I’m going for a walk
Bill: Hello, Mary. Why are you standing here in the cold wind?
Mary: I’m waiting for a bus, but the buses are very full at this time of the day.
Bill: Where are you going? This isn’t your way home. You must take a bus from the other side of the street to go
home.
Mary: But I’m not going home now. I’m going for a walk in the park. Bill: Going for a walk in such cold weather? Mary: I always like to go for a walk before supper.
Bill: I see. Then why are you going by bus? Why not go to the park on foot? It isn’t very far from here.
Mary: I know, Bill. But it isn’t very interesting to walk through the street. In fact, it’s very boring. So I always take a
No. 3 bus to go to the park.

Billy’s Daily Routine
Hi, I’m Billy. I’m a student at the London School of Economics. I’m at school most of the day. My first class usually starts at 9 and lasts one or two hours. I go straight to my next class, or sometimes I go to the library, or I chat with my friends. At lunch time we often buy something to eat from the student canteen—pizza, hot dogs, fried rice, sandwiches. The food is always good and cheap. In the afternoon I have more classes ---- for two or three hours. I always go to my classes, but some of my friends skip their classes. In the evening I usually get together with some of my friends. We sometimes go to a restaurant, or we cook a meal in someone’s flat, or we occasionally go out for a drink. We never go to expensive places. We seldom go to concerts or lectures, but most of the time we just relax.

How Steve Spends His Early Morning Hours
I get up as late as I possibly can and jump in and out of the shower. I put on the trousers I had on yesterday and take a shirt out of the wardrobe --- it doesn’t matter which one as long as it’s ironed. I find the jacket that goes with the trousers, look down and check that my socks match and that’s it. Nearly all my clothes are either green or brown because I’ve been told that they are the only colors that suit me. So I never really have to worry about what I go with. The important thing is to make sure I have enough time to listen to the traffic and weather program before I leave for work.
