Sarah left school at eighteen, went to college and then worked at a computer company. Four years later, she got a new job as a manager in British Airways(英国航空公司). This is what she told us about her job:

 “My office is at Heathrow Airport, but I spend 60% of 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 a.m. to 4 p.m. but sometimes I work from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. At work, the first thing I do is to check plane times 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 favourite part of the job, but I like office work, too. Travelling can be hard work. When I get back from a long trip, all I can do is to eat something and then go to bed! I don’t make much money, but I’m happy with British Airways and want to stay there and continue to travel.”
