Part 3 ReadingandWriting(第三部分读写)
 Sally: an animal doctor What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job? Probably the dog that bit me. It wasn’t a big one - I don’t mind the big ones. The small ones are the worst. It gave me a very nasty bite. Have you ever done any other jobs? Yes, I did different kinds of jobs when I was a student. One summer I did fruit-picking in Spain. What’s the worst job you’ve ever done? In order to improve my English, I worked for a rich family in New York. I never had a day off and I had to do everything – cooking, cleaning, shopping- and look after their horrible children. I left after two weeks and managed to get a job as a waitress in an Italian restaurant.  Leo: an actor What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job? So many bad things have happened-but I think my worst moment was when I read my first bad review in the newspaper. They wrote terrible things about me, and I was so upset. After that I didn’t read my reviews any more. Have you ever done any other jobs? Oh yes, it’s hard to make a living as an actor. So I’ve done lots of part-time jobs over the years. For example, I’ve worked in a shop, sold ice cream at the beach and handed out publicity flyers in the street. What’s the worst job you’ve ever done? The worst job I’ve ever done was at an egg-packing factory. Working conditions are terrible-you stand for hours at the end of a belt, putting eggs into boxes. You can’t have a break, and if you want to go to the toilet, you have to ask for permission. And worst of all, the smell was terrible- I’ve never eaten an egg since then. |
