1 Gerund or Infinitive? Four people are talking about their jobs. What areas of professional activity do they come from? Circle the correct form of the verbs.
1 I love my job, it is very stimulating and not boring at all. Besides, I love working/to work from home. You’ve got to think in a very logical way. The work may be mentally tiring, but it is very satisfying to write a programme that works. I have never considered changing/ to change my job.
2 My job is exciting but hard. It involves meeting/to meet with people, taking/to take interviews and writing/to write various articles. I enjoy visiting/to visit new places and reporting/to report on the events. Of course, there’s a certain element of risk, especially when I have to broadcast from hotspots.
3 My work is fascinating and rewarding. Just imagine standing/to stand on the legendary stage surrounded by the beauty of the Bolshoi.
I can’t help feeling/to feel pride at such moments. So, when the orchestra begins playing/to play, all my heart starts beating/to beat in unison with every musical phrase.
I can’t afford having/to have a cold or a sore throat. As you can understand, my throat and lungs are my vocal instruments. I would hate hearing/to hear my voice out of tune.
4 Of course, my job involves getting up/to get up quite early in the morning. But I like being/to be out in the open air. I get a lot of exercise!
I prefer coming/to come to the farm before anybody else, so that I can check up on the animals and arrange treatment, if necessary. I’m pretty used to conducting/to conduct such routine inspections and I strongly believe that in this way we can avoid getting/to get into serious trouble.
