4 Reading
A Read the interview with Jackie Tindall, a successful businesswoman.
Life hasnt always been easy! I know people might look at me now and think Ive got everything but Ive certainly had to work very hard to get where I am today. When I was a child I knew that one day I would have my own company and my parents were great because they always encouraged me to think big. As a child, I always wanted to be top of the class so I worked very hard and didnt go out much with my friends. And, of course, I always tried to organise everyone when we were playing games in the playground! When I was 18, I went to university to do modern languages because they had been my favourite subjects at school. I spent four years studying French and German and then decided to become a flight attendant with an international airline company. I loved every minute of it, although it was hard work and we had some difficult passengers. But I travelled all over the world and saw some fantastic places. I also learned some very important lessons, which help me now. If you are never at home, its impossible to have a family, so after a few years I decided to change careers, get married and have children. At the beginning I ran my business from the living room, which wasnt easy with a husband and two small children. Then when I started to make more money, I found an office and employed a secretary. Now I have 200 employees and both of my children work with me. We really have a family business and I hope that we will continue for many years to come. When people ask me what the secret of success is, I always say that its a mixture of good luck, hard work and positive thinking.

B Mark the statements T (true) or F (false).

1 Jackie has had an easy life. 2 Shes always wanted to be famous. 3 She studied a lot at school. 4 She did French and German because she wanted to be a flight attendant. 5 She enjoyed the job very much. 6 She travelled throughout Europe. 7 She studied while she worked. 8 She gave up the job to start a family. 9 She started her business with her husband. 10 She says the secret of success is a combination of many things.
