24、ng an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants 19 life and how hard he is willing to work to get it.

44、Shakespeares birthplace and the other sights.The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly dislike the RSCs actors, them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. Its all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, wh
45、o earns their living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise-making.The tourist streams are not entirely separate.

However, the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their playgoing. It is the playgoers, the R
