Sarah left school at eighteen,went to collage and then worked at a computer company.Four years later,she got a new job as a manager in British Airways(英國航空公司).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(空姐)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 check plane times on my computer and then I speak with some of the air-hostesses.

Sometimes I go on long flights(飛行)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 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.”
