At 7:50 in the morning, Jorgen Persson starts work in his office in Copenhagen, but
he isn´t Danish and he doesn´t live in Denmark. He lives in Sweden and every day he
travels from his home in one country to his office in another. How long does the
journey take? “It takes one and a half hours, from door to door”, says Jorgen. He
leaves home at 6:20, takes the bus to Malmo train station, and gets the train at 6:49.
The train travels to Copenhagen via the bridge that links Sweden and Denmark.
From the station he gets a bus to his office. Does he find the journey stressful? “No,
not really. Doing the same journey by car every day is stressful, but on the train I can
do some work and read the newspaper.” What time does he arrive back in Sweden
in the evening? “I try to leave my office at 5:00. During the day I have only fifteen or
twenty minutes for lunch so that´s usually possible .Then I get back home at 6:30.”

A private conversation
Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting.
I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. they
were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I
looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end,
I could not bear it. I turned round again. “ I can´t hear a word!” I said angrily.
“It´s none of your business”, the young man said rudely. “This is a private
conversation”!
