Lesson 1 A Perfect Day?
A Couch Potato
When I Wake up I don’t get up immediately I turn on the television and watch the children’s programmes and old movies until about half-past ten. Then I get up, go downstairs and switch on the TV in the living room. For lunch, I have biscuit and a glass of milk, and I watch the news. In the afternoon, I often watch another old film-they’re showing some good ones at the moment. In the evenings, I often watch TV series or sport and the news again. I like the main news at six o’clock. At nine thirty, if there is a good ploy on BBC2, I switch over and watch it. Then at night, I watch more films and I Usually switch off the TV at about two o’clock. I never watch TV all night.
I watch TV for sixteen or seventeen hours a day. I also do some exercise every day. I take Tina, the dog, for a walk to the every afternoon. I don’t go far, of course, I walk to the wall
outside my house. I always take my portable TV and I sit on the stone wall while the dog walks round in a circle.
Of course, I couldn’t live this lifestyle without a good wife. She’s not here now because she’s working, but she always makes my meals. We haven’t got much money, you know, but we’re happy. Sit down and watch TV. Here’s the remote control. You’ve got the world at your feet. And in your hand. Great!
沙发土豆
当我醒来，我不马上起床，我打开电视，看儿童节目和老电影，直到过去十年半。然后我起床，下楼，打开起居室的电视。吃午饭，我吃了饼干和一杯牛奶，我看新闻。在下午，我经常看他们展示了一些不错的电影另一个老电影。在晚上，我经常看电视剧或体育新闻了。我喜欢在六点的重要新闻。九三零，如果有一个好的策略在BBC2，我切换和看它。然后在晚上，我看电影，我通常在二点左右，关掉电视。我从不通宵看电视。我看电视，十六或十七小时。我每天也做些运动。我把蒂娜，狗，每天下午散步的。我不要走远，当然，我走到房子外面的墙。我总是把我的手提电视，坐在石头墙而狗走在一个圆圈。
当然，没有一个好妻子，我不能这样生活。她现在不在这里是因为她工作，但她总是给我做饭。我们没有多少钱，你知道，但我们很高兴。坐下来看电视。这里的远程控制。就在你脚下的世界。和在你的手。太好了。
A workaholic
I normally wake up about five minutes before my alarm clock goes off. As soon as I hear my alarm clock, I jump out of my bed. It
takes me less than fifteen minutes to wash, get changed, have breakfast, leave home and get on a bus.
I am always the first person to the office. The mornings are even busier! Meetings and phone call take up a large part of the day. Every minute of the day is filled with urgent matters. By around eight o?clock, I usually find some time to do my own paperwork and answer some personal e-mail.
When I get home at about ten, I look at some documents that I bring back from the office so that I can be ready for the next day?s work. I get to bed around midnight when my wife and children are already asleep.
I seldom have time for fun and other activities with my family. My family complains about it. But I try to work hard so that I can make more money for them. Besides, I get bored if there’s nothing to do. I like being busy.
工作狂
我通常醒大约在闹钟响前五分钟。当我听到我的闹钟，我从床上跳起来。洗，换衣服，吃早餐，我花了不到十五分钟，离开家上车。
我总是到办公室的第一人。早晨更忙！会议和电话花了一天中大部分的时间。每一天的每一分钟都充满了紧迫的问题。大约八点，我通常会找时间做我自己的文书工作和回答一些个人电子邮件。
当我回家时在十左右，我看了一些文件，我从办公室带回来，我可以准备一天的工作。我半夜才上床睡觉，当我的妻子和孩子们都已经睡着了。
我很少有时间和家人一起娱乐活动和其他活动。我的家人总是抱怨。但我努力工作，以便能为他们赚更多的钱。另外，我感到厌倦，如果没有做。我喜欢忙碌。
Lesson 4 City And Country
Debbie is an accountant in a large company in the centre of London. I need to be in my office by nine o?clock. I travel to work on “the tube”. That?s what people call the underground in London. It takes about fifty minutes. Usually, it?s so crowded that I can?t find anywhere to sit. I just stand. I?m always tired before I arrive at work. I don?t like the underground!
I speed all morning checking numbers. Lunch is always simple. I often get a sandwich in a nearby sandwich shop or I just have some biscuits and a cup of coffee. Then in the afternoon, I return to the paperwork in the office.
On Monday nights, I have dance classes, and on Wednesday nights, I go to the gym. I need to do that because I don?t get enough exercise otherwise. On Tuesdays and Thursday nights, I have
French classes. I work for a French company so I think studying French will help me in my job.
I go the cinema almost every weekend, Sometimes, if the weather forecast is good, my friends and I drive to the countryside for a weekend break. We like to visit nice, quiet places far away from the city and go walking where there are no shops, crowds or the tube. That fresh air is so good for my lings, I love it.
Paul lives in a small village in the north of England. I usually get up at four o?clock every morning when it?s still dark. I live and work on the farm so I don?t need to travel. After a big breakfast in my house, I work out of the front door and I?m already at work.
There are many things to do on the farm all day. We don?t have the same work hours that office workers In the city have. We do jobs when they need to be done and that could be early in the morning or late at night. I have cows, sheep, pigs and chickens on my farm. I have to make sure they are free of sickness. I also grow wheat and vegetables so there are many things to look after.
In the evening, I like to play with my children. I have two children, a
