📖 Reading

My name is Anna. I want to tell you about jobs in my family. We are all very different, but we love our jobs! My dad is a bus driver. He starts work at six o'clock in the morning. He drives a big yellow bus in our city. Every day, he sees many people. He is friendly and he always says, 'Good morning!' to the passengers. My mom is a teacher. She works at a small school near our house. She teaches children how to read and write. Her students are seven years old. My mom loves her job because the children are funny and kind. My brother Tom is a chef. He works in a restaurant in the city center. He cooks pizza and pasta. He can make ten different kinds of pizza! Tom starts work at eleven o'clock and finishes at ten at night. It is hard work, but he is happy. I am a student, but I have a small job too. On Saturdays, I help at my aunt's flower shop. I sell flowers to customers and I water the plants. There are always beautiful colors in the shop. I like my job very much!
