UNIT 1 ALL IN A DAY’S WORK

●● Do you go to college? What are you studying?●● Do you work? What do you do?

Sally is twenty-seven years old and she lives in London. She shares a ground floor flat with herfriend, Fran. They are both teachers at a secondary school in Enfield. Sally teaches maths and Franteaches PE. They both enjoy their jobs tremendously, but sometimes the children can be a bitnoisy, so they have to make sure that they do not let things get out of hand. Sally always has apile of work to mark, so she often feels exhausted. She does not mind, though, because shefirmly believes that she plays a vital role in the children’s education. Fran does not have tomark work, of course, but she often has to stay late at school to supervise the school teams’training sessions. For this reason, she normally gets home later than Sally. Unfortunatelyfor Sally and Fran, a teacher does not receive a very good salary, so they both do someextra teaching to make more money. Every Monday and Wednesday, Sally has lessonswith two young boys. She tutors them because they are not very good at maths. Franworks as an aerobics teacher at the local sports centre at weekends.

Today is Monday, the beginning of another hectic week. It is seven o’clock andSally is getting ready for work. Fran is not going to work, however. She is off worktoday because she has a dental appointment. She has a bad tooth which is caus-ing her a lot of pain. At the moment, Sally is in the kitchen making her breakfast.She always eats a good breakfast because she finds it works wonders for her.Most mornings, she has cereal, toast, juice and a cup of coffee. After breakfast,she washes and dresses, and then leaves her flat at ten to eight. This is becauseshe catches the eight o’clock bus to go to the school. Her journey takes her abouttwenty minutes, if there isn’t any traffic, that is.

At the bus stop:SALLY: Good morning, Mr Patel. Are you going into town again?

MR PATEL: Yes, Sally. I’m meeting my friend at Selfridges. We go there once a month. Wedo some shopping and then we have lunch in the restaurant.

SALLY: Lovely. Oh, look! The bus is coming. See you later.

At school:SALLY: Oh dear! The bell is ringing and I’m not ready. I’ve got year eight now. Look

at the time. I’m late as usual!

In the classroom:SALLY: Good morning, class.

PUPILS: Good morning, Miss.SALLY: Okay, today we are going to do some revision. Get out your exercise

books and pens, and look at the board. As you know, you’re having atest next week. Please listen carefully.

PUPIL: Excuse me, Miss. We’re not taking the test next Monday, are we? It’s abank holiday. Schools never open on a bank holiday.

SALLY: Don’t worry! I usually give you a test on Monday, but next week you’redoing the test on Thursday.

Grammar

We use the present progressive for1 an action which is in progress at or around the time of speaking.

Look! It is raining. Tom is learning Spanish this year.2 arranged actions in the near future.

We’re leaving on Saturday.NOTE:hit - hitting begin - beginning travel - travelling take - taking die - dying

■ Some verbs express a state rather than an action and so they do not usually have a progressive form. For example,hear, see, smell, remember, think, know, understand, believe, like, dislike, love, want, hate, need, etc.

It smells very nice. [NOT: It is smelling ...]I think he’s a good teacher. [NOT: I’m thinking ...] BUT: He is thinking of going to Australia.

NOTE:She is having lunch now. (= is eating) He is having wine with his dinner tonight. (= is drinking)They are having a test next week. (= are doing)

Present Progressive [I am working]

We use the simple present for 1 an action that happens usually, often, always, etc.

Henry often flies to Scotland to see his daughter. Does he ever travel by train? Water boils at 100ÆC.NOTE: I rarely / seldom / never drink coffee. [NOT: I rarely / seldom / never don’t drink ...]

2 something planned for the future, especially with timetables, programmes, etc.Her flight to London leaves in an hour.
