1 My name’s Jane. I’m a vet – an animal doctor. I get to work in London at eight o’clock every morning, from Monday to Friday. Sometimes I work all night. People love animals so my job is very important. It’s hard work, but I love it.

2 Hi, I’m Linda and this is Dave. I’m a singer in New York – Dave is a guitarist. We don’t work in the week. On Friday and Saturday nights we play in a bar until twelve o’clock. Then we go to a nightclub where we work until three or four in the morning. We always get up very late. Dave is very happy but I don’t really like my job now, because there’s a lot of smoke in the bars.

3 My name’s Will and I’m a night watchman in the Irish Museum of Modern Art. I work from Monday to Thursday – my job is to protect the museum. I sleep in the day and work all night. I just walk around the museum and look in all the rooms. It’s very boring – I just watch and listen.

4 My name’s Agatha. I have a very exciting and interesting job. I work in a detective agency in Paris. I work at different times on different days – sometimes I get up early, sometimes I get up late.
