Weekdays and weekends Text one Nowadays I have a really relaxed daily routine, It wasn’t always so.My day usually starts at half past five, when the alarm clock goes off and we have to get up because my husband goes to work quite early. These days it’s him who makes coffee and brings it to me to bed, so when he has finished getting ready and packing and goes to work at about six, I usually go back to sleep till seven, when it’s my turn to get up.I usually have a shower in the morning, but the first thing I have to do is to feed the cat, everything can only come after that. So I usually have a shower, get dressed and organized and have breakfast. Sometimes I go to the shop to buy fresh rolls and milk for breakfast, but most of the time I do my shopping in the afternoon. My older daughter lives at home, so we usually have breakfast together and then I go to work. I start work at 8.30, so I start at about 8 and cycle to work. It is very different when I finish work, but one thing is certain, I have private students at home. On my way home I usually do the shopping and when I get home I have something for lunch. This can be leftovers from the day before or just a sandwich or something like this. My daughter works in the afternoon so she is usually out by the time I get home. Then I do some housework, and start cooking dinner. All my afternoon activities depend on how many private students I have for the day. My husband finishes work at four then he comes home and we have dinner together. My daughter comes home at about six, so she has dinner later. In the evening we finish whatever housework there is to be finished, my husband usually watches Tv, but I don’t like it too much, rather I chat with my daughter or talk to my younger daughter on the phone, or listen to music or play computer games. I always read before bed. I go to bed quite early, between nine and ten. Weekends are not much different. After long years of getting up early one wakes up automatically, even without an alarm clock. We usually do the weekend cleaning on Saturday, and as my younger daughter comes home from college, I wash her clothes, and talk to her. Sometimes we have visitors and even more seldom we go to visit relatives or friends, but usually we stay in for the weekend and relax or catch up on the jobs we were unable to finish during the week.

Particular favorites were Dr. Seuss' On Beyond Zebra and "I Had Trouble Getting To Solla Sollew". If you're a parent you know what this means. You read the same story night after night after night until you want to accidentally drop that favorite book into the garbage disposal. I remember "Timmy the Tugboat" was another favorite that became quickly dog-eared after repeated readings. Not that it's a well-known childrens book. It was a favorite because one of the characters in the book had the same name as my older son. He loved seeing his name in a book. Like most children who have the same stories read to them time and again, they began filling in parts of the story by memory. After a while, this becomes part of the storytime ritual. You start a sentence, they finish it. Before you know it, they've memorized the entire book and can recite it from beginning to end. This was pretty well established in our house as well as what were the Once upon a time stories. Once upon a time stories were stories that I made up off the top of my head; for times when nobody could decide which story to read. These stories usually involved boys with (surprise!) the same names as my sons who went on fantastic adventures into the forest. I remember one night, I wasn't particularly in the mood to make up an entire story. You know the feeling. It's been a long day. You're tired. You just want the kids to go to sleep so you can have a quiet moment and an uninterrupted cup of tea! That's how our "Once upon a time, fill- in-the-blanks" ritual began. Questions How are your weekdays and weekends different? What is your favourite weekend activity? What do you like doing on weekday evenings? Do you have to get up early? How would you organize your days? Do you often go out? Does your daily routine change by the seasons? Do you do a lot of housework? Would you like to work from home? What would you like to spend more/less time on?

Post office and letter writing Text one When I was a child I had a lot of pen friends. The first two were a girl from East Germany and another girl from Russia. You could find addresses in the children’s magazines at that time, and I was eager to try my new knowledge of languages. As I have already mentioned, I could visit the girl in Germany, and she could visit us also, the following year, but I could never meet the Russian girl, though we corresponded for six or eight years. I sent her letters of invitation and everything that was needed for her visit, but she wasn’t granted a passport, and after a time she stopped writing letters. I don’t really know what happened to her. Maybe she simply lost interest. When I started learning English in the secondary school, I found pen-pals from all over the world. People my age may remember the magazine „Világ Ifjúsága”. This monthly magazine had a correspondence column, with addresses of adventurous young people from all over the world, so I wrote letters in English to many different countries. Actually, I spent half my pocket money on postal fees. But I enjoyed it. Later I had a penfriend from England also, and we exchanged long letters and my English rapidly improved.When I was a college student I had Polish pen friends and I practiced my Polish with them. I visited them and they visited me, so I had a nice time with them and I hope they enjoyed my company, too. Nowadays I don’t write ordinary letters, but I still have penfriends, only via Internet. E-mails are faster and more convenient. True, you cannot swap things, but you can send e-postcards and things like that. These days, I only go to the post office if I have some bill to pay. All my correspondence is done by e-mail. I suggest that everybody should have penfriends all over the world, because it’s a great way of meeting interesting people and in the age of online communications it is a very easy way to make your efforts of learning a language more efficient and rewarding.

