Hi! My name is Javier. Every day, I wake up at 5:00 am. I get up at 5:10 am, I
make my bed, then I go to the bathroom, and I take a shower. After the shower,
I go to the bedroom and put my clothes on. First, I put on my underwear, then
my jeans, my socks, my shoes, my belt, and finally my T-shirt.
When I’m ready, I go to the kitchen. I say good morning to my mother, and I kiss
her. My mother prepares my breakfast, and she packs my lunch to go to work. I eat breakfast in
10 minutes. After breakfast, I go to the bathroom again, and I brush my
teeth.
At 6:30 am, I go to work. I work in an office. I’m an accountant. I really

love my job. I work from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. After work, I go to the gym. I
spend two hours training every day.
I arrive home at 8:30 pm. I take a shower and sit on the sofa to watch
TV. While I watch TV, I usually eat a sandwich with milk. I go to bed at
10:00 pm, but sometimes, I go to bed at 11:00 pm.
As you can see, all my weekdays are the same, but I try to live my life to

and they’re planning to go to the movies. There’s a new horror
movie being released, and they want to watch it. They like

feels upset when he doesn’t know how to do some of the exercises or
when he doesn’t understand a lesson. He always understands the
lessons. Sometimes people ask him for help, and he helps them; he
never says no to his classmates. He hardly ever needs help, but when
he needs it, I help him.
3. Alicia is Sad today, she’s crying and she doesn’t want to do

anything. Her boyfriend Frank is talking with her because he
wants to know why she is so sad. She is telling him she wants to
go out to the shopping mall, but she never has money. She says
she needs to buy a new jacket because her old jackets are dirty. She
never washes them because she doesn’t like to wash her clothes. Her mother always washes
them for her. Frank is surprised by this, and he thinks Alicia needs a psychologist.

different things every day. When she’s sad, I’m happy; when she is thirsty,
I’m hungry; when I cry, she smiles; when I’m hot, she’s cold; when I want
to sleep, she wants to watch TV. I never understand her, and she never

I love her and she loves me.

Kansas City. He has a lot of things to do every day, but all the things he has to do
are the same day by day.

more minutes, and when the alarm rings for the second time, he gets up at once.

hot water is not good for a busy day. At 5:10 am, he gets dressed. He puts on his underwear, his
pants, his socks, his shoes, and finally his shirt. It takes him twenty minutes to get dressed.
At 5:30 he goes to the kitchen and prepares his breakfast; he doesn’t like to have breakfast at

at 10:05, and it finishes at 11:45 am. When he leaves the classroom, he immediately goes to the
cafeteria and buys his lunch, because he only has 20 minutes to eat.
When he finishes his lunch, he is ready to go to work; so he has to walk 7 blocks to get to the
metro station. From the metro station to his office, it takes him 35 minutes, and he must be in his
office by 12:45 pm; which means, he must run from the metro station to his office to be on time.
Mr. Busy works all day from 1:00 pm to 9:30 pm, and when he finishes his busy day at work, he
has to take a bus home; sometimes he gets the bus at 9:35 pm, and sometimes he gets the bus at
9:40 pm.
When Mr. Busy gets home, he greets his wife, daughter, mother, both brothers, and his sister.
His wife makes him dinner and they talk about their day while they eat together.
Every night, before going to sleep; Mr. Busy dedicates some time playing with his one-month old
baby girl; when she falls asleep, he writes some sentences in his English book.

Exercise 9
Listen carefully and fill in the blanks with the missing words; besides, underline the unknown
words, and try to guess their meaning.
VISITING MEDELLIN
Hello! I’m Frank. I live in a very nice region of Colombia, its name is Antioquia, it’s like a state, but in
Colombia we don’t have states, we have departments; what means, I live in the Department of Antioquia.
I’m Colombian, but people from our department are often called “Paisas”; what means I’m totally Paisa,
and I’m proud of it.
In Antioquia, there are many beautiful places, towns, and cities that you can visit, beginning with the
capital city, Medellin. Medellin is full of friendly people everywhere. There are a lot of shopping malls
and touristic places.
If you like culture, concerts, and have fun, you can come to Medellin in August, because there is a week
in which Medellin has a lot of events around the city. The popular name of that event in the city is “La
feria de las flores”. In “La feria de las flores” you can go to a lot of musical shows, you can go to the
cavalcade, in which you can find a lot of beautiful women and horses of all types, sizes, and colors. You
can also see the parade of “Silleteros” which is a Paisa word used to refer to those people who have a
“silleta” on their backs with hundreds of flowers making different pictures with them. A “silleta” is
something like a flat table or a flat board with styrofoam on it, where all the flowers are introduced to
represent something.
If you like flowers and nature, you can go to the Botanical Garden. In there, you can find hundreds of
different flowers, besides there is a nice space for relaxing and breathing fresh air. If you like excitement,
you can go the North Park; it’s an amusement park next to the Botanical garden with many attractions
and games for children and adults. If you like arts, you can visit Botero’s Museum; in there, you can find
a lot of works of art of him and many others from other people.
If you want to go around the city, you can do it just by getting into the metro system. Metro system
includes many different transportation vehicles, like: buses, metro, and cable cars. The cable car is a
small cabin which goes from one station to another hanging by a cable on the air, sometimes the cabins
reach 50 meters high or even more. If you’re afraid of heights, you don’t have to go there, you can stay
in one of the stations and wait for your friends, while they go up to the cable car.
As many tourists come to Medellin, the government implemented a transportation mean for tourists,
it’s called “Turi- Bus”. Turi – bus takes you around the city in a bus, and many other touristic places.
There’s a guide on board showing you and explaining to you the most interesting places in our city.
As you can see, there are a lot things to do in Medellin, but there are even more things to do and to
see in all those beautiful towns that Medellin, Antioquia, and Colombia have.
Come on and visit us!

Exercise 10
THE CIRCUS
Hello! I’m Kevin. In my city there’s a circus. Every year, the circus visits my city, and a lot of people
go to see the spectacular shows that the circus offers.
My best friend Maria, tells me I have to go to the circus to see the shows. She says there’s a man
who can jump the rope on an elephant’s back. She also says, there are 5 white tigers and the trainer
puts his head into the tigers’ mouths, and they do not move. Even the same man puts his head into
a crocodile’s mouth, it’s awesome. People are scared of that and they shout of fear, but at the end
they clap of happiness.
The owner of the circus is an old man, he is amazing. He can do many different tricks. He can go
along the tightrope riding a bike and juggling 6 balls at the same time. He can even jump from a
tower of 50 meters high to a small pool on the floor; besides, he rides on a horse backwards, and he
jumps from that horse to other 3 horses while they run around the track.
People are very happy with the circus. Around 1100 people visit the circus every day. The owner
of the circus is looking for people to work with him. He’s looking for people with amazing skills that
can do many tricks for the show. I know a friend that maybe can work there. I have to call him right
now.
