Dear Amy,
A I thought I'd drop you a line to tell you l've
... the got a brilliant new job. I'm working as an estate
agent for a large firm. The people are friendly and I
really enjoy the work.
B I get up at seven o'clock because I have to be
at work by 8:30. It's not easy, I can tell you! In the
mornings, I work in the office. I make appointments,
talk to customers and write reports about the
houses that people want to sell. I prefer the
afternoons, though, because then I take people to
see houses. I usually finish work at five o'clock, but
I sometimes work extra hours at weekends. I don't
mind, because it's an interesting job.
C I have to be very persuasive to make people.
interested in buying the house and I need to be
confident to speak to people I don't know. It's
certainly not a job for shy people! I also have to be
quite organised and punctual and make sure I meet
customers on time.
D It's great to be able to find the perfect house
for customers, and the look on people's faces when
they find their dream home makes me really happy.
E I hope you can visit me soon. I look forward
to hearing all your news. Write soon!
Love,
Tracey
