Перевести и по возможнсти ответить на впоросы. it’s my job alex works as a construction worker with three other construction workers. but he wants to set up his own construction company: “i'm self-employed but i work with three other guys as a gang - that's like a team. we get contracts from construction companies, maybe a few weeks, maybe a year. it depends on the size of the building. you have to be prepared to travel wherever the work is but the money is good. there are bonuses too, for finishing ahead of schedule. what we do is we build the steel frames of all sorts of buildings. i've worked on supermarkets, warehouses, and multi-storey buildings, including one that was 30 storeys high. everything is pre-fabricated. the steel is cut to the right size and drilled before it comes to the site. we have to bolt or weld the pieces together. it sounds easy but try lining up a one-ton girder swinging from a crane on a winter's day when you're a hundred metres up! we like to work fast, and to do that you need ground people who make sure everything reaches you in the right order, and a crane operator who can deliver on the spot - right where you need it. on a typical day, i could be working a twelve-hour shift. if you're high up, you don't come down for tea-breaks. everything you need is up there - canteen, toilets. is it dangerous? well, yes, but there are a lot of safety precautions. we have to wear a safety harness with a lifeline. there are safety cables slung round whichever floor you're working on and you clip on to one as soon as you start. there's a safety net underneath the floor until the deck is down. for me, the most dangerous time is moving the girders into the right position. you could be crushed. i'd like to set up my own construction company eventually, and employ others to do this kind of work”. 1. answer the questions 1. who does alex work with? 2. what do they get from construction companies? 3. what do their contracts depend on? 4. what do they have to be prepared to do? 5. what do they get for finishing ahead of schedule? 6. what do they build? 7. what buildings has alex worked on? 8. how do they build steel frames? 9. whose help do they need to work fast? 10. do you think it is difficult to build steel frames? why? 11. what are the safety precautions? 12. what is the most dangerous time in the construction of a frame?
