Presente perfect worksheet

Read the text and answer the questions

My name’s Albert and I’m a lifeguard. I’ve worked here for 4 years and I really love my
job. I’ve saved some lives and that’s really rewarding. It’s nice to know that my job is
important to keep people safe while they’re resting and having fun at the beach.
I also like to know that my advice is useful to keep people free from being assaulted,
injured or even sunburned. I work from Tuesday to Saturday, from 9 to 5 and rest two
Sundays a month. Twice a month I work from 9 to noon because while people rest I
have to do my job.
My friends think I should quit and have the opportunity to rest and go out during the
weekend, but I can’t imagine doing anything else.
