If you are a student and have to earn extra money, your daily routine can be very busy. The young person from this conversation seems to be in that position. Every Monday he gets up at five o’clock in the morning because he has to be at Eddie’s Diner at six o’clock. He washes dishes there until two o’clock. Then he goes home and sleeps for an hour. After that he rides his bike in the park. In the evening he has dinner with his friends and then goes to his Spanish class. He tells his friend that sometimes he likes being so busy and sometimes he doesn’t.

Holidays
Training
3
Bob’s
favourite holiday is any holiday that gives him a long time off
school. The summer break doesn’t count because it’s not for a
holiday. He says that Easter is his favourite, he really likes
hunting for Easter eggs. His whole family makes Easter eggs and hides
them, then all the children look for them. Tim prefers New Year’s
Eve. He loves staying up late and watching one year change into the
next. And he doesn’t mind drinking champagne.
Seasons
and Weather
Training 3
Fred
asks Paul about the coldest place he has travelled to. Paul answers
that it was Finland. He was in Finland in January and it was minus 20
degrees. He had to wear about six layers of clothing. He went skiing
and ice skating on frozen rivers. It was lots of fun. He also went to
saunas. It was perfect weather for saunas. They drank Finnish vodka
and sweated. He would like to go to Finland again but only in summer.
Household
Chores
Training
3
Nick
phones his mother and asks her to come to his house. His house is
very dirty and he wants his mother to help him clean it. Nick’s
mother refuses to come because she is very tired. She tells her son
that he is fifty-one years old and he can do the housework himself.
But Nick doesn’t know how to do it. His wife can’t do it either,
because she is ill and has to stay in bed. His children are at the
beach with Uncle Butch. His cleaning lady won the lottery and now she
doesn’t clean houses and Nick can’t find a new cleaning lady. In
the end Nick’s mother agrees to come. She tells him that he is a
baby, but he is her baby.
Health and Medical Care
Training
3
Jane
doesn’t feel well. She has a headache and her throat hurts. Linda
tells her that she should go home and rest. But Jane says that she
has no time to be ill. She has to go to rehearsal. She is in a play
and it’s very important for her to be there. Linda doesn’t think
that it’s a good idea. She tells her that if she goes to rehearsal
when she is sick, she will make herself worse. She advises her to go
home, lies down, drink lots of juice and tea and eat lots of garlic.
Jane is worried that if she doesn’t rehearse, the play will be
terrible. Linda explains to her that if she rehearses today, she
might become more sick. And if she gets worse, maybe there will be no
play for her. Besides, if she goes today, she might give the cold to
the other actors. In this case there really won’t be any play.
Friendship
Training 3
Susan
is asking Jenny to double date for her. Jenny refuses to do that, but
Susan insists because she thinks that Jenny owes her. She lent Jenny
her new dress for a date. Jenny says that lending a dress is
different from asking her to double date. Susan pleads with Jenny to
help her. She doesn’t know Todd, her date, very well and she is
worried that they won’t have much in common. She promises Jenny
that if she doesn’t like her date, Luke, they will go home. In the
end Jenny agrees to go, but she wants to borrow that new dress again
and the shoes too.

My Working Day
There
are five working days in a week. I work eight hours a day. Work
starts at 8 and finishes at 5 o’clock. I come home at 6 o’clock.
My working day is long and tiring. There is always a lot of work. I
phone our clients and answer the phone calls. I also type price lists
and do other office work. The lunch break is from 1 to 2 p.m. I can
have short coffee breaks, too. I have a comfortable working space.
There are five people in the office. We usually meet at the end of
the day. We discuss our results then. The meeting is starting now.

Public Holidays
We
haven’t got many public holidays. We have got about eight of them.
March 15, August
20, October 23, Christmas and Easter are public holidays in Hungary.
They are days-off. We don’t work then. People stay at home with
their families. They can travel or go hiking. They can visit their
relatives. There are often fireworks on holidays. Children like them.
Christmas and Easter are my favourite holidays. There are some old
Christmas and Easter traditions. We give each other nice presents at
Christmas. We paint eggs at Easter. Christmas is coming now!

Household chores
Nobody
likes household chores, but everybody has to do them. Household
chores are boring. But they are very important. I just hate them. I
have a lot of household chores. And my boyfriend hasn’t got any.
There are always a lot of dirty dishes after dinner. And we haven’t
got a dishwasher. So I usually do the washing-up after dinner.
Sometimes there is dust on the furniture. So I dust the furniture
every week. Fortunately, I have a washing machine. So I never do the
washing by hand. I don’t vacuum, either. So, after all, my
boyfriend has one household chore.
9.
Colds and Flu
Colds
and flu are dangerous. They are a real problem during winter. A lot
of people get flu or a cold then. You can catch flu on a bus or even
in the hospital. If you catch a cold, you cough, sneeze and even have
a fever. You can’t work with flu. You can’t even visit your
friends. You can spend a week in bed or more when you have the flu.
You drink hot tea. You take medicine. There are a lot of medicines
for colds and flu. But they don’t work. At least, they don’t help
me. Fortunately, I don’t catch colds very often. And I don’t have
a cold now.
15.
Friends
There
are a lot of good people in the world. There are some really nice
people. They are my friends. Friends are important. I have got a lot
of good friends. They are very helpful. We can talk, dance, eat out
and listen to music together. I can tell my friends anything. Friends
can always help you. My best friend’s name is Diana. She can dance
very well. She has got dark eyes and a nice smile. We have got the
same hobbies and interests. I often phone and e-mail my friends.
Unfortunately, we don’t meet very often now.
