4. If you work answer these questions.

A. What do you do? What are you in charge of? What are your responsibilities?
(Sample Answer)
I’m a pilot for a regional airline. I’m in charge of flying small planes (30 passengers) on
short flights. My main responsibility is for the safety of the passengers, of course. My
other responsibilities include leaving and arriving on time, and not using too much fuel.
B. What time do you leave for work? How long does it take you to get to work? What time do
you arrive at work? Do you take a lot of time off work?
(Sample Answer)
I usually leave home at 4.30 in the morning. The first flight is at 6 and I usually arrive at
the airport at 5. I don’t take a lot of time off work - I like flying too much!
C. Why do some people prefer to work part-time or to have temporary jobs?
(Sample Answer)
Some people prefer to work part-time because they have children to look after, or because
they have other things that interest them. Some people like temporary jobs because they
don’t want to work for the same organization all the time. Other people like them because
they want to take regular breaks so that they can travel, for example.