MANY initial attempts at motivation letters are poor because the letters do not convey a sense of the individual. Instead, they are often stories: "Once upon a time I was born and had a childhood; I plan to go to university, start a great career, marry a prince or princess, and then live happily ever after. The End." Unfortunately, that tells the reader very little about you. Other initial attempts provide a laundry list of schools and activities. "I went to this prestigious school; I participated in that activity; I held this office in this club; I speak 10 different languages, sometimes simultaneously; this program in university is next on my checklist." Again, that tells very little about you, other than that you've been busy. Before you even begin to write your letter, think of who you are. What motivates you? What do you like and dislike? What brings you pleasure? What annoys you? What are you naturally good at? What are your weaknesses? You should also take a personality test to learn more about yourself. Now you have a better understanding of yourself. You know what your strengths and weaknesses are, you know what you like and dislike, and you know how your personality fits in with your career aspirations. Next, decide what your selling points will be.
Be very clear on what you want to achieve (e.g. get a nursing degree) Be very clear on what you will do with this degree (how do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years)? Why do you want to pursue your chosen career? You know the answer to this question from your strengths and weaknesses as well as from your personality profile. What have you done to prepare yourself for your chosen career? Here you are selling yourself. Use your prior information and your supporting evidence to bolster your position. Highlight anything that is extraordinary that needs to be taken into consideration. Questions Do you prefer writing ordinary letters or e-mail? Do you only telephone your friends and relatives or do you sometimes write letters? Have you ever sent a parcel by post? What other things can be done at a post-office? Is there a big post office in your place? What postal services do you think will still be in use in another 20 years? Do you know anyone who works for the post office? Have you ever thought about taking up a job at the post office? Have you ever written a formal letter? Why is it wise to send important letters registered?

Eating, meals and restaurants Text one Eating means a lot to me. I am and has always been overweight, but I don’t mind it now. There were times I wished I was just as skinny as everybody else, and I did stupid things to loose weight, but I never could reach the ideal, so I gave up attempting and accepted myself as I was. There was a great pressure on young people of my time to look fashionable and skinny, but I’m afraid the situation has even become worse during the years. Amyway, when I was a child, in my parents home you had to eat everything that was put on the table, so I can’t remember having food I didn’t like. I liked all kinds of vegetables, even spinach, it is still one of my favourites together with carrots, these were the things nobody liked in my family. My grandmother did the cooking and she was really good at it. She never had a job outside the home, so she had time to look after her home and ours as well, because my mother had a job, and she would have had a tough time without my grandmother’s help. I was interested in cooking at a very early age, so I learnt how to cook at the age of eight. Don’t think about basic food, like paprika potatoes or the like, me and my brother prepared the most complicated dishes we could find in the cookbooks. Ingredients were not a problem, we had a well-stocked pantry and chickens, so we had eggs and meat whenever we wished. We both have a sweet tooth, so we tried all the sweet things in the books with varying degrees of success, but my parents were wise and praised us for every dish we made, so we never lost our enthusiasm. I can’t remember eating out in restaurants as a child, but we often went to cake shops when visiting the nearby town, to have a vanilla cream-cake which was the top of luxury in my childhood. When I was a young person, and started my first job, I often had dinner in the restaurant near my home, because the prices were very reasonable, the dishes were tasty and I had just myself to cater for, so I didn’t bother about cooking. Later when I started a family, of course, I cooked at home, which was and still is a race with time, as I have always had a full-time job, private students, a house to look after and two children, so quite often I cook in the morning, but at weekends, when my husband is at home, it’s him who does the cooking. He likes it, and I welcome the change. Text two So I drove to the supermarket in Chalk Farm. It is used by people from Primrose Hill, so it must be OK. I started quite well. Up the vegetable aisles sniffing melons and squeezing tomatoes, even thinking of buying some green stuff (new girlfriend is vegetarian and occasionally eats such things). But then I got sentimental. My ex used to make me buy vegetables, and I suddenly remembered a particular afternoon when we had got back from shopping. Reaching into one of the carrier bags, I had pulled out some carrots, some leeks and a couple of lettuces. "Shall I chuck these now?" I had said, holding them over the kitchen bin and springing its jaw with the pedal, "or are we going to play that game where we put them in the fridge for a week and then throw them away?" I thought it was funny. But I'm pretty sure that it ended in tears. And now it was me on the verge of weeping in the aisles. Anyway, this was long-term shopping. No need for perishables. So I lined the trolley with the basics: ketchup, mustard, brown sauce, horseradish, mango chutney, pickled onions, pickled gherkins, pickled beetroot, mayonnaise, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, pepper, and headed for home. "One aisle?" the new girlfriend said when she came round later that afternoon. "You managed the contents of one aisle?" "Yes, I got sad, so I left. But it's an important aisle. Now whenever we cook something and it doesn't taste right, we can cover up the damage with the perfect condiment for every occasion." "Oh, for God's sake," she said, dragging me to the car. "Look, I'll help you." So she drove me to Bumble Bee, the local organic mini-chain with greengrocer, dairy, baker and dry-goods store. She was explaining how Green & Black's chocolate was the ideal purchase because it can be excused as a baking essential while doubling as a late-night snack, when my attention wandered. The shop's radio was playing Elton John's 'The Circle of Life' from The Lion King, a film I had seen with the old girlfriend. "I'm not hungry any more," I said. "Let's go." "Not the Lion King thing again?" she said. "You know, you deserve to starve, you really do." And she was probably right. The George and Dragon, Swallowfield is a beautiful, relaxed country pub serving real ales, real wine and serious food. The pub and restaurant eating areas are quite large, each decorated in traditional country pub style, with warm earthy tones, natural wood and exposed beams. The menu has a good choice of rich dishes and there is an additional specials board to widen the choice further. Starters include king prawn skewers with a sweet chilli dip and main courses feature five cheese tortellini with asparagus and parmesan, pan-fried red snapper, lamb steak with bacon. The food is delicious, and more extravagant in taste than most pub food. Presentation is faultless and staff are both friendly and attentive. The garden is perfect for summer and there are picturesque countryside views from the garden surrounding the pub. Overall, a charming pub with great food and great service, with excellent attention to detail Yüklə 0,87 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
