Question

  “Be proud of what you do ”my father often tells me “whether (无论是) you are a manager or a cleaner. ” At the age of 15 I got my first job—a summer job in a hospital. My work is to wash dishes and sweep the floors. I smiled and remembered Dad’ s words.

   My job was the lowest but it made me feel excited. I saw it as a challenge (衫匕战) because it was my first job. I learned to be on time and tried to do everything well. People in hospital all liked me. Every morning I always thought that the dirty dishes would make people ill without my job to wash them. After breakfast was done I started sweeping the floors of all patients (people who are ill) rooms and cleaning restrooms. I was very tired but I wanted to do the job well. People often say "That young boy really does a good job. w That gave me a pride (自豪) .

Working in the hospital taught me that being proud of one's job is important. It doesn’t matter whether the job is sweeping floors or doing a large business. I have swept floors and I have been a manager. My father’s words have always stayed with me. I think Dad would be proud of me.(北足市朝阳区 2012—2013 学年八年级下学期期末考试英语试题)
