The picture shows a man who is working as a deliveryman. He was riding his bike but he stopped to check something on his mobile phone. He’s probably trying to work out where he has to go to deliver the product, which seems to be food.Â
The road is wet and the man is wearing a raincoat, so it must have been raining during the day. Now It’s dark, so he turned the bike lights on. There’s a street light in the background that is also on. In the background I can also see buildings and cars, as well as a big restaurant on the right-hand side. Well, it looks like a restaurant but I’m not sure.Â
 Although he’s using an electric bike, which makes it much easier to pedal around the city, being a deliveryman is still a hard job because you need to work long hours for a low wage.

4. Answer the following questions from Speaking part 4

A few well-paid jobs that come to mind are sports players, doctors, judges, pilots and employers in big companies. They all have big responsibilities in their jobs, so it’s fair that they earn such a lot of money. Sports players’ salaries is a bit more controversial, though. Some people think they deserve the salary because they generate it, while others think they should have a fixed salary like a public worker, so the rest of the money they generate is spent on improving society.
