an actor an
au pair a factory worker a vet a waiter
2) Read
the article: Nightmare jobs
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. Now I
don'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 on 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 conveyor 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 disgusting -I've never
eaten an egg since then.
Polly: a vet
What's the worst thing
that has 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 various
jobs when I was a student.
One summer I did
fruit-picking in France, Spain and Greece.
What's the worst job
you've ever done?
I worked as an au pair
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 waiter in an Italian
restaurant.
