Unit 1 An Iceman

Listening Comprehension

An iceman

Interviewer: Welcome to Jobs in the Past! Today we talk with an iceman from the
year 1900! Please tell us about the iceman‘s job.

Iceman: I bring ice to people‘s homes. Factories make the ice. Then, every day, I
carry big blocks of ice to the homes. I carry the ice on my wagon. A horse pulls the
wagon, because we don‘t have cars or trucks.

Interviewer: You have a big job! Do you work every day?

Iceman: Yes, I do. When the day ends, I feel very tired. The ice is really heavy! But
I have to do the same thing every day. People need ice, because ice can keep food
fresh. They can‘t store the food for a long time without me! My job brings happiness
to people!

Interviewer: But people can make ice in their freezer, can‘t they?

Iceman: What? We don‘t have them! We have iceboxes! An icebox is a wooden box,
and it has a big block of ice inside. People can use a block for about a week. When it
melts, I bring more ice to people.

Interviewer: But your job is no longer necessary because the freezer
came out!
