 Read the following, then answer the questions:

Today I am a doctor. Many years ago, I used to have summer jobs. Once I worked in a factory
for shoes. I liked the people who were working there. They advised me. They also helped me
with my work. I learned a lot of things from them. The summer after that one, I worked as a
waiter in a restaurant. I used to carry heavy things. That is why my back and feet used to hurt
me at the end of the day.
However, I earned enough money. At last, I could join the swimming pool. I began to enjoy my
spare time. Today I say to myself that I will never forget those days when I needed the others’
help. I will never forget my summer jobs and the different experiences they provided me with.
