Track 4 1
a 
I had a part-time job at the company and I really 
enjoyed it. My boss and my colleagues were 
professional but very friendly. I applied for a 
full-time job in my final year at university and
I got it. The job is well-paid, so I’m earning a 
good salary, and I also travel to lots of different 
countries. It’s an exciting job.
b 
I work as a personal assistant at a very well- 
known company. I love my job. I got my job 
last year. I worked here as a volunteer to get 
work experience. I really enjoyed it so I wrote 
to the company director and asked for a job. I 
use my languages regularly, and I work flexible 
hours.
c 
Two years ago, I worked as a volunteer in a 
hospital because I wanted to help people. I 
went to university, but I worked at the hospital 
each summer. I didn’t want to travel the world, 
so I applied for the job. Now I’m earning a good 
salary, and it’s my dream job!
