Job: Snowboarder and model
Charlotte Dutton has two jobs. Half the year she's a top model in Europe, and the other half she's a professional snowboarder in Canada. Here she talks about the problems of having two careers.
'I love modelling and snowboarding,' she says, 'but I have to be two different people! You need muscles to be a snowboarder, but you have to be slim to be a model. When I'm modelling I can't eat anything fattening. But in the mountains it's freezing, so you have to eat protein, cakes and chocolate. For the jumps and turns, you have to be strong. Snowboarding is sometimes dangerous, and I often fall. But I have to be careful because I can't break my leg and then go to Paris to model the best skirts. It's funny -half the year I have to wear warm baggy clothes and a crash helmet. Then I go to Europe for a season, and I have to wear beautiful designer clothes.'
Does she want to be a top international model or an Olympic snowboarder? The answer is she wants to do both ... but when she's much older, she dreams of living in a bakery and eating cakes all day!
4. Imagine you could do two jobs. Which two jobs would you like to do? Discuss your ideas with a partner.
