What a mess today! I kept my friend waiting for a long time in the sports department store because the traffic was terrible I altered my way. It turned out that I lost my way.

My friend wasn’t angry with me but I suddenly realized that I hadn’t expressed my thankfulness to the women in the red shirt.

Miss Green is a typist and she commutes to work every day. Yesterday she arrived at the office a few minutes before 9 o’clock. She took off her hat and coat and put them on the hook on the wall. Then she went to her desk, took the cover off the computer, sat down and began to type. At half past twelve, Miss Green stopped work and went out to lunch with a friend at a restaurant. After lunch she returned to the office and worked until five o’clock. She got home at about a quarter to six. She went into the bath room, washed her hands and then went into the sitting-room. She turned on the television and watched the six o’clock news. She ate a square meal and went out to cinema. That was a normal day in her life.
