What is your dream job, a pilot or a policeman? What do you hope your job is like? Here are three interesting stories about unusual jobs.
The sweetest job
Harry is only 12, but he is working for a sweet company. His job is probably the best in the company—the sweet tester. When a new sweet is invented (发明), Harry eats it, writes a report (报告) about it and sends his report to the factory. And then a decision (决定) is made about whether to make the sweet or not. He is not a regular worker (正式员工), but he gets free sweets!
Island blogger
Do you wish to live on an island and get paid? Ben got such a job, but it was hard work! He had to live alone (独自) in a house (with a swimming pool) on Hamilton Island and spent every day swimming, exploring (探索) and relaxing. Then he had to write a blog to show his findings and feelings.
Sleeping on the job
Usually, sleeping on the job is a big problem—if you fall asleep, you'll lose the job! But Roisin was once paid to sleep on the job. She slept in designer beds for eight hours a day, every day for a month, and tested (测试) them to see what makes "a good night's sleep". In the end, Roisin had to write a report about the beds.
