I. Read the article about people who work at Heathrow airport and tick (✓) A,
B, or C.

Airport jobs
At Heathrow airport, there are hundreds of interesting jobs people can do. We
spoke to three people who work there.
James Green, 26, security officer
‘After I left college, I worked for a security company abroad. I wanted to come
back to the UK so I applied for a job as a security officer at Heathrow. It’s our job
to keep passengers and staff safe at all times. I meet passengers from all over the
world every day and help them with their problems. People are usually friendly,
but sometimes they get angry, especially if there are long queues or delays.’
Teresa Jones, 30, service manager
‘My job is to help passengers have a good journey through the airport terminal,
from Arrivals to Departures. I talk to people all day and I’m tired in the evening.
But it’s also very exciting, because it changes all the time. One minute you are
making new travel arrangements for passengers, and the next minute you are
dealing with a problem at passport control. The only bad thing about my job is
getting up very early.’
Husain Khaled, 35, terminal controller
‘My first job at the airport was as a security officer. After that, I did a lot of
different jobs here. When I saw a job for a terminal controller, I decided to apply.
I like doing this work because there are all kinds of things to deal with – security,
communication, safety, and so on. It can be very busy and I spend a lot of time
talking to people on my mobile, but it’s always interesting.’

Example:James meets passengers from all over _____.

A the UK  B the world  C Asia 

1 It is James job to keep _____.
