                            A Life In The Day Of Jackie Willis

      My day usually (start) at 7.30 a.m. when I get out of bed, have a shower, put on my uniform, take a quick glass of orange juice and get a taxi to the hotel. I never (wear) much make-up during the day.

I work a six-day week at the hotel. The first shift is the busiest. At the desk in the hotel I answer questions and solve any problems. 1_________________ but if things seem quiet I leave a note and go into the restaurant for a cup of coffee and a roll.

The second shift (run) from 12.30 but you can still get away for lunch. 2_____________ . Sometimes I have a free afternoon and I often think about lying on the beach, but usually I go home for siesta. I don’t think much about trying to get a tan. I do my sunbathing during my holiday.

The evening shift is the easiest. After dinner I leave a note on the desk and go into the bar to chat with the clients and hear about their day.

I hardly cook at all during the season. I don’t enjoy it much – except for frying bacon! But I do manage to eat quite a lot – all my meals (seem) to come at the end of the day. And there are some English foods that I really prefer, such as bacon, cheese, and, most of all, Marks and Spencer cakes.

I'm usually pretty tired by the end of the day. The day ( end) with a good talk with my friends.

My day off is very important for me. Usually I try to get up about 9.30, have a leisurely breakfast and then go off to another resort for the day.
