There are many jobs that most of us do not know exist, The reason for this is
probably because it's never crossed our minds that such jobs are necessary
and that there are actually people who get paid to do them. one of these
jobs is an odour tester.

l studied chemistry but l didn't know what career path to follow until l saw
an advertisement in the newspaper for a job that was really nobody's cup of
tea. The advertisement specifically asked for a chemist with a good nose for
scents. Apparently, odour testers have to be very good at recognising scents,
They also have to use their knowledge of chemistry to keep changing a scent
until they create the necessary result. For this reason, odour testers spend a
lot of time in labs working on the way a product will smell.

l know this job is perfect for me because l'm a great chemist. Also, l pay
close attention to details. ln fact, l can easily tell the difference between
various scents. |'m also very patient so lwon't mind spending hours or even
days trying to perfect the smell of a specific product. Last but not least, |'m
very well,organised with my work and l have a very good memory, For this
reason, l manage to accomplish my goals effectively.

and wildlife on the walls of the buildings. This iS the type of area that usually has a sign that says'No

will be open to the public for one month only, until the buiIdings are destroyed.
Some people don't understand how an artist can put so much effort into a work of art that is going to clisappear so
soon. The artists themselves are happy to do the work, but it's sad that it will not last long.'Art is usually seen in priVate
collections, but street art,. _to the street,'says Jay, one of the ]OO artists,'So if a building is destroyed, the art goes

Dorodango, which is the art of creating shiny mud balls, is a common pastime for ]apanese children. Larry il|
Taylor has been making dorodangos íor a while now; ever since he saw a friend's collection of them. 'The
process requires more patience other hobbies. You see, } quicker

you try to make a dorodango, the + likely it is that it

will turn out the way it's supposed to,' he says. He poin* to a nice,
shiny brown ball that fits in the palm of his hand and says, 'l have ffi
workíng on this ball for over a week.'

Larry explains that all you need to make a dorodango is soil and
water. You take the soil and water in your hands and constantly

shape the ball until it becomes smooth and shiny. 'Each time

l start to make a new ball, l try to be i,,
