READING PART 2
My journey to work
Marta
I travel to work by train. When I first started, I left home at eight and hurried to get
to work by nine. I was never late, but I didn’t enjoy hurrying. So now I make sure
I’m out of the house by seven thirty. I go slowly, buy a coffee and chat to people in
the coffee shop. On the train I use my phone to send emails, which saves time
when I get to the office.
Gia
I usually have to run to the station to catch my train – I should probably plan my
mornings better and get up earlier! My train isn’t busy, and it’s nice to be on my
own for a while, just to think or read a book. I know lots of people play games or
read the news on their phones, but I just check mine quickly when I get to work.
And I don’t work on the train – I’m a nurse, so I can’t do that!
Rosa
I like to read about what’s happening around the world, so I use the internet to do
that when I’m on the train – usually on my phone. I can’t really work on the train,
but I make a list of the things I have to do when I get to work, and I think about
what I’m going to do first. The worst kind of day for me is when there are delays on
the trains, and I arrive after the time I should. That makes me really angry.
