can work in this country. 
2. Do you enjoy your job?

3. What's the best thing about your job? 
The best thing about my job is that I can make a difference in people’s 
lives. It’s a great feeling to see someone recover after an illness because 
my colleagues and I were able to help. 
4. Do you prefer working alone or with others? Why? 
In a hospital you have to work as part of a team. I’ve got used to working 
with others, and I think you can achieve a lot more as a team than you 
would alone.
