A HOLIDAY JOB

0

Congratulations on getting your diploma at OM Personal. Your

 

00

parents must be really proud for you. I've got some great news.

 

 

1

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.
