My aunt works as a baker in a small shop near our home. She starts work at five in the morning and finishes after lunch. She makes bread, cakes and biscuits. She also helps customers choose cakes for special occasions. My aunt likes making something that people enjoy. However, getting up early is sometimes difficult, especially in winter. She usually goes to bed before the rest of our family. At weekends, she teaches me to bake. I think her job is hard but interesting.
