【對話文本】
CALLUM: I messed around sometimes, just like most kids. But then I usually got down to work in the end!
VICKI: Well, yes, if you want to succeed you have to start doing your work sometime.
CALLUM: So, I got down to work and I'm glad to say I got through all my exams.
VICKI: Well done you! So in the end, you started working, and even though it was hard, you managed to pass your exams, so then what did you do?
CALLUM: Well I went on to university.
VICKI: So after school, you continued your education at university - just like me.
