A. I live in the country in a small place. Usually it is a very quiet place. But in summer a lot of people from the city come here to relax and ride horses. I want to earn some pocket money and it is not that difficult! I have found a riding school that needs help. They don’t have enough time to take care of their horses. It’s not far from my home. Every morning, before school, I bring fresh water for the animals, feed them and clean the place where they are kept. After school I go there again to check if the animals are OK. Horses are fantastic! Sometimes I think that they understand my every word. I’m quite happy that, along with the money, I’m allowed some free riding lessons.

B. I love dogs. For many years I had a wonderful dog that died not long ago. At the moment I’m not ready yet to get another dog. But as I’m good with dogs I offer to walk other people’s dogs and even train them to obey some simple commands.

If you love dogs, this is the job for you. Many people in big cities commute to their offices and have to leave their dogs at home for the whole day. Also, some elderly people cannot walk their dogs. Why not help them? I work for people working long hours and for elderly people. The important thing to remember is you should never let a dog off the lead¹. You never know what the dog might do. It’s also important to make friends with the dog before you take it out for a walk.

C. Lately I’ve got a job at the local post office. You should know that in Britain there are strict government laws about working hours for children. Only children over 13 are allowed to work. On a school day they cannot work more than 2 hours a day, definitely not during their school hours. At weekends and during school holidays they can work longer hours.

I prefer to work only on holidays and weekends. Of course, it’s not easy. I have to get up early in the morning to deliver newspapers to houses on time. Most people to whom I deliver the mail know me well by now. They are friendly and my morning begins with a smile. My bicycle is of great help to me. I love cycling and enjoy myself while working.

D. Working parents often have to leave their kids with grandparents or babysitters. If you are good with children, responsible and kind, you can earn your pocket money looking after children. It’s not very difficult to play and read fairy tales to small boys and girls, and taking them for a walk may be fun too. I also know that some parents will also pay for a teenager to walk their children safely to and from school. A friend of mine babysits with a little boy who attends a primary school.

I don’t have much free time but sometimes I babysit for my neighbour. The pay is not big but I can buy some new clothes, or whatever I want.
