Mary, Andrea, Alice, George and Robert are friends. Today, they talk to us about their jobs. Let’s see what they have to say:

Mary: I am a doctor, a pediatrician actually. I like children very much and I have always wanted to become a doctor. My job implies a lot of responsibility, but it’s very nice to cure the most delicate human beings: children.

Andrea: I have been an accountant for five years. I like my job and working with numbers. But let’s leave Alice to talk about her job as well.

Alice: Hello, everybody! My name is Alice and I am a secretary at an online sales company. I talk a lot on the phone and I use the computer every day. I always meet new people and I have to speak a lot in English as we have many foreign customers. I like what I do and I don’t want to change my job.

George: I’m George and I am a math teacher. I work at a theoretical high school in London. I’m passionate about my job.

Robert: I am a clerk, and I work with the public just as Alice. I often meet very difficult people and what I do is not easy, but now it’s been ten years since I work in this office and I am used to it. What do you do?
