My job routine
My name is Roberto and I work at a bank. I am the manager. I always get up and take a shower. I rarely have
breakfast, so I frequently buy something on the way to work.
I always start working at 8:00 am, and I finish every day at 6:00 pm. I live very close to the bank, thus I walk
almost every day, but I take the bus occasionally. At the bank, I am the boss, I always help all the workers, but
sometimes I have to tell them what to do. Sometimes, I must attend meetings outside the bank, but most of the
time I do it here.
I frequently have to talk to the customers and make them feel happy. I like to be here! I never stay at home
during working days because I really like my job.
