高中三年级英语(人教版)全一册 Unit 11 Integrating Skills

　　TICKET TO SUCCESS

　　In the final year at high school, Li Yonghong knew that a career at university was not for her. Her parents had not wanted to pay for any other type of education, but had offered her some money to set up a small business to sell cigarettes. However, that was not what she had in mind. Instead, she asked a couple of friends to lend her some money so that she could take a one-year training course to become a hairdresser.

　　Looking back, she congratulates herself on this decision. Soon after completing her course, she found a job in a barbershop. Things went smoothly. As the years went by, she worked in many places, always improving her position and gradually getting more and more experience. She had made herself independent, and was able to manage her finances well. Two years ago, she decided to put that money to good use. She decided to go back to school. This time she decided on a practical course to learn how to do make-up. Once again this proved to be an excellent choice. The combination of being an experienced hairdresser and knowing how to do commercial make-up for brides and bridegrooms made her much in demand.
