Page 6 - Exercise 1

Sunday afternoon.

What are you going to do for your work experience, Mike?

I’m going to work in a newspaper office. I want to be a reporter when I leave school. What about you?

I’m going to work in a restaurant - you know, The Old Barn.

Oh, right.

Lily’s going to work in a hotel.

Yes, I know.

What’s Andy going to do?

I don’t know. Anyway, here he is with Lily. We’ll ask him.

Work experience? I’ve got no idea. It will be boring anyway.

No, it won’t. I think it will be good fun.

And we won’t have any homework or tests for a week.

That’s true, I suppose. I can practise more for my tennis tournaments.

Anyway, Mr Bray is going to talk to us about it next week.

And you have to tell him what you’re going to do.

Or he’ll find something for you. And it will probably be in a bank or something, and you won’t like that.

He isn’t going to talk to us till Thursday. I’ll find something good before then.

How will you do that?

I don’t know yet.

Later.

Well, I think it’s time to go home.

Yes. Are you going to get the bus?

Yes, I am.

OK. I’ll come with you.

Hang on a minute. Is anybody going to watch the basketball match at the sports centre this evening?

I can’t. I’m going to do my Geography project.

Me, too. Anyway, I don’t really like basketball.

What about you, Mike?

No. I’m going to do the Science homework.

Oh yes, I forgot about that. But I’ll do it later, after the match. It won’t take long.
