My Family at Work – by Ayşe

My family members have very different jobs. My mother is a pharmacist. She works in a pharmacy near the hospital. She gives medicine to people and answers their questions. My father is an architect. He works at an architectural firm in the city centre, and he designs buildings. My uncle Kemal is a journalist. He works at a news agency and reports news. My aunt Selma is a computer programmer. She develops software. She works remotely, so she works at home most days. My cousin Burak is a security guard at a shopping centre. He checks people's bags at the entrance.

Two Working Days

Mr Demir is a bank clerk. He gets up at 7 a.m. every weekday and goes to the bank by bus. He serves customers from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and he has lunch at 12.30 with his colleagues. He doesn't work at weekends.

His sister, Elif Demir, is a psychologist. She works in a clinic, and she counsels people with problems. On Mondays and Wednesdays, she starts work at 11 a.m., but on the other weekdays she starts at 8 a.m. She also works on Saturday mornings. On Sundays, she visits her brother's family, and they have breakfast together.
