A-    Ironwork is a trade that is still handed down from father to son. Many
of today’s iron workers are descendants of the men who built New York’s
first skyscrapers. My great-grandfather came over from Ireland in 1930 to
work on the construction of the Empire State Building. My father and
grandfather were also ironworkers.

B-    To me, ironworkers are the kings of construction. We make the
skeleton that the other workers build on. We have real pride in our work -
you look at the New York skyline and think ‘I helped build that’. Also, we
work hard, we play hard. We get along well together. We ironworkers
depend on each other for our lives. Oh, and the pay is good!

C-    You never stop in this job. Eight hours a day, from seven in the
morning until three in the afternoon. You’re moving all the time. The crane
lifts the iron girders and you have to move them into place. There’s always
danger. It’s a fact of life for us.

D-    Yes, one big one -physical health. The wear and tear to the body is
enormous. I’ve fallen three times. My father fell two stories, lost a finger,
and broke his ankles.

E-    I’d like to work on something real important like my great-grandfather


did. Or like my father did, who helped build the World Trade Center. It’s
weird -he helped build it and I helped take it away.

F-    You need to be strong, really strong. You have to be OK with height. It
usually takes about a year to get used to it. You can’t work and hold on
with one hand all the time. Many guys try it once, then back off and say,
“This is not for me”.

1.    Have you made any sacrifices to do this job? D

2.    What do you like most about it? B

3.    What advice would you give to someone who wanted to do your job?
F

4.    What would you like to do next? E

5.    How did you get the job? A

6.    What’s an average day like? C

Part B

Read the article again and decide if the following sentences are True
or False.

1.    Every son of an ironworker will do the same job. True

2.    Ironworkers sometimes play at work. False

3.    Michael has had some accidents at work. True

4.    A person’s height is important for this job. False
