Good morning, this is my audio presentation.
My name is Padma and I'm applying for a job this summer.
So first of all let me introduce myself. I was born and bred here in Chicago, and I just love the city! I'm 15 years-old, I'm a high school student and right now I'm in 9th grade at Lincoln Park High School, so that makes me a freshman.
In the future, I'd love to become a doctor and I would also like to travel a lot, and see the world.
At school, I study Math and English, the usual, but I have also chosen to study Spanish as a second language, and I've just started French. I wouldn't say that I'm fluent, but I can carry out a conversation in Spanish, and I can read and understand a bit of French. I have never been abroad, except for a short weekend in Canada.
Concerning my personality, my friends say that I'm dynamic and fun to be with. I get along very well with people, so that would qualify me as sociable. I think I have teamwork skills too because I love working with other people. And I am not afraid of work, and I wouldn't mind working late at night or in the weekends. Also, I am serious and responsible, so you can really trust me!
About my hobbies, I love to play video games and I’m really good at tennis, I've even participated to some tournaments!
About my experience: well, I'm still quite young so I don't have a lot of work experience of course. But I have already worked as a bag girl at a grocery store, for a few days, and I've also worked at my uncle's garage to help with the car washing. I've done a lot of babysitting for my cousins, and also for some neighbours.
So, right now I'm looking for a job for next summer, in or around the North Side of Chicago. I haven't decided on a particular kind of job, but I am thinking of maybe working with kids. I would be happy to be in contact with children and play all sorts of games. But I am ready to accept other types of jobs, to make some money and to learn new skills and discover new jobs.

Norman Rockwell was a famous American painter and illustrator. Many people consider him as the greatest American artist of all time. His works often illustrated ordinary and yet humorous scenes of daily life. They also included portraits of American Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon.

Norman Rockwell was born in New York City on February 3, 1894. When he was a child, Norman sang in the church choir and spent his summers with his family at farms in the country. Country life is a recurrent theme in Norman's paintings.

Rockwell enjoyed drawing at an early age and he decided very soon that he wanted to be an artist. So, at the age of 14, he attended classes at the New York School of Art. He left high school when he was 16 to study art at the National Academy of Design and then at the Art Students League.
While he was still a teenager, Norman became the art director of "Boys' Life", the Boy Scouts of America's publication.

Rockwell, his two brothers, and his parents moved to New Rochelle, New York, when Norman was 21 years old. There, Norman opened a studio and did artwork for several magazines. When he was 22, he painted his first cover for "The Saturday Evening Post". Norman considered this magazine as "the greatest show window in America." During the next 47 years, he painted over 300 covers for "The Post". Some of Norman’s illustrations were also used during WWII to collect money.

In 1916 Norman Rockwell married Irene O'Connor, a schoolteacher, but the couple divorced in 1930. That same year, Norman Rockwell married Mary Barstow, a school teacher. They had three sons. In 1939 the family moved to a farm in Arlington, Vermont.
In 1943, Norman’s studio was destroyed by fire. Norman lost many paintings and his collection of historical costumes.

Norman and his family moved to Stockbridge, Massachusetts in 1953. In the summer of 1959, his wife Mary died of a heart attack. Norman took some time off and wrote his autobiography.
In 1961 he married Molly Punderson, a retired schoolteacher.

Rockwell spent the last 10 years of his career painting about civil rights, poverty, and space exploration for "Look" magazine.
In 1977, Norman Rockwell received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honour. He died at his home in Stockbridge on November 8, 1978, when he was 84.

We have three TVs in our house - one in the living room, one in the kitchen, and one in our bedroom. But we mainly just watch the one in the living room. I have a friend who doesn't have a TV. In fact, he doesn't even have a radio. He says he prefers to read everything in the newspaper.
I have five national channels. I don't have satellite or cable TV. The channel I watch most is Channel 4 because I think it has the most interesting programmes. I don't watch any foreign channels although I would like to have Spanish TV, because I would like to be able to practise my Spanish. I don't watch as much TV as I used to. I normally watch one hour every evening on weekdays. I hardly watch any TV at the weekend. There are always more interesting things to do.
