1 ABC News is interviewing Victor Adams about his job. Read the interview and answer the
questions.

An Interesting Job
Interviewer: Hi, Victor. We’ve heard that you’ve got a very interesting job. Can you tell us
about it?
Victor: Well, I work for a snack company. I’ve been there for three years and I love
it.
5 Interviewer: Sounds like fun! What exactly do you do?
Victor: My job is to create original sweet snacks. I think of ideas for new snacks and
then I test them. It’s great. My work day is from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm and
during that time, I try about 14 different kinds of chocolates and sweets to
make sure they are just right. That’s the fun part of my job.
10 Interviewer: So what isn’t fun?
Victor: Well, when I’m not tasting food, I’m in the office on the phone. Also, the
company’s busiest time is during the holidays because during holiday time,
people have parties and buy snacks. So when people are out enjoying
themselves, I’m usually at work.
15 Interviewer: That’s a shame. But do you ever get tired of eating chocolate and sweets?
Victor: No, so far I haven’t. I’m just happy knowing I’m creating something people
enjoy.
Interviewer: Well, thank you for talking to us and for making things we enjoy eating.
