My name is Alan Bowinski, and I’m an orchestra director. I work in theatres or concert halls. I move my arms and hands. In this way I help musicians with the music. I like my job, but it’s not easy. Sometimes I lose 2 kilos at a concert.

My name is Tom Rowling, and I’m a janitor. I work at a school. I open and close the classrooms, clean the board or fix CD players or computers. I like my job and the kids. Sometimes, I help them with their homework or help them prepare for a test.

My name is Melody Braze, and I’m a detective. Some people say it’s a dangerous job and that it’s not for a woman, but this is not true. I usually work in the offi ce or in the street. I help people in trouble or look for lost people and sometimes for lost pets. Do I carry a gun? No, I don’t need one. For me, the computer and a camera are more important.

My name is Ana Laponen, and I drive Formula 1 racing cars. I’m the only woman in my team, but the boys are great. They’re very kind and help me when I’ve a problem on the road. I like fast racing cars, but when I’m not racing. I’m a very careful driver and never drive too fast.
