Unit 7 Lesson 2

Part B

Listen to this woman talking about her routine⁹.

What's her score on the questionnaire?

Well ,I usually get to the office by about nine.

I always mean to get there earlier,but I never quite manage it.

On a normal day,I work until about five.

But if we have an important meeting--

and that's once or twice a month-I work later,until seven or eight at night.

I get 30 days' holiday a year,so I'm very lucky.

I usually try to take a long holiday in the summer,you know,three or four weeks.

Then I like to travel,to go away and see something different.

And I always take a week in February.

I go skiing then.

Unfortunately,I don't have time to exercise during the week,

although if the weather's nice,I go for a walk at lunchtime.

But I cycle or play tennis most weekends.

And in the winter I go skiing.I think I'm organized.

You have to be in my job.I go to an Italian course once a week after work.

The other evenings I meet friends.

We go to the cinema,or to a bar or restaurant.

Well,I don't smoke,but I do drink a lot of coffee.

I think I'm a very calm person.

I don't worry and I don't get angry very easily.

Do I ever think of changing my job?

Well,I don't think I'll stay here for ever,but I'm quite happy at the moment.
