Lori Nelson likes her job. She is a banker, so she helps people with their money every day. Every day, Ms.
Nelson gets up at 7:00. She takes a shower and has breakfast. Then she takes a train into the city. At the bank,
Ms. Nelson goes to one or two meetings every day. That’s because she is a manager at the bank, so she makes
a lot of important decisions. She also meets clients every day. The clients are the bank’s customers, so they
are very important to Ms. Nelson. In the afternoon, Ms. Nelson checks her e-mail one more time. Then she
takes a train home.
Peter Engel doesn’t like some parts of his job. He is a chef at a restaurant, so every day he buys food for the
restaurant. Then he cooks lunch and dinner for the customers. Mr. Engel likes those parts of his job, but he is
also the head of the kitchen. He doesn’t like to teach the other cooks. And when cooks aren’t doing the job
well enough, Mr. Engel must tell them to leave the restaurant. Then the cooks don’t have a job, and Mr. Engel
feels bad. Luckily, most cooks do the job pretty well, so they can keep their job for a long time.
