Level A2 Beginner English Reading Practice: Adam's Job


Hey, I'm Adam. I'm an auto mechanic. I think this job is perfect for me. Let me tell you why!


When I was a kid, I loved playing with toy cars. My mom and dad always bought them for me for my birthday and Christmas. I didn't complain! I played with those cars all the time.


Then, when I turned sixteen, I was the first person from my group of friends to get a driver's license. I loved driving around the city with my friends. The only bad thing was that my friends didn't help me pay for gas. I think they wanted to help, but they didn't have a lot of money because most of them didn't have part-time jobs.


After I finished high school, I went to a technical institute where I got my degree in automotive technology. I loved that period in my life. I learned so much, and I met some very nice people.


After I got my degree, I started working. Now, I am at my second job. I work at a small garage with six other people. It's great because I am doing something that I love, and my co-workers are also my friends. If you have a problem with your car, come and see me. I will be happy to help you!
