ACE Exercise 5 Domestic Helper

The maid is known as Jill. She works for a very demanding employer, Mr Tan. Mr Tan lives alone in a large mansion. Mr Tan demands perfection in everything Jill does. When Mr Tan saw something that does not look clean enough, he will order her to clean it again and again until he is satisfied. Jill's routine is fixed every day. She works like she has been programmed to do the same thing at the exact same order every day. Every day, at six am, Jill will wake up before her master and start cleaning up the kitchen. After an hour, she will go to prepare breakfast and at about seven thirty am, Mr Tan will wake up, eat the breakfast and go to work. For two hours later Jill will clean up the living room, then from ten am to twelve pm she will clean up her master's bedroom, and then she will go and prepare and eat her own lunch. From one pm to five pm, she will clean up the three guest bedrooms and all the other minor parts of the house. Then she will start preparing dinner and when Mr Tan comes back at seven pm he will eat dinner immediately. After that Jill will clean the many washrooms in the mansion and then she will finally be able to take a rest, at around nine pm. By then, she will be covered in dust and sweat and smell like rotten eggs. Some days, Jill will sit down on her bed and look at her hands. They looked like the hands of a seventy year old woman, old and wrinkled, even though she is only a thirty year old young lady. She will sigh and then take a bath. Then she will fall asleep in a flash due to sheer fatigue. The next day, everything will repeat itself once again...
