up (შეწყვეტა)and
go back to work in the garden centre.
They were furious, we had a terrible row, and they didn’t speak to me
for months. But, I knew it was a waste
of time to carry on studying archaeology, and the moment I started gardening
again, I knew I’d made the right decision.
I’ve enjoyed every moment of the last four years and my parents have
learnt to accept what I do, not only because they see how happy I am, but also
because a lot of my university friends have found it difficult to find good
jobs or have been made redundant.
Sometimes people are quite taken aback when they found out that their
gardener went to university, but I think it makes them respect my opinion more
when I’m helping them plan their gardens.
Hugo’s
Mother:
His father and I were delighted when he went to
Oxford, but when he gave it up so soon we were very, very angry. We thought manual labor was not the career
for our only son. We fell out for
months. Hector refused to allow Hugo
into the house, and we all felt thoroughly miserable. But our daughter told us not to worry because
Hugo would be a millionaire by the time he was forty. Anyway we’ve made it up now we can see how
happy he is, even though he hasn’t become a millionaire yet! Times have changed and all kinds of people do
all kinds of work, and I think the world is a better place for it!
