From Monday to Friday, Victor wakes up at seven o’clock. He stays
in bed until a quarter past seven, and then he gets up. Then he has a
shower. After that, he gets dressed and goes downstairs to have breakfast.
At exactly eight o’clock he leaves his house and drives to work.
Before arriving to the office, he stops to buy his daily newspaper. He
turns on his computer at eight-forty-five and works “non-stop”
until ten-thirty.
At ten-thirty, he usually has a coffee until ten forty-five. Unfortunately,
today is Friday, the busiest day of the week. Victor is having his coffee
at his desk. Normally, he finishes at three o’ clock on Fridays;
however, Victor thinks he is not leaving the office until five or six
o’ clock today. To cheer himself up, Victor starts thinking about
the weekend.
Tomorrow is Saturday and Victor has some plans. He is getting up very
late, about ten o’clock. He is having a late breakfast with his
girlfriend in the café. Then they are visiting the art gallery,
Carol Ashe, the famous artist, is exhibiting her latest sculpture.
After visiting the art gallery they are having lunch in a new restaurant in the centre of town. After lunch, they are going for a walk and then in the evening they are going to the cinema.
On Sunday, they normally stay in bed reading the newspapers, but this
Sunday they are going for a walk in the mountains with some friends. It's
three hours to reach the top and two and a half hours to come down. They
are having a picnic at the top of the mountain and Victor is looking forward
to enjoying the view, the peace and, of course, not being in the office.
Suddenly, the telephone rings and Victor is once again back in reality.
His boss says, “Victor you are working until five or six o’clock
today.” Victor looks at the clock and it is still only eleven o’clock.
