B. How to do it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc. Watch it as many times as
necessary and take notes. If there is any word you don’t understand, go to

Sample

I don’t agree with his opinion. I have had many different jobs in my life and
the most important factor has always been money. For money, people get up
earlier, work out harder, and are able to do the impossible. You need money
if you want to take care of your family. When I am looking for a job, I always
think about the salary first. I have had many different jobs where the pay has
been good and the work has been repetitive and monotonous. This is not a
problem for me. I am good at learning anything. I just need the right
incentive. In my case, this incentive is money.
 My script

My point of view with regard to the video is in disagreement, because

we live in a society where we are looking for the way to survive and
one of those means to survive is through some kind of well-paid work.

I think that all human beings have certain reasons that help us to
achieve the goals and objectives in the best possible way, an example,
clear would be the family.

I think that money is a very important factor that many struggle and
sacrifice to obtain, is a determining factor when it comes to develop
certain skills.

Have worked and generally looking for a well paid job.
