Rending Comprehension Test Read the texts about unusual jobs the three people are talking about
Speaker 1. I've been doing my job for so long. There are not so many lighthouses anymore,
everything's so modern and advanced these days, it's all radar and GPS, But lighthouses are still
very important in certain areas and my job is to clenn the lights and make sure the glass in front of
the lights is clean and smooth. My job is not dangerous because we do the cleaning and maintenance
during the day and only when the weather is good, I've seen some very bad storms though, Five
years ago, I was trapped on a small island in Whales for two days while we waited for a storm to
pass. Even though my job is very unglamorous, I've met a few famous people. One old football
player owns a lighthouse in Northern Ireland and he told me stories about famous games while I was
working. And last year, the Queen was there when an old lighthouse that had been renovated was
reopened, and we spoke about my work for a few minutes.
Speaker 2. I am a flying doctor. I don't have wings, but we have a small plane to reach patients who
may be hundreds of kilometers away, Flying in the plane is almost the most exciting part of my
work. We fly quite law and the Australian scenery is spectacular, Australia is a very big country and
away from the coasts, there is a lot of space and very few people: your neighbour might live on a
cattle station fifty kilometers away. If you get sick it is easier for us to fly to you. Just in the last
year, I've delivered seven babies and I've collected three people and taken them for life saving
operations. I've even helped one of Australia's most famous Children's novelists to have a liver
transplant. I also can diagnose people using the telephone or a web Camera. Australia is a huge
country and it isn't getting smaller so I think there will always be a place for us.
Speaker 3. I've had a lot of unusual jobs in my life. I've made candles at home in the shape of
Eiffel Tower, I've sold cat and dog food over the phone and I've even done the job where people
paid me to wait in a queue! Now in my current job, I'm a mystery bad customer. My job is go
into stores or restaurants to complain and to see the staff treats me. Companies pay me to do this
because they want to know that all customers are treated well! Actually, it's a lot of fun: more acting
than working! I've complained about how dirty the tables were in a London pub I've sent sushi back
to the kitchen because it was "undercooked and, last month, the manager of a shoe in Cambridge
called the police because I asked to buy two left shoes! My job is never boring!
