“How old are you?”he looked down at _______.

“Fifteen,” I said.

“And you want a job in radio?” Shouldn’t you be _______?”he asked.

How could I explain? I’ve always _______ the radio. When I was four or five years old, I remember sitting close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes, and the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking to me in person. _______ the age of nine, I asked for jobs in small radio stations.

As I grew older, my _______ in radio grew. One day I learned about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favoutite music from my father’s computer to the listeners, talked about life at school, and then closed down and did my homework.

Soon my friends at junior high school started to listen, and then they wanted to _______. We prepared the weekly programmes, articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report.

“OK, _______ with me,” the WXBN manager said, I followed him into the studio. Then I sat down in front of a microphone. He was in another room, behind the glass wall.

“OK, let’s do a second check. Just tell me _______ you had for breakfast.”

All radio presenters begin work with the same _______.

“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”

“OK, that’s great,” the man behind the glass said.
