Handout 5
Read the text about Ernie Wilkins and Penny
Wilcox. They have specific jobs in England.
Ernie Wilkins, Milkman
Ernie Wilkins has been a milkman for 20 years. He
loves his job, but not everybody can understand why. For a start, he has to get
up early every day. He gets up at one o’clock in the morning and starts working
at two o’clock. Then he puts all the mild onto his electric milk truck or
lorry. And nowadays milkmen don’t just bring you milk. They often sell juice,
cram, yogurt, bread and potatoes. It usually takes him three quarters of an
hour to prepare his truck or lorry. Then he drives round the streets in his
town and leaves bottles of milk and other items at his customer’s doors. When
they wake up, everything is waiting there.
Ernie loves the peace and quiet of the early morning.
He loves being outdoors, but he doesn’t like when it’s very cold in the winter.
Watching the sun come up is always a special moment for him. Ernie is very
caring. He loves the fact that everybody knows him and old people often ask him
for help. When Ernie finishes work at 9am, he is tired but happy.
Penny Wilcox, Lollipop person
Penny
Wilcox is 55 years old. She doesn’t want to work long hours and so the job she
started last year is perfect for her. She just works for half an hour in the
morning and half an hour in the afternoon. The official name for her job is a
School Crossing Guide. She works outside the school at the times when students
arrive in the morning and leave in the afternoon. When there is a group of
students waiting, she walks into the middle of the road and stops the traffic.
She wears bright yellow jacket and carries a sign which say STOP. The sign looks
like a lollipop that’s why everybody calls Penny and her colleagues “lollipop
people”. When drivers see her and her sign, they must stop and let the children
cross. Penny is a very sociable person and she loves talking to the children
each morning. The only thing she doesn’t like is that some drivers get angry
and shout when they have to stop. Penny thinks that in the past drivers were
friendlier. She's unhappy that there have been some serious accidents and
lollipop people have been hurt. But Penny knows a lot of children and won’t
stop working if they need her.
