VII. Retell this text on behalf of a) Nicole; b) her friend. Nicole’s day*

I
get up at six o’clock. Usually I do my morning exercises. Sometimes I
jog in the yard when it is warm. But my sister Lisa dances
to music
in the morning to
awaken.
After that I go to the bathroom and take a shower and comb my hair.
Then I come back to my bedroom and dress. I put on my favourite
jeans, socks, a blouse and a
jumper.
My sister gets
ready
for
school. Usually she wears a black blazer
and
trousers
or a skirt
with a blouse
of some light colour. Every morning Mum makes our breakfast. She
makes tea for Daddy and herself, brews
coffee
for Lisa and me and makes sandwiches
for the family. The coffee is hot and strong. I like it black
and Lisa prefers
(предпочитает)
white. After breakfast I put my papers into my case,
put on my coat and hat, say goodbye to Mum, Daddy and Lisa and leave
the house for work at seven. I work far from my home and get to work
by bus. Mum does not work; she keeps
the house.
Daddy and Lisa go
out
later. Daddy’s office and Lisa’s school are not far from our house.
So they leave the house at half past seven.

I
am a manager, so every day I have a lot of work to do. I meet with
different people, write letters to the firms, make reports
for my boss and do many other things. At one o’clock I have lunch.
For lunch I go to one cafe near the office. Usually I have lunch with
my colleagues.
At two the work begins again. I work five days a week from Monday to
Friday. Every day I come to work by eight and finish
at five.

After
work I go to the Institute four times a week. I am a part-time
student.
I study English and Management. I want to become a specialist
in
management.
So I get
home
only at ten. I have supper, talk with my parents and Lisa. Sometimes
I watch TV in the evening, if there is something interesting on –
some
gossip about famous people,
a horror
or action
film or
a melodrama.
But usually I do my homework and help Lisa with her lessons. I’m
sorry I practically don’t help
about the house.
I simply have no time. But at weekends I vacuum the carpets and go
shopping with Mum or Lisa to carry heavy bags.

At
twelve I go to bed. I’m
dog-tired
and fall down onto my sofa and sleep
all night like a log.

VIII. Read this text and answer the questions. An awful day of Nancy Lee*

Everything
was awful since the very morning. The alarm clock did not ring and I
did not get up in time. When I had a look at the clock hanging on the
wall opposite my bed I was in horror. It was almost eight and I had
to be at work at half past eight. I ran around my flat like a March
hare.
In a moment I took a shower and dressed. I put on my favourite jeans
and an old black sweater instead
of
my navy-coloured
suit with a snow-white
blouse and a striped
red-and-white tie.
It was a mistake. My boss preferred us to be beautiful like
top-models. It was a great luck that my hair was clean. I quickly did
my hair into
a
ban.
Of course, there was no time to have any breakfast. I put on my fur
coat and
hat and high
boots.
When I got out of my house it was 07.20. It took me about ten minutes
to get to work on foot. But yesterday it
was snowing
and very slippery.
So, I got to my office only at 08.40. My boss was angry, because he
wanted some papers from me to work with. I looked for them for
several minutes and at last gave them to him. Then I had to type
some letters, phone his business partners, bring a cup of coffee and
sandwiches and do a lot of other stupid things. I had no time to
snack till eleven when my boss went to the meeting of all managers of
the firm. So I drank two cups of strong tea and ate several
sandwiches without any haste. I even had some time to chat
with other secretaries. But at 12.30. my boss came back and I started
my running again. By five I was dog-tired. When I left the office I
did not remember I had to buy food. And only at home when I saw my
empty fridge
I understood – no supper for me, for my husband and my cat. I
sighed,
again put on the coat and the hat, and dragged
myself to the nearest shop. It was the only lucky moment that day –
in half an hour I had a bag full of foodstuff. At home I ran to the
kitchen and started cooking. By seven, when my husband came home,
everything was ready. Of course, my cat got its fish the first. But
my husband did not like my supper. The fish was not as tasty as his
mother’s, he wanted not the rice but pasta and to that the coffee was
not strong and hot. We quarrelled after supper. To all those troubles
I broke
my favourite cup. So, at last, I sat on the chair in the kitchen and
cried for a long time.

You
see, life is striped – a lucky period and an unlucky one. And you
have to
cope with all
these small and large unpleasant moments. With a bright smile.
Because other people have a lot of their own troubles. And it’s
unfair
to add your problems to theirs.

Smile
– if you can (but you must) and everything will be OK.

And
really, this morning, with a smile, is quite the other thing.
