| Teacher | Uill, a Sheonag. Am bu toigh leat a bhith nad chunntasair nuair a dh’fhàgas tu an sgoil? | Well, Joan. Would you like to be an accountant when you leave school? |
| Seonag | ’S dòcha. ’S dòcha gum bi mi nam chunntasair, no ’s dòcha gum bi mi nam bhancair. Bu toigh leam a bhith beairteach co-dhiù. | Maybe. I might be an accountant, or maybe I’ll be a banker. I’d like to be rich anyway. |
| Teacher | Dè mu do dheidhinn-sa Tònaidh? Leigheasachd, e? A bheil thu airson a bhith nad nurs nuair a dh’fhàgas tu an sgoil? | What about you, Toni? Medicine, eh? Do you want to be a nurse when you leave school? |
| Toni | Chan eil. Tha mi airson a bhith nam dhotair. | No. I want to be a doctor. |
| Teacher | Glè mhath. Ach feumaidh tu obair mhòr a dhèanamh mus bi thu nad dhotair. | Very good. But you have to work hard if you want to be a doctor. |
| Ross | Sin an leabhar a bha mise a’ lorg. | That’s the book that I was looking for. |
| Teacher | Ross, gabh air do shocair! A bheil ùidh agadsa ann an leigheasachd cuideachd? Am bu toigh leat a bhith nad dhotair? | Ross, take it easy! Are you interested in medicine too? Would you like to be a doctor? |
| Ross | Bu toil. | Yes. |
| Teacher | Tha fhios gu bheil leabhraichean gu leòr againn air leigheasachd. Trobhad gus am faic sinn. | I’m sure that we have plenty of books about medicine. Come and we will see. |
| Teacher | Tha seo glè mhath, Fiona. | This is very good, Fiona. |
| Fiona | Tapadh leibh. | Thank you. |
| Teacher | A bheil ùidh agad ann an ealain? | Are you interested in art? |
| Fiona | Tha. Bu toigh leam a bhith nam pheantair nuair a dh’fhàgas mi an sgoil. | Yes. I’d like to be a painter when I leave school. |
| Teacher | ’S dè tha dol an seo? E? Mo chreach ’s a thàinig. Càr rèisidh a-rithist. A bheil ùidh agad ann an rud sam bith ach càraichean rèisidh, Philip? | And what’s going on here? Eh? Oh my goodness. A racing car again. Aren’t you interested in anything else but racing cars, Philip? |
| Philip | Chan eil. Tha mi airson càr rèisidh a dhràibheadh nuair a dh’fhàgas mi an sgoil. | No. I want to drive a racing car when I leave school. |
| Teacher | Agus thusa a Dhòmhnaill. Tha thusa airson a bhith nad shaighdear nuair a dh’fhàgas tu an sgoil, a bheil? | And you Donald. You want to be a soldier when you leave school, do you? |
| Dòmhnall | Tha. | Yes. |
