Nicola Peet left school at eighteen, went to college and then worked at a local airport. After nine months, she went to work for Saudi Arabian Airlines and then she joined British Airways as n air-hostess. For years later, she got her present job as a manager.
This is what she told us about her job:
“ My office is at Heathrow Airport, but I spend 60% my time in the air, I teach air-hostesses and help them with any problems. I also go to lots of meetings. My hours are usually from 8 am to 4 p.m but sometimes I work from 1 pm to 9 pm. At work, the first thing I do is to check plane time on my computer and then I speak with some of the air-hostesses. Sometimes I go on long flights to check how the air-hostesses are doing. That’s my favorite part of job, but I like office work too. Traveling can be a hard work. When I get back from a long journey, all I can do is eating something and then going to bed! I don’t earn much money, but I’m happy with British Airways and want to stay there and continue to travel.”

Rivers are on of the world's most important natural resources. Many cities are on the large rivers, and almost every country has a least one river that plays an important part in the lives of its people. Besides transportation, rivers provide water for crops, water to drink, and recreation for people who live along their banks And in order to get water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam across a river and let water become a lake behind the dam. Then people can use their water not only to irrigate fields but also to make electricity for homes and industries. However the water often becomes polluted when cities on river bank grow in size and the number of industries increases. We are learning that it is necessary to keep rivers clean if we want to enjoy the benefits of the natural resources.
