If your chosen career requires skills or experience you lack, don’t despair. There are many ways to gain needed skills. While learning, you’ll also have an opportunity to find out whether you truly enjoy your chosen career and also make connections that could lead to your dream job. So, take classes. Some careers require specific education or skills, such as an educational degree or specific training. Many fields have accelerated programmes if you already have some education, or you may be able to do night classes or part-time schooling so that you can continue to work.

I'm sorry. ... for a long time?

Nice to meet you. I ... you for a long time.

My eyes hurt a bit because I ... this book for over two hours.

Somebody ... my cookies. There are none left.

How long ... Laura?
