Smell tester

Some people have a superlative sense of smell and an ability to identify scents with precision.
Smell tester or odor tester is a person whose job is to inspect an object using the sense of smell.
Smell testers expose themselves to as many perfumes as possible. They smell everyday objects, plants, paper, plastic... They must have a boundless smell vocabulary, so they can be as precise as posible when they have to describe what they feel with their sense of smell.
Many companies, like cosmetic companies, need professional staff to smell their products. A smell tester has to smell 60 different odors three times per hour.

With temperatures heating up, be careful if you go to the forest! A forest fire may destroy in a few hours trees that required hundreds of years to grow.

Milkman


A milkman

A milkman is a person who sells or delivers milk. It's not very common to meet them her in Spain, but in some countries it's easier. They usually deliver milk in the morning and it is not uncommon for milkmen to deliver products other than milk such as eggs, cream, cheese, butter or yogurt.
A long time ago milkmen needed to deliver milk to houses daily, since not many people had fridges at home. Nowadays everybody has a fridge and milk lasts longer with the improved packaging. So it has decreased the need for frequent milk delivery.
The milkman can deliver the milk without entering the home, and the resident does not need to go to the shop, so they can have fresh milk daily at home. But it's more complicated to do it in cities than in little towns or small neighbourhoods.

Lollipopman

Crossing guards are known by a variety of names, the most widely used is "lollipop lady or lollipop man", it's a reference to the large signs used that look like lollipops.
A crossing guard (in United States and Canada) or a school crossing patrol officer (in the United Kingdom) is a traffic management specialist. It's often associated with elementary school children. Lollipop men temporarily stop the flow of traffic in front of schools, so pedestrians (usualy children) may cross an intersection.
