Making lnferences from Descriptions


EXERCISE 5
ln each off these paragaphs, someone is talking about his or her job without stating what the job is.
Working with another student, lnfer what the job is an write it below. Then underline the words or
phrases that helped you guess.

1. "The minute you climb in, you start feeling excited. There's nothing so exciting for
me, not even a jet plane. You get in and start up and off you go. And then you've got to pay
attention every minute. There's always someone doing something crazy who's likely to end
up under your wheels. I sometimes think it's a miracle if I can get all the way there with no
accidents. You've always got to be thinking ahead. That's hard when you have to keep going
for so many hours alone. There's a lot of people in this job who have stomach problems from
the tension. They lose their hearing too, because of the noise. You’ve got to be tough on this
job, you know."
Job: truck driver

2. “My day starts at four o’clock in the morning. That's when my feet hit the floor. I'm
at work at five-thirty, and I finish at two in the afternoon. In between i do a lot of walking. I
wear out a lot of shoes each year-maybe four or five pairs. And my poor feet, at the end of
the day they're really hurting. The other problem is the dogs. Sometimes you can make
friends with them and they'll follow you around. But other times, they can be mean. I've
been bitten a couple of times. I can't say as I care much for dogs anymore. But it's not all
bad, my job. One thing I like is the way you meet a lot of people. You learn all about their
private lives, too. It never gets boring."
Job: postman

3. "The most important thing is to understand people. You've got to know what they're
thinking. If you can figure that out, you can get them to do anything. They come in with an
idea about what they want. You get them talking about themselves, about what they like. If
it's a man, you talk about baseball, or something like that. If it's a woman, you ask her about
fashions. That way they get comfortable with you. You ask them a lot of questions and get
them saying yes. Then they just get into the habit of saying yes. In the end, you can put them
into anything you want, if you're really good. They need a little car for the city you send
them home with a truck. Of course, I wouldn't really do that. It wouldn't be right. You've got
to sell on this job, but you also have to be fair. lt's not fair to take advantage of people too
much. There are sonre people in this business who'd do anything. But i don't believe in
that."
Job: car’s sales
