Reading: «Jobs»
24 marzo, 2021 por María del Pilar Zamora Lara

Hello, 

Here is the reading we did in class: 

 

 

 

Read the texts about different jobs and match sentences A−G to paragraphs 1−5. There is one sentence you do not need. 0 is the example.

 

Jobs

0    I greet customers and help them to manage their money. The pay is quite good, but I sometimes get bored. I have to sit down a lot and I often have to do the same thing many times a day.

 

1    I sit near the entrance to my office building, so I know most people who work for the company. I answer the telephone and transfer phone calls to the employee’s offices. I greet visitors and I also send out important emails, letters, and faxes. I’m always busy, but I prefer that.

 

2    I love going around talking to everyone and making sure that they have everything they need. When someone’s ill, it’s important to listen to them. They may feel frightened or lonely being away from home in a strange environment. It’s my job to take care of them and make their stay as comfortable as possible. I like everything about my job except the uniform – it’s just so unattractive!

 

3    In my job, every day is different. One day I might interview a politician in London and the next day I might be flying overnight to cover a story in Beijing. I spend a lot of time travelling, so I do most of my work on my laptop. I carry my camera everywhere – a good photograph can really help to get my message across. I’m rarely at home, but that’s OK. My work is my life!

 

4    Some nights, I hardly have time to grab a drink of water during my six-hour shift. It’s busy, it’s crowded and it’s very, very hot! But it’s worth it when a customer says how much they enjoyed their meal. And no one ever refuses an invitation to a dinner party at my house!

 

5    I often work a ten-hour shift, especially at peak times like Christmas and New Year. I don’t mind driving at night, in fact I like it. The city looks different at different times of the day, and I find that really interesting. I usually try to have a conversation with every customer I pick up. It makes the time pass more quickly.

 

A This person works from home.  
B This person often has to work on public holidays.  
C This person works in a bank.  0
D This person does not like their work uniform.  
E This person enjoys having a lot to do at work.  
F This person sometimes meets important people through their job.  
G This person’s place of work is full of people.  

 

Answer key

A – B 5 C 0 D 2 E 1 F 3 G 4
