2. Why? Because I love it! That’s why. I really think that creating art is _______________ in the world. So I really love being part of the visual and performing arts. So doing what I love and getting paid for it? Yeah, _______________!

3. Do I get along with my colleagues? I absolutely do. You know, as you may have guessed, I’m pretty _______________, so I like to make friends and I make friends easily. So I assume that my colleagues are my friends, and _______________ with them pretty well, _______________ in a friendly way, learn about their lives, and what’s going on, and so I do get along with my colleagues.

4. If I had the chance to change my job, would I?
