FAMILY LIFE

Dear readers of "Family Life"!

I'm writing to ask you for advice on a private but very important matter.

My daughter is completing her school education and naturally

the whole family are involved in the discussion about her future

career. Yesterday my daughter said that she had made her choice

and she would be a tube train driver. It sounds so weird to me!

Traditionally only boys could be train drivers, and I can’t imagine my

delicate girl doing a job like that! What arguments should I use to talk

her out of it? Or should I accept her choice and not intervene in her

life? Grateful for any comments from you.

Yours,

Sophie Chester

Read Sophie's letter to the local magazine and give her some advice. Explain your reasons.
