Exercise 001 PET
Talk together about the different places the class could visit and decide
which trip the class would enjoy most.
B Food
I have coffee and cereal for breakfast, then have a light lunch1, maybe a
sandwich and an apple, and a snack2 in the afternoon. We have our main meal
in the evening. If Mum’s late home from work, she doesn’t bother3 to cook; we
just get a takeaway4 instead. One of us has to feed5 the cat as well.

C Bathroom routines
I usually have a shower when I get home from
college because my sister, Rosie, and my brother,
Marcus, spend so much time in the bathroom in
the morning. I only have time to have a wash and
clean my teeth (syn brush my teeth), before Rosie
comes in to put on a bit of make-up. In the winter I
sometimes have a bath instead of1 a shower. I like
to lie in the bath and listen to music. Marcus having Rosie putting

ironing, and I sometimes do the shopping with Mum.

On weekdays I usually stay in1 and watch TV in the evening. At the weekend I go out

Reply Forward
Hi, Jean,
We’re so glad we decided to take a holiday here. Yesterday we took a trip to
the mountains. First we took a train to a little town and then we took a bus
going to various villages and got off when we saw one that we took a liking
to. Of course, we were taking a risk as we didn’t know exactly what we’d find
there. But we were lucky. Some kids took an interest in us and showed us
some great places. We took a lot of photos.
Have you done anything yet about your job? I’d take a chance and leave if I
were you. No point in staying somewhere where the boss has taken a dislike
to you! Take advantage of being in London – there are always plenty of jobs
there. You’ll soon find something else, so take action, that’s my advice! Good
luck!
