Task 1. Read the text and complete the chart. Job 1
Well, you need to be good with people. I’d say that’s the most important thing. And you need to be
really patient. You don’t need any qualifications except languages, of course. The more languages
you speak, the better. The good side of the job is definitely the travelling. I’ve been able to get to
know places I never dreamed of seeing, like Bali and Honolulu. And you meet a lot of nice people
too.
The bad side is that it’s not very well-paid. The salary is quite low compared to other jobs. And the
job itself can sometimes be very stressful. There are nearly always problems – overbooking in
hotels, flight delays, luggage that doesn’t arrive, people wanting to change the rooms and things
like that.
The worst experience I have ever had was this awful customer who spent at least two hours a day
complaining to me, and always about the same things. He complained about the size of the
swimming pool, then about the music in the restaurant, then about the food. Finally, he even
locked me in his room one day to make me listen to his complaints. After that we paid for a plane
ticket for him to go home a week early. He was the worst customer I’ve had.

I think the most important thing is that you have to love children, and be good at getting on with
them. You do not need any qualifications, you just have to be able to speak a bit of English.
The good side of the job is definitely the children. Although sometimes they are naughty or
difficult, most of the time I really enjoy looking after them. And I have learned a lot of English
talking to them and playing with them. I also have a lot of free time, so I can go to classes, or go
out with my friends at night. The bad side is the parents of children. They are not friendly to me
and they do not get on with each other. They are always arguing. I don’t like them. And I have to
do a lot of housework. Too much.
My worst experience was one night when the phone rang, and I picked it up and said “Hello?” It
was a woman and she thought I was the children’s mother. She said, ‘I’m going to tell you
everything. I’m in love with your husband!’ Then when I explained that I was only the au pair, she
became completely hysterical! That evening, when the wife wasn’t there, I told her husband about
the phone call. First he laughed and said it was a joke, but then he offered me more money. I didn’t
accept it.

Ginny the main character of thestory is 16. She's tuning out tobe a brilliant artist like her mother, who died when she was a baby. In the extract you're going to read Ginny sees her mother's picture in the at galley. When Ginny was first becoming interested in art and the history of painting, Dad had given her a big book with hundreds of reproductions in it. She'd pored over it with more than delight - with a kind of greed, in fact. She absorbed everything the book told her about the Renaissance, and the Impressionists, and the Cubists, about Boticelli and Monet and Picasso, and she breathed it all in like oxygen she had not known she was missing. And among the pictures in the book, there were two that made her gasp. One was Whistler's Arrangement in Grey and Back, the portrait of his mother sitting on an upright chair, and the other was El Greco's View of Toledo. She remembered her reaction quite clearly: a sudden intake of breath, caused by sheer surprise at the arrangement of shapes and colours. It was a physical shock. And when she looked at the big painting that dominated the end wall, the same thing happened. It would have affected her the same way whoever had painted it, because it was a masterpiece. What it showed was a middle-aged black man, in a uniform with epaulettes and medals, in the act of falling on to the red-carpeted floor of a well furnished room. He'd been eating a meal, and on the table beside him there was a plate of yellow soup. Beyond him, through the open door and at the open window, stood a crowd of people, watching: white people at black, old and young rely dressed and poverty-stricken. Some of them carried objects that helped you understand who they were: a wad of dollar bills for a banker, a clutch of guns for an arms dealer, a chicken for a peasant; and the expressions on their faces told Ginny that they'd all in some ways been victims or accomplices of the man who was dying. And all that was important, but just as important was the strange discord of the particular red of the carpet and the particular yellow of the soup, so that you knew it was something significant, and you guessed the soup had been poisoned. And the way the dying man was isolated by the acid red from every other shape in the picture, so that it looked as if he were sinking out of sight in a pool of blood. And mainly what was important was the thing that was impossible to put into words: the arrangements of the shapes on the canvas. These same elements put together differently would have been an interesting picture, but put together like this, they made Ginny catch her breath. She began thinking of what her mother had wanted to say by the picture. Tell the soy of the corrupt office? Yes ... But not mainly. What she had probably wanted to do was just to see what happened when she put that red and that yellow together. That was what could start it. Some little technical thing like that. And the shape of the man as he falls ... Because there's no shadow you can not see easily where he is in relation to the floor. He seems to be floating in space, almost. But at the same time no one could say that the picture was not technically correct. It was amazing, brilliant! Ginny felt a lump in her throat.
