Dialogue with a farmer

Hello, my name is Linda and today I'll try to talk about a topic which is less questioned, which is the difference between the jobs people used to do before and now.
In our modern times, there is no place for ( traditional jobs) like Shepherd or farmer, those works which made and cared the first materials to produce food. If you ask most youngsters what they'll want to do in the future they will probably tell you: a singer, and actor or a business man but few of them will tell you their dreams is to be a shepherd and carry the animals in the field.
Linda: what do you think Mr. Collins, when you were young did you want to be a farmer?
Mr. Collins: yes, sure. Actually all my family worked in the field, it became an old tradition. It was clear for me to be a farmer, I didn't have to choose or think a bout any other job.
Linda: but if your family was from the city and your father a lawyer would you work as a farmer?
Mr. Collins: well, I have to admit that I would probably make another thing.
Linda: so your family and the place you grew-up influenced your future, right?
Mr. Collins: yes, but anyway in my time being a farmer was a very important job, because without our work people couldn't have food.
Linda: do you think that the technology put this kind of jobs as an old and not trendy work?
Mr. Collins: Oh yes, I think that since technology appeared and helped to have a better life, people emigrate from the field to the city to work in the industry. And a lot of other jobs have appeared one after the other letting the most basic ones in the last position.
Linda: but this technology has also helped you to increase your production and make it better and healthier.
Mr. Collins: that's sure, as you know for my parents the work in the farm was very hard, they didn't have the tools and materials that we own now.
Linda: so we can consider that technology has been a good factor to progress in all the fields of life. And also our way of thinking.
