The weather isn’t very good today, in fact, it’s rather cold and cloudy.
The children are in their room playing cards and watching TV. Right now, it’s very wet and rainy.

My wife is in the restaurant eating lunch, but the food

here is very expensive, and it isn’t very good.

Our hotel room is nice. In spite of the broken bathroom

window, it’s air conditioned, has two beds, and a big flat
TV screen.

People from the hotel are saying that the weather is

uncertain because sometimes it’s sunny, cloudy, windy,
or rainy. We’re waiting to go to the beach.

Ok mom! I’m going to the beach with my children now

because the weather is changing for the better, and the sun finally came
out.

See you soon.

Love, Jaime.

Welcome to our travel agency, we are the number one travel agency
in our country and we offer many touristic sites all over the world.

We currently have 1 cheap tour which goes to San Andres’ Island in

Colombia. San Andres is a picturesque island, with beautiful beaches
and friendly people.

Most days in San Andres are sunny; however, there are some rainy days as well, but this is the

You can stay in our big new hotel called “Paradise” for 4 days and 3 nights all inclusive. The
hotel has more than 200 hundred rooms, there’s a flat screen TV, and there are 2 beds in each
bedroom. There’s a nice balcony with ocean view.

There are 4 big swimming pools at the hotel as well as 3 restaurants with free food all the time.
There’s a big gym with 5 personal trainers, and there are more than 30 different machines to
use.

In front of the hotel is a long beach, and next to our hotel there are different clubs and casinos.
Around the corner, there’s a new supermarket and a big shopping mall with hundreds of stores.
Across from the supermarket, there’s a small airport.

Paisa”. Right now, the waiter is taking our order, and he’s saying the specials today are delicious. He has

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
the fullest.

Read the following situations and practice your pronunciation. Try to imagine the situations
while you’re reading them.

SITUATIONS

1. Natalia is at home with her husband Nelson. It’s Wednesday,

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
horror movies very much, but sometimes, Natalia feels very
scared when she watches them, and when she feels scared,
she never sleeps well; so Nelson, always has to go with her to
the bathroom, and they always have to sleep with the lights on.

2. My friend Marco is very intelligent; he studies English with me. He

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.

1. 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.

3. My wife and I are very different. We always feel different and we always do
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
understands me. She doesn’t want to buy a new house, but I do. She
always wants to buy a new pair of earrings and a new pair of shoes,
but I don’t want her too. As you can see we’re very different, but
I love her and she loves me.

MR. BUSY

Mr. Busy is not an old man, he’s a young man. Mr. Busy lives with his family in
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.
His day starts at 4:50 am when his alarm rings. He doesn’t wake up immediately. He sleeps 5
more minutes, and when the alarm rings for the second time, he gets up at once.
At 5:00 am, he goes to the bathroom to take a ten-minute cold shower; he says a shower with
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
home, so he takes it to the university. Mr. Busy’s first class is at 6:00 am, but his teacher is in the
classroom by 5:55 am; he likes to be 5 minutes before the class starts to have everything ready to
begin the class.
At 9:25 am, Mr. Busy has breakfast at the university tables with his friends. His second class starts
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.
Finally, Mr. Busy goes to bed at 11:45 pm every day. He’s very tired, but he loves what he does.

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
