M: What did you say you were going to take up as a career?
W: Law. Actually, I began my studies at Harvard Law School last October.
M: What are you going to do when you finish?
W: Oh, I shall go back home and practice there. I may start with some clerical work, but eventually I’m going to set up my own law office. There’s a great deal of scope for lawyers in my country and a lot of useful work to be done there—people get married and then divorced, people begin to buy their own houses, people feel mistreated by the community or the authority. They need lawyers, do they?
M: What made you decide to take up law as a career?
W: Well, I was good at making a speech at school and I think I had a certain feeling for communication and persuasion. I suppose my personal qualities made me choose law. Of course, in my country lawyers are respected and well-paid.
M: But, will you find it difficult to become recognized in your own country?
W: To a certain extent, yes. But I expect that a woman lawyer also has some advantages in the court. Especially for some kinds of cases, for example, if my client is a woman who claims certain rights from her divorced husband, a woman lawyer can understand better and do a better job.
M: But why have you chosen America for your studies, why not some other country?
W: Ah well, there are lots of reasons. But I’m not sorry because you’ve got some of the best law schools in the world.
