For this week's issue we talked to Jerry Young,
the main chef at our school in Cambridge.
This is what he said about his work.

Good morning, Mr Young. We're writing an
5 article about different jobs. Do you want to
help?

Yes, sure. What do you want to know?

What exactly do you do at the school?

Well, I'm a cook. I prepare lunch and dinner for
10the students of this college.

What time do you start work?

I start at 9.30 and it takes about two hours.
I usually cook three dishes. One of them is
vegetarian. After lunch, I start preparing dinner.
15I also help with serving the students. I usually
finish at 7 p.m.

When do you decide on the menu?

Usually every Saturday. We have a meeting and

we write down what we want to cook and what
20we need to buy. Then, we give our orders to the
local supermarket. Every day they bring us fresh
ingredients.

What do you usually cook?

You know. Stuff you like. Pasta, burgers, fish
25and chips, rice… But we also make mixed
salads and desserts. Cakes, pies, fruit salads…
Everyone is crazy about my apple pie.

Yummy! OK, one last question. What do you
like about your job?

30Oh, I love cooking, first of all. It's a kind of art.
The students here say I'm good at my job.
They quite often ask for a second helping. Also,
I enjoy being with young people every day.

Sounds interesting!
35Thanks for your time, Mr Young.

You're welcome, guys. I have a day-off. See you
on Tuesday.
