Kiwi Words & Phrases lesson007 奇异常用语 007

今天有位朋友提议我特别要提这个:
即将打工的朋友要留意哦!

smoko: break, rest period
小休,休息时间。

often informal, smoko means cigarette break 
taken during work or military duty,
although the term can also be used to describe
any short break such as a rest or a coffee/tea break.

Within New Zealand the term has generally altered to
include coffee breaks and outdoor rests.
The term is used primarily in New Zealand
amongst the building and manufacture communities.
from wikipedia

you get smoko for every 2 hours of work (usually)
15mins for break, 30mins for meal.
 
一般工作每两小时会有个15分钟(小休)
或半小时(用餐)的smoko. 

朋友们记得要休息哦。
cuppa tea & fresh air.
