DO YOU LIKE YOUR JOB?

_Mary__ and __Linda__ are employees of a logistics company. They are talking about the salary levels in the company._

MARY: Do you like your job?

LINDA: {A. and they have to deliver the goods in all weather conditions; B. I don’t really like it; C. Your job is not difficult; D. The cost of living is increasing dramatically these days; E. It is said that couriers of our company can earn more than 6,000 yuan a month}.

MARY: Why not?

LINDA: Because the salary is low. {A. and they have to deliver the goods in all weather conditions; B. I don’t really like it; C. Your job is not difficult; D. The cost of living is increasing dramatically these days; E. It is said that couriers of our company can earn more than 6,000 yuan a month}. I always spend more money than I earn.

MARY: Don’t complain too much. I thought you got a good salary. Your salary is much higher than the white-collar average income of this city.

LINDA: Just 4,000 yuan a month. {A. and they have to deliver the goods in all weather conditions; B. I don’t really like it; C. Your job is not difficult; D. The cost of living is increasing dramatically these days; E. It is said that couriers of our company can earn more than 6,000 yuan a month}.

MARY: But that’s a really hard job. They work long hours every day, {A. and they have to deliver the goods in all weather conditions; B. I don’t really like it; C. Your job is not difficult; D. The cost of living is increasing dramatically these days; E. It is said that couriers of our company can earn more than 6,000 yuan a month}. You just sit in the comfortable office and don’t have to work outside.

LINDA: Yeah, that’s for sure.

MARY: {A. and they have to deliver the goods in all weather conditions; B. I don’t really like it; C. Your job is not difficult; D. The cost of living is increasing dramatically these days; E. It is said that couriers of our company can earn more than 6,000 yuan a month}. You have no reason to complain.

LINDA: Maybe you’re right.

I AM A COURIER

I am a courier. Many people today are glad to see us, because they expect to receive what they have bought on the Internet. When I see their eager faces, I feel that my job is valuable. I am proud of my job. Why did I choose to be a courier?

The first benefit is, I think, couriers can usually deliver an item faster than it would have taken if sent by other means. For example, a person may need to send a document to someone else. He could do this by sending it through the mail. If the two parties are in the same city, this transaction is likely to take at least one day. Couriers, however, usually can make it happen within hours.

Secondly, couriers generally offer a receipt for the delivery and that can make their clients feel more secure. Postal services generally are not as efficient in this regard. Even text messages and e-mails may not be comparable. In many cases, without delivery confirmation, the sender knows that something was sent, but there is no confirmation as to whether it was received or when it was received.

Most importantly, the Internet has changed people’s shopping habits. More and more people tend to shop on the Internet. The goods bought on the Internet have to be delivered by couriers. So a courier can make more money if he wants to work longer hours.

That’s why I have chosen to work as a courier. Well, that’s about my job. Time is money. I have to send packages to the next place now. Talk to you later.
