It can be a difficult job when the weather's bad but I still like it. Well, yesterday I went to paint a house for a woman called Mrs Hill but when I got to the house there was no-one in. I decided to start painting because it was a big house and I had just two days to finish it. At about midday I stopped for lunch and went to a cafe round the corner. I asked for burger and chips. That's my favourite meal. But there were no burgers so I had fish and chips instead. Well, I was eating my food when a woman phoned me. She said, 'Where are you?' and I answered, 'I'm having my lunch!' I was surprised because she was very unfriendly and she didn't say she liked my painting. At two o'clock I went back to the house but there was still no-one there! Then I saw a woman in the garden of the house next door. She looked very angry so I said 'What's the matter?'. Her answer made me feel terrible. She said 'I'm waiting for a man to paint my house. He said he'd come this morning but he hasn't arrived yet.' 'What's your name?' I asked her. 'Mrs Hill' she said! I was painting the wrong house! I picked up my paint and brushes and ran away! 8 Cambridge Young Learners Flyers Practice Test 1 Examples Bill's job is sometimes         difficult                                   if the weather isn't nice.
