Transcript Me llamo Celeste, soy de Lima, Perú, tengo 20 años y estoy estudiando psicología en la universidad de Lima. Llevo ya estudiando tres años y me faltan tres años más. Elegí psicología porque me parece que es una carrera súperinteresante, me parece súperimportante saber cómo la mente funciona, por qué la gente actúa de tal manera, por qué hace otras cosas. Mi carrera dura seis años y en los dos últimos años tengo que elegir mi especialización. Me voy a especializar en recursos humanos donde tengo que ver cómo va la compañía, tengo que contratar gente y ver si todo va bien. Mi trabajo soñado es trabajar en una aerolínea, donde pueda ver a los pasajeros, si está todo bien, si están de acuerdo con la aerolínea, pues si hay algo malo … además que me encanta viajar, me encanta conocer diferentes lugares así que me parece la perfecta opción para un trabajo. © www.teachitlanguages.co.uk 2014 22424 Page 4 of 4
