EXAMINATION CARD № 8

І. Reading

Read the text and match the headings (A–D) to the paragraphs (1–5). One heading is extra.

A How dangerous is it?

B What’s it like up there?

C Have you had any funny experiences?

D How long have you been a window cleaner?

E Would you like to change your job?

When you hear the phrase ‘dangerous jobs’, you probably think of firefighters, lifeguards or police officers. Can window cleaning be dangerous? No? Well, if you are working 250m above the ground, it can be very dangerous. This week, Darren Barnes, a window cleaner on some of the tallest buildings in Perth, in Australia, talks to us.

1__________

For ten years, I was working as a builder before that. Then, my brother started cleaning windows on skyscrapers and I changed jobs to work with him. I have always loved being up in the sky!

If you’re not afraid of heights, it’s great. On a sunny day the view is amazing. It’s very quiet and the people below look like ants. Of course, bad weather can be a problem – you know, strong winds – and the pollution sometimes makes the city look grey. However, I like it up there.

3__________

Well, it’s safer than it looks. The job was more difficult when I started. But safety equipment has changed a lot since then. We’ve got a power roof car now to take us to the top instead of the old chair. And I don’t work alone. Twelve of us clean a building, so we look out for each other.

4__________

Oh sure. Once, a pigeon sat on my head for hours and went up and down the building with me. It came every day and we used to share my sandwiches.
