The Volunteer
'There are a lot of volunteers working at the hospital. I don’t 
know how many but it seems that there are more volunteers 
than doctors sometimes! I work in a small team that helps and 
talks to the families of patients. Being ill can be very difficult, 
of course, but it’s hard for relatives too. Me and my colleagues
chat to families and make sure they are OK. Some of the other 
volunteers talk a lot, and many people like that. I prefer to 
listen and help in that way. It can be very scary when a relative
is ill and it helps some family members to talk to someone. If 
there aren’t many visitors, I usually go to the café and listen to
music. Because I’m a volunteer, I don’t have to work all the 
time like the doctors and nurses do! I work at all times of day 
but there are usually more visitors in 

The Part-time worker

'I start work at 7 a.m. and make breakfast.There are
only four rooms here and breakfast is at 9 a.m.Then I
clean the breakfast room. When people leave the
hotel, I give them their bills and make sure they pay
the correct amount, I clean the rooms and then I go
home. Sometimes, when no-one is leaving, I can go
home at 11 o’clock. When all four people leave on the
