Why some jobs pay more, sentence 1
A doctor trains for 5 or 6 years at university and more after, and few people can do the work, so doctors earn more; lots of people can learn to clean in a few weeks, so cleaning pays less, though it matters just as much.
Who acts: doctor, few people, doctors, lots, cleaning, it · What happens: train, do, earn, learn, clean, pay · To what, where: university, work, more, much
