MY FAVOURITE DAY OF THE WEEK

VICKY

I go to a boarding school, so I don’t leave my parents during term time. Uhmmm, what I like is being
with my friends all the time whether we are working or just chatting, it’s great to know that there is
always somewhere there!
There is also a lot of freedom, I don’t have to tell my parents where I’m going, who I’m going with, you
know. Normally Monday is my favourite day because I only have two lessons on a Monday. But I’m
having a very bad day today because I have homework from every one of my teachers. And I have to
do it now.

TERRY

I work in a restaurant in Manchester. I have two days off a week, usually Monday and Wednesday. But
my favourite day of the week is, in fact, Friday. Even though I work that day. It’s a great night because
all my friends come into the restaurant and we have a great laugh, it’s a real boost to the place but it
doesn’t feel like work at all. Time just flies by!
The restaurant is being redecorated at the moment so everything’s a bit crazy.

MY FAVOURITE DAY OF THE WEEK

DAVE

I’m a police officer . I like my job because it’s challenging but I live for surfing. I go as often as I can.
I’m opening two shops that self serve boards in the next few months. The boards are made in South
Africa. Sunday is my favourite day of the week. I get up as early as I can and spend the day on the
beach.

JENNY

Mike and I live on a farm in beautiful countryside. I know we are very lucky but it’s hard work. We
rarely have a day off at the weekend or Christmas day or any day of the year. We have to feed the
sheep. Now we are lambing so we aren’t getting any sleep either. But I suppose our favourite day is
Wednesday because that’s the day we generally go hunting. We go on the moors with about twenty
friends.
