W: What sort of hours do you work, Steve?
M: Well I have to work very long hours, about eleven hours a day.
W: What time do you start?
M: I work 9 to 3, then I start again at 5:30 and work until 11, six days a week. So I have to work very unsocial hours.

W: What are the things you have to do and the things you don’t have to do?
M: Uh, (1)________________________________________. I have to wear white, and I have to keep everything in the kitchen totally clean.
W: What’s hard about the job?
M: You are standing up all the time. When we are busy, people get angry and shout, but that’s normal.
W: (2)_________________________________.
M: Well, I did a two-year course at college. In the first year we had to learn the basics, and then we had to take exams.
