Model answers:
1 I’m a nurse. I work in a hospital near my home.
2 Yes, I enjoy my work. My job is great because I 
help people every day.
3 No, I don’t think so. Maybe I can train as a 
chef because I like cooking.
4 I work for a private hospital. It is very well- 
known in my country. It is a friendly place to 
work. We get lots of training and we can work 
flexible hours. It’s a good company.
5 Well, I work different shifts so I start work at 
different times. I get to the hospital and I talk to 
the other nurses about what we have to do that 
day. Then we visit all the patients and help them.
I 
prepare food and medicine for the doctors.
