Nice work if you can get it ...

Perspectives talks to two people with unusual jobs ...

Pete, 22

Elisa, 23

a I'm the resident DJ at The Cube – the best club in Wales. Come and see for yourself. We're open Fridays and Saturdays from 11 p.m. till late.	a I'm a fitness instructor on a cruise ship. We sail all round the world. This time last week we were in the Caribbean, and now we're off to Asia.
b I never really looked for a job as a DJ – it was just a hobby. I used to love hip-hop music, so I started DJ-ing at friends' parties. At one party there was a girl who was working at The Cube. They asked me to do an audition and that's how I got the job.	b I used to have a part-time job teaching aerobics. But I always wanted to travel, so when I saw they were looking for someone to teach yoga and aerobics on a ship, I applied for the job and got it!
c I don't work every day, but when I work, I work hard. I play here two evenings a week and I do private parties too. My friends say I'm lucky because I don't work nine to five. But I do – the thing is I work from nine in the evening to five in the morning!	c I work incredibly hard. Believe it or not, I sometimes work fourteen hours a day! But I can take a break occasionally, and I get a few days off for sightseeing, which is great.
d The money's not great – I make about 50 pounds a night and most of that goes on buying new music. But I can't complain. After all, I'm getting paid to do something I love.	d I don't earn a wonderful salary, but money isn't everything, is it? And on the ship almost everything is free, so I save most of my money.
e The good thing is that I don't have a boss. Nobody can sack me if I turn up late!	e I really like the people I work with. They're great fun. And I visit some amazing places too. But the best thing about my job is that I have six months holiday every year!
f The trouble with my job is that it's difficult to have a good social life. My girlfriend left me last year. She wanted to spend more time with me in the evenings, but I couldn't because of my job.	f I love my job, but there's a problem. I don't earn enough money to keep a flat, so I still live with my parents. It's a pity because I would like to be more independent. Maybe I should ask for a pay rise.
g No way. I love what I'm doing, but it's a job for young people. Anyway, I think it's good to change. You get bored if you do the same job for too long.	g I'm not sure. Maybe. I'm doing something I love and the world is a big place so there is plenty more to see. But I hope to get a promotion soon. If I don't, I might start looking for a different job.

Опишите работу Пита и Элизы, основываясь на тексте.

Ответ:

Pete

English: Pete is a 22-year-old DJ in a club. He works on Friday and Saturday nights. He got the job because he used to DJ at parties as a hobby. The money isn't great, about 50 pounds a night, and he spends most of it on new music. A positive thing is that he has no boss. A negative thing is that it's hard to have a social life, and his girlfriend left him because of his job. He doesn't think he will do this job forever because it's a job for young people and you can get bored.

Русский перевод: Пит — 22-летний диджей в клубе. Он работает по ночам в пятницу и субботу. Он получил эту работу, потому что диджеинг был его хобби на вечеринках. Денег платят не очень много, около 50 фунтов за ночь, и большую часть он тратит на новую музыку. Плюс в том, что у него нет начальника. Минус в том, что трудно вести социальную жизнь, и из-за его работы его бросила девушка. Он не думает, что будет заниматься этим вечно, потому что это работа для молодых, и она может наскучить.

Elisa

English: Elisa is a 23-year-old fitness instructor on a cruise ship that travels the world. She got the job because she always wanted to travel. She works very hard, sometimes 14 hours a day. Her salary isn't wonderful, but since everything on the ship is free, she saves most of her money. The best things about her job are the people she works with, visiting amazing places, and having six months of holiday every year. A problem is that she doesn't earn enough to rent her own flat and still lives with her parents. She is not sure about her future; she hopes for a promotion, otherwise she might look for a different job.

Русский перевод: Элиза — 23-летний фитнес-инструктор на круизном лайнере, который путешествует по миру. Она получила эту работу, потому что всегда хотела путешествовать. Она очень много работает, иногда по 14 часов в день. Зарплата у нее не прекрасная, но поскольку на корабле все бесплатно, она экономит большую часть денег. Самое лучшее в ее работе — это люди, с которыми она работает, посещение удивительных мест и шесть месяцев отпуска каждый год. Проблема в том, что она не зарабатывает достаточно, чтобы снимать собственную квартиру, и все еще живет с родителями. Она не уверена насчет своего будущего; она надеется на повышение, иначе может начать искать другую работу.
