English Audio Request

I want to talk to you about jobs you can do if you're about fourteen to sixteen years old. If you're lucky, you may have a neighbour or a friend or a relative who needs a bit of help because they are old or they are handicapped or they can't get out very much and they may want you to do some work for them. They may want you to do some shopping or help a little bit in the garden or do some jobs around the house. One of the things that some of them like to do is to take their dog for a walk. If they have a dog at home, it's company for them in the home but they can't take them for a walk because they are too old or too disabled.
If you want a regular job, you can become a paperboy or a papergirl. In this case, what you do is that you go to the newsagent's, pick up the papers for a round as they call it in England and that's a number of houses you take the papers to in the course of the morning. You will have to start early in the morning because you need to finish in time to get to school afterwards, so you will have to finish at about quarter past eight and starts maybe at about quarter past seven and you have to do this whether it's rainy, snowy, windy, warm, cold, whatever. Bu if you want to get some cash then getting a paper round is a great idea!

I saw no request for an English speaker with any particular accent. I hope American is useful.
