Read the passage and choose one correct answer for each question.

My name is Seumas McSporran and I’m a very busy man. I’m 60 years old and

I have thirteen jobs. I am a postman, a politician, a fireman, a taxi driver, a school-

bus driver, a boatman, an ambulance man, an accountant, a petrol attendant, a

barman, and an undertaker. Also, I and my wife, Margaret, have a shop and a small

hotel.

I live and work on the island of Gigha in the west of Scotland. Only 20 people

live there but in the summer 150 tourists come by boat every day.

Every day I get up at 6.00 and make breakfast for the hotel guests. At 8.00 I

drive the island’s children to school. At 9.00 I collect the post from the boat and

deliver it to all the houses on the island. I also deliver the beer to the island’s only

pub. Then I help Margaret in the shop.

My wife likes being busy, too. We never have holidays and we don’t watch

television. In the evenings Margaret makes supper and I do the accounts. At 10.00

we have a glass of wine and then we go to bed. Perhaps our life isn’t very exciting,

but we like it.
