A
Megan
I'm based in Bahrain, and I have a small apartment there. The thing I like most about my job is the chance to meet people from different cultures. I spend a lot of my time handing out food and drinks and clearing up people's rubbish. I certainly don't feel very excited about going home at two in the morning!
Frank
I enjoy playing around with word puzzles. So I sent a couple in to a local newspaper and was really surprised when they asked me for more. I suppose it is a strange way to spend your day surrounded by dictionaries and books, but it's great because I'm just doing what I like.
Gemma
I love music and listen to it all the time, even when I go jogging (慢跑). As for my job—you really can't be shy in this kind of work, and you have to be very patient because sometimes we practise for hours before we get it right. When we're on tour, we work for several weeks with no breaks and you can get really tired. For relaxation, whenever I get a holiday, I go straight to a sunny beach.
Raoul
Most people think I spend my day chopping (切) vegetables and washing dishes, but it's not that simple. I have to be really careful with the food and keep everything very clean. The biggest problem is my boss—he shouts at me all the time—even, for example, if I forget to wash up one plate. Actually, I'm hoping to find a new job soon because I don't get much time off.
