Hi Mat,
Sorry I haven’t written sooner but I’m working this summer. When the holiday started, my mum told me I could work in her friend’s restaurant, but I found an online advert for the local public transport company and I applied for this job instead and I got it. The job is quite simple – I travel on the local trains and buses and collect the passengers’ opinions about the service in a questionnaire. Of course, I don’t do that alone. All of us, I mean the teenagers, always travel together with an adult representative of the transport company. I’ve noticed that I prefer trains to buses and the passengers there usually have more positive opinions than those on the buses. Some of the other teenagers work six hours a day, but I only work four. The best thing is I can choose the working hours during each week. I just have to inform the company when I’d like to come into work the next day. I don’t go on the public transport every day. Twice a week I work in the office and enter the passengers’ opinions into the company computer database. This is the most boring part – I never thought I could hate working on a computer! The job isn’t very well-paid but it’s quite interesting and I think it is helping me improve me communication skills. I’m planning to work till the end of July and then in August me and my parents are going to Italy for a two-week holiday.
Write back and tell me how you’re spending the summer.
Cheers,
Ben
