Match each person to the activity.

Tom: How many people live in your house, Sanjay?

Sanjay: Six. Me and five friends from college.

Tom: Wow! That’s a lot! Is it difficult?

Sanjay: Not really, because it’s a big house and we all have different
daily routines.

Tom: OK.

Sanjay: For example, I’m the only one who has lunch at home, so at
that time of day, I have the house to myself. It’s quiet so I usually use
the computer and check my emails, or sometimes I watch TV.

Tom: I see.

Sanjay: Marc has a part time job in a restaurant, so he’s not there in
the evenings. I only really see him in the mornings. And Blas cooks
dinner every day, so he’s always in the kitchen.
play.MP3

Tom: That’s nice for you!

Sanjay: Yes, he’s a great cook. But he doesn’t usually do the washing
up afterwards! Luke leaves the house very early, so he gets up before
everyone else, to catch the bus.

Tom: So, I suppose he goes to bed early as well.

Sanjay: No, he doesn’t. In fact, Luke goes to bed very late so he

doesn’t sleep very much. John is the same, he stays up late and plays
chess with Luke, but he doesn’t get up early because he studies in the
afternoon.

Tom: Oh? I thought you told me he teaches in the morning.

Sanjay: No that’s Sam, he teaches French in the morning; I’m not sure
what he does in the afternoon …

Unit 1: Exercise 5
Listen to Mary talking about what her family does every day. Choose the
correct answers.

I wake up at 7 o’clock. My husband, Jack, wakes up at the same

time. He gets up immediately but I stay in bed. Jack brings me a
cup of tea at about 7:15 and then I get up at 7:30. We have a son, play.MP3

Simon, and a daughter, Julia. They get up at about 8 o’clock. Julia

has a shower first, then Simon. We usually have breakfast together
and then Simon and Julia leave for college. Julia is often late
because she always watches TV after breakfast, but Simon always
catches the bus on time, even though he always does the washing-
up before he leaves the house.

I’m a designer and I don’t need to travel to work because I have an

office here in the house. Jack works in a bank. It’s in the city centre
so he drives to work, but if the weather’s nice, he sometimes walks.
He has lunch with colleagues. I have lunch at home; I make
something simple because we usually have a big meal in the
evening for dinner. And of course, Simon and Julia have lunch at
college.

After college, Simon usually goes to the gym and Julia sometimes
plays chess with a friend. My husband often goes shopping on the
way home and buys something for dinner, and I usually clean the
house and then I often read the newspaper, or sometimes, if I have
time, I phone a friend for a chat.

We prepare dinner together. Jack’s an excellent cook. Simon and

Julia like cooking too. I don’t like it as much, but I’m quite good.
Sometimes Jack goes to watch Simon play basketball at the sports
centre. But Simon usually takes the bins out and Julia usually does
the washing up. Later, before we go to bed, Jack and I watch TV for
a while, usually with Simon, and Julia chats with her friends online
on her laptop. We all go to bed at about 11 o’clock but I don’t go to
sleep immediately. I always read for at least half an hour before I
turn off the light!
