 Monica’s weird
day

Monica is an accountant. She works

at the Central Bank of Sydney. Today
is a weird day for Monica, it seems
like her regular daily routine has
changed dramatically.

She usually walks to work but today

she is driving because she overslept.
Most of the times she wears a red
blouse and a black skirt for work, but
today she is wearing jeans and t-shirt
because the washing machine got damaged yesterday.

Although her husband takes the kids to school every day, today Monica is taking them to
school because her husband went to a party last night and got home really late. She regularly
listens to classical music on her way to work, but today she and her children are listening to
reggaeton; they say that classical music is not as interesting and cool as reggaeton.

Some people may think Monica is not enjoying her day; on the contrary, she loves doing new
things, so she is happy about this weird day.

que están continuando o que se desarrollan en un futuro próximo.
