M1 U1 L1 A Perfect Day
Passage 1 A Couch Potato
Forty-three-year-old Brian Blakey from Birmingham is sitting on his sofa and telling me about his perfect day.
[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 biscuits 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新装修的房子放什么植物, 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 play on BBC 2, 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 every afternoon. I don't go far, of course小升初分数. 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.
Passage 2 A Workaholic
Thirty-six-year-old Bob Black is sitting at his desk and working his way through his paperwork.
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 get to the office. The mornings are always very busy and the afternoons are even busier! Meetings and phone calls 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-mails.
[When I get home at about ten], I look at山东省内大学排名 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].

But I try to work hard [良辰好景知几何更新时间so that I can make more money for them]. Besides, I get 决战人工智能密码bored [if there's nothing to do]. I like being busy.
U1 L4 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 [so I usually get up at seven 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 兰州疫情最新消息1小时内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 spend 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 Tuesday and Thursday nights, I have French classes. I work for a French company[ so I think studying French will help me in my job].
