PROBLEM: ;,F: Amelia, what in particular do you have to do as a wedding planner? M;,F: I make most of the big decisions with the exception of more personal ones, such as what the bride will wear or who will be invited. I also booked the venue and the photographer. M;,F: So, do people ask you to organize their weddings to save money? M;,F: Well, I reduce some of the costs. But they have to pay my fee, so it works out about the same. In most cases, they are simply too busy to do it without assistance. M;,F: Tell me, what made you want to become a wedding planner? M;,F: In my case, it was after I'd been doing some voluntary work for a non-profit organization. Others come into wedding planning through different routes, such as restaurant management or providing meals for open air events. M;,F: So how could someone find work in this type of business? M;,F: Well, some companies offer courses, or you can provide written references from past clients. But in my case, people were impressed by shot of beautiful weddings planned and run by me.

PROBLEM: M: I'm talking to Jackie Gold, who is a very proud mother. Her daughter Olyvia, appeared on the stage of London Palladium Theater in the musical, the Sound of Music last month. So how did it all come about? ,F: Well, until last year, the idea of her appearing at the London Palladium would have been unthinkable for our family. Things started to happen when Olivia got the leading role for the show Annie at the local theater. For Annie, Olivia had to learn more than 200 lines. She was on stage from most of the 2 hours show. I decided that we do 10 pages a night. After memorizing it, I gave her a line and she would have to tell me what the next line was. She picked it all up even better than her homework.
(A) M: Just a minute! I do not quite follow what you are saying, would you mind repeating that? (B) M: Wow, she got the role for Annie at the local theater seven years ago, but she had to learn more than 200 lines for Annie, right?
