V. Describe in writing the main idea of the three texts.
They say so many people so many jobs. Cooking, gardening, quilting, knitting and a great many of other jobs is not only a hobby nowadays. People earn money on what they can do and can do professionally. Many people like to hire full time maids for their home, who can take care of their entire house and keep it clean and exquisite. Most of gardeners, cooks have a personal interest in their business.
To be a modern servant nowadays is becoming a common thing. It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve to disabled people, to do child keeping, to grow plants and design the private gardens, to do the cooking and make up new recipes to make people happy and to bring joy in their life.
