Conas a Labhairt Faoi Post Páirtaimseartha (How to Talk About a Part-Time Job)
Tá mé ag obair faoi láthair i siopa miondíola in ionad siopadóireachta. Oibrím gach deireadh seachtaine agus is aoibhinn liom m’obair. Oibrím ó 11 ar maidin go dtí 6 sa tráthnóna ar an Satharn agus ar an Domhnach.
Bíonn neart dualgas agam. Freastalaím ar na custaiméirí, bím ar an scipéad airgid, glanaim an siopa, scuabaim an t-urlár agus freagraím an fón.
Tuillim thart ar €70 gach deireadh seachtaine. Tugann an post neamhspleáchas dom agus taitníonn sé liom ag cabhrú le daoine. Tá sé sásúil.
Ar an taobh eile, bíonn tuirse orm mar ní stopaim riamh! Bíonn scoil agam i rith na seachtaine agus ansin obair ag an deireadh seachtaine. Tá sé dúshlánach an obair scoile agus an post a láimhseáil le chéile.
Tá mé ag sábháil airgid mar tá mé ag dul ar laethanta saoire tar éis na scrúduithe – rachaidh mé go dtí an Ghréig le mo chairde!
I am currently working in a retail shop in a shopping center. I work every weekend and I love my job. I work from 11 AM to 6 PM on Saturday and Sunday.
I have many responsibilities. I serve customers, I am often on the cash register, I clean the shop, sweep the floor, and answer the phone.
I earn about €70 every weekend. The job gives me independence, and I enjoy helping people. It is satisfying.
On the other hand, I get tired because I never stop! I have school during the week and then work on the weekends. It is challenging to balance schoolwork and a job.
I am saving money because I am going on holidays after the exams – I am going to Greece with my friends!
Cad Má Níl Post Páirtaimseartha Agat? (What If You Don’t Have a Part-Time Job?)
Níl post páirtaimseartha agam, faraor. Táim dírithe ar an obair scoile i mbliana. Níl an t-am agam mar tá an staidéar an-tábhachtach dom.
Tá mé buartha go gcuirfeadh post isteach ar mo thorthaí, mar sin roghnaigh mé gan a bheith ag obair go fóill. Tá súil agam go bhfaighidh mé post an bhliain seo chugainn, tar éis na scrúduithe!
Unfortunately, I don’t have a part-time job. I am focused on my schoolwork this year. I don’t have the time because studying is very important to me.
I am worried that a job would affect my exam results, so I decided not to work for now. I hope to get a job next year, after the exams!
