WORKING FOR AN AIRLINE
Nicola Peet left school at eighteen, went to college and then worked at a local airport. After nine months, she went to work for Saudi Arabian Airlines and then joined British Airways as an air hostess. Four years later, she got her present job as a manager.
This is what she told us about her job: ‘My office is at Heathrow Airport, but I spend 60% of my time in the air. I teach air hostesses and help them with any problems. I also go to lots of meetings.
My hours are usually from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. but sometimes I work from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. At work, the first thing I do is check plane times on my computer and then I speak with some of the air hostesses.
Sometimes I go on long flights to check how the air hostesses are doing. That’s my favourite part of the job, but I like office work, too. Travelling can be hard work. When I get back from a long journey, all I can do is eat something and then go to bed! I don’t earn much money, but I’m happy with British Airways and want to stay there and continue to travel.’
The Ruwenzori Mountains
Read the article about a working holiday. Choose the best word (A, B or C) for each space.
THE RUWENZORI MOUNTAINS
Mary Daniels is a student in England. She had a very interesting summer holiday. She travelled [28] fifteen other people to the Ruwenzori Mountains in Africa. They went there to help make a road [29] a forest between two big towns.
‘It was very difficult [30] we had to walk a long way for water and there were no shops where we [31] buy food,’ said Mary. ‘It was also very cold and wet in the mountains. It is [32] of the wettest places in the world.’
Mary stayed in the mountains [33] six weeks. It was hard work, but she says it was the [34] thing she has ever [35]. She is hoping to return next year to do some more work there.

Dear Sir,
Yesterday I returned from Paris. When I got my suitcase back at the airport it was broken and there was oil on my clothes. I should like some money for a new suitcase and some new clothes.
