Brittany Davis college student
“My classes all start at 8:00a.m, so I get up at 7:00, eat a quick breakfast
and take the bus to the university. In the afternoon, I have a job at the
library. My only time to study is in the evening, from eight until midnight. I
work at the library on Saturdays, too. But on Saturday nights I stay out late,
and on Sundays I sleep until noon”
Joshua Burns Web-Site Designer
“I design Web sites for small companies. I’m self-employed, so I work at
home. I get up at 6:30 and go for a run before breakfast. I’m at my
computer by 8:00, and I work until 6:00 p.m. Around one o’clock, I take a
lunch break, and I “surf the Net” to look at other Web sites. I work hard –
sometimes I work all night to finish a project. But I never work on
weekends”
Maya Black Rock Musician
“I go to work at ten o’clock in the evening, and I play until 3:00 a.m. I take

Dear John,
How are you? I’m still working on a farm, but fortunately I am going to leave
here at the end of Winter. Let me tell you why.
We had a terrible time a month ago. Thousands of insects came and ate many
of the crops in the fields. The farmer is very worried because he thinks the insects
will come again and destroy all the crops. He became so worried that he sold the
farm last week, and that is why I have to leave here.
Soon I will have to look for another job. Do you think you could help me find
one? I like working on farmers, so if you know anyone who needs a hard worker,
please recommend me to them. I know that you are very busy at the moment and
that you don’t have much free time. But I really hope you can find time to help me. I
don’t know what else to do.
If I can’t find a job, I’ll have to go back home and stay with my parents I know
they would be very upset if I did that. They are old and they don’t have much money.
They couldn’t support me as well as themselves.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Your friend,
David.
