  8. No days off --- ever, no breaks at all, no proper food.
  off意为“休息,不工作”。例如:Today is my off 今天我休息。I want to take three days off. 我想休假三天。Ever在此起到加强语气的作用,表示“从来没有”。
  9. This included increasing the minimum age of employees to 18, getting employees to read and understand an advice leaflet, getting employers to agree to provide adequate maintenance and conditions, and to put in writing the main job (of which the employees should see a copy).
  ___ (success) successfully
  10. For the main problem facing overseas maids and domestics who try to complain about cruel living and working conditions is that they do not have independent immigrant status and so cannot change employer.
  12. Allowing domestic workers the freedom to seek the same type of work but with a different employer is what groups like Kalayaan and Anti-Slavery International are campaigning the Government for.
  13. It is, they say, the right to change employers which distinguishes employment from slavery.
