3.4 Текст

A busy day

Every day at half past eight Mr. Hanson leaves his house in Church Street and drives to work. It takes him about twenty minutes to get to his office. He usually arrives there at about ten to nine. His secretary, Mary Summers, is always at the office when Mr. Hanson comes. She has a small office next door to Mr. Hanson’s and there she types the letters. Mr. Hanson gives her to answer.

Mr. Hanson is the Managing Director of a large publishing company which publishes a lot of technical books and magazines and sells them all over the world.

Mr. Hanson’s office is quite large and it is well furnished.

Today Mr. Hanson is rather angry. He is sitting at his desk and arguing with someone on the telephone. While Mr. Hanson is on the telephone, Mary Summers brings him a cup of coffee. Mary is a good secretary. A good secretary has to learn a lot about her boss. She must know how to talk to customers on the telephone and in the office and must also arrange both business and social engagements. Today, for example, Mary knows that Mr. Hanson has to see a customer from China at 11 o’clock and another customer from Hong Kong at midday. At one-fifteen Mr. Hanson is to have lunch with two of the office managers from overseas branches of the

company. Then at three-thirty he has to finish writing a letter concerning the following year’s publishing programme. It is Mary’s job to remind Mr. Hanson about the appointments at 11 o’clock and midday, to book a table at a restaurant in the town for the lunch engagement and to take notes from Mr. Hanson for several business letters.

On the way home Mr. Hanson thinks about the day at the office and makes a note in his diary about some of the business he has to do.

Victor usually gets up at 7 a.m. he does his morning exercises for twenty minutes, takes a long shower, has a big breakfast and leaves for work at 8 o’clock. He usually drives his car to work and gets there at 8.30.

This morning, however, he didn’t get up at 7 a.m. he got up at 6 a.m. he didn’t do his morning exercises for 20 minutes. He did them for only 5 minutes. He didn’t take a long shower. He took a very quick shower. He didn’t have a big breakfast. He had only a cup of coffee. He didn’t leave for work at 8 o’clock. He left for work at 7.

Victor rushed out of the house an hour earlier this morning because his car is at the repair shop and he had to take the bus. He walked a mile from his house to the centre of the town. He waited 15 minutes for the bus. And after he got off the bus, he walked half a mile to his factory.

Even though Victor got up early today and rushed out of the house this morning, he didn’t get to work on time. He was 45 minutes late and his boss got angry and shouted at him.
