Do you want to travel places, but don’t have enough cash? Then a working holiday could be the
answer!
A Cooking/Waiting
You might be waiting in a humble café or preparing food in a five-star restaurant. Either way, you will
usually work long hours and the pay won’t be very high. On the other hand, these are jobs which put you
in contact with other travellers and, if you wait on tables, you may get a lot of tips.
B Working on a Farm
You’ll definitely see something of the countryside if you do farm work. Duties include fruit picking,
planting crops and caring for animals. Wages are low, but accommodation is often free. Unless you’re
already physically fit, however, you’ll probably experience some aches and pains at first!
C Working at a Ski Resort
Your friends are going to go skiing this winter and you can’t afford it. Could that be you? Then why not
work as a skiing instructor? This is a really cool job in every way! You’ll need to have a teaching
certificate for skiing; if not, you can earn money by cleaning the chalets.
D Au Pairing

dream, you might want to join a
yachting crew. You’ll certainly see something of the world and you won’t be bored; your duties may
include helping to sail the yacht in addition to tasks like cleaning and maintenance.

9. Imagine you are on holidays in Cancun and you are going to visit an underwater
park. Write a short email telling about it. Write: where you are; what are you going
