Question

PRESENTATION Read the following short story. SAVING LIVES!! My name’s Albert and I am 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. Mark true (T) or false (F) according to the text. You’ll have to explain orally when it’s false:  Albert is a swimming instructor. ( )  His job is to keep people safe at the beach. ( )  He likes his job. ( )  He works during the week and the weekend as well. ( )  His friends think he should get another job. ( )  He saves lives and gives advice on how to swim well. ( )  Advising people to use sunscreen and to protect from the sun isn’t one of his duties. ( ) When Albert says “I’ve worked here for 4 years” is he referring only to the present or is he referring to the past (4 years ago) and the present (he still works there)? __________________________________________________________________________________ If he said: “I worked there 4 years ago.” would it be a reference to the past or present? __________________________________________________________________________________ And if he said: “I work here”? __________________________________________________________________________________ Since he’s referring to both past and present, how does he express it? __________________________________________________________________________________
