Read the following conversation and answer the question.

M: Do you mind telling me about your work in the factory?

W: Certainly not. I'm a machine operator working in the assembly workshop.

M: Oh, are you? Then you have a six-day week, don't you?

W: Yes. And we work eight hours a day, but this includes a one -hour break.

M: What about the huge machines used in your factory? I know you make heavy machines yourselves. But I wonder if you also use machines imported from abroad.

W: Most of them are made in China, some even by our factory. Only a few were bought from other countries.

M: But I see the machines turned out here are quite modem and efficient.

W: Following the national policy of self - reliance and hard - working struggle, we've tried our best in the past few years to improve our equipment. However, there is still a lot more to do.

M: Now the question about yourself. I hope you don't mind it. How much do you earn each month?

W: My monthly wage is 3,500 RMB, not including the extra pay of about 500 for extra work I put in.

M: That sounds reasonable indeed. I'm very interested in worker's welfare here. What other benefits do you workers get, I wonder?

W: Like other factories in China, our factory offers free medical service for workers.
