My name’s Alice and I work on a farm in the south east of England. Mostly, we grow fruit, but we also keep chickens. ducks and dairy cows. So, we have to work outside quite a lot, even in the winter, when it's cold and dark. That's the worst part of the job, really. You know, having to go out in the rain and snow to feed the animals. But the summer’s totally different. I really enjoy being outdoors. helping the fruit pickers and loading the trucks. We deliver most of our fruit to supermarkets. but we also supply local shops with our milk, eggs and cheese. In fact, we produce so much cheese and fruit that we even sell them directly to the public in our farm shop.

I‘m Wei Long, but my American friends call me Will. I’m a businessman in California. Before I came to the United States, I studied at a university in China. I graduated in information technology. But when I was young, even before I went to university, I worked in the family business. So my ambition has always been to earn a living through trade. After I graduated, I worked for my father for a few years to get some experience and then I started my own small company. First I set up an office in China, and then I opened another office in California. We sell computer parts from China, because I know a lot of people in the computer industry there. I don’t have any salesmen, but I have a receptionist to look after the office while I'm out on sales trips. I like being my own boss I enjoy being able to make all the decisions myself. I mean, I sell most of my goods to large corporations and I think I'd find it very difficult to work in a big company. |
