One of my father's friends who has a smaIl travel agency, and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 |
she has been very kindly given me a holiday job. It was |
|
|
|
|
|
|
3 |
difficult in the beginning because I tend to find it very hard to |
|
|
|
|
|
|
4 |
get up in the morning. My boss is very keen on some punctuality, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
5 |
and because I was often late I got into terrible trouble |
|
|
|
|
|
|
6 |
at first. So I make sure of I'm always on time now. I have to |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7 |
work very hard and, although the pay isn't much good, I'm |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8 |
quite enjoying myself so far yet. The main thing I've learnt |
|
|
|
|
|
|
9 |
to do is how to give up detailed information to customers over the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
10 |
phone. Unfortunately, I also have to make the coffee and do other |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11 |
boring things!! Sometimes there's no-one except from me in the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
12 |
office and it gets really busy. I intend to working until the end of |
|
|
|
|
|
|
13 |
the month and then I'm going off on a short holiday by the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14 |
sea, where I just hope I'll manage to relax myself on the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15 |
beach before going back to college in next month. |
