You’re such a lovely lad andthese days footballers seem to be nothingmore than a bunch of irresponsible youngmen with more money than sense.

When yourgrandad and I were young, footballers weresuch good, honest people who did useful, fulltime jobs and then played for fun. Some ofthem used to do an early morning shift in themine before turning up to play in theafternoon!I know it looks glamorous but don’t you thinkbeing a footballer would be quite boring andrepetitive? Every day, getting up to playfootball in the morning and exercise in thegymnasium? Then you would have to play atevenings and weekends.

I can’t see it will begood for your personal development. On topof that, I doubt your colleagues would befriendly and you’d have to spend so muchtime travelling to games all over the country.And all that foreign travel? Very stressful.Also, earning that much money, you will neverfind yourself a nice girl to settle down with.You’ll be followed by people who just wantyou for your wallet.Both your grandad and your dad have goodjobs. I’m sure you would be well suited toeither. Your grandad’s lorry driving isrewarding and flexible. Every time he sets off,he’s doing some good for our society – don’tforget most of that food on your table hasarrived by road.

He gets regular bonuses,flexible hours and lots of opportunities forforeign travel but only if he wants it. He’sbeen all over Europe – in fact, he’s in Franceat the moment!And then there’s your dad. He has made agood career of being an accountant. That’s achallenging and satisfying type of job. He hasa pleasant working environment, a goodpension and excellent opportunities forpromotion. On top of that he gets a companycar! What a perk! I know sometimes he doesjobs where he doesn’t get home until late atnight but you can live with that when you’reworking for a prestigious company.Anyway, whatever you decide to do, love, I’msure you’ll make us proud.

But be careful.Love, Granny xxx1 Read the letter to William from his grandmother and answer the followingquestions.1Did Will’s granny write to him by email?

(‘It must be strange for you to receive a letter on paper’)2Will is probably about 15 (‘when you reach school-leaver age next year’ – childrencan leave school at 16 in the UK).3The year before children can leave school, they are usually given careers advice inschool. This is to help them make decisions about what they want to do in the future.4No. She seems to have only negative things to say about modern footballers (e.g.‘nothing more than a bunch of irresponsible young men with more money thansense’).5No.

She says they have ‘more money than sense’ which means that they have a lotof money and are careless and irresponsible with it.6No. Although she talks about travelling as a lorry driver in a positive light, she isnegative about the travelling for footballers (‘you’d have to spend so much timetravelling to games all over England. And all that foreign travel? Very stressful’ – bysaying ‘you’d have to’ she is implying that he would have no choice).7Yes, probably.
