Lori Nelson likes her job. She is a banker, so she helps people with their money every day. Every day, Ms. Nelson
gets up at 7:00. She takes a shower and has breakfast. Then she takes a train into the city. At the bank, Ms. Nelson
goes to one or two meetings every day. That’s because she is a manager at the bank, so she makes a lot of important
decisions. She also meets clients every day. The clients are the bank’s customers, so they are very important to Ms.
Nelson. In the afternoon, Ms. Nelson checks her e-mail one more time. Then she takes a train home.

Peter Engel doesn’t like some parts of his job. He is a chef at a restaurant, so every day he buys food for the
restaurant. Then he cooks lunch and dinner for the customers. Mr. Engel likes those parts of his job, but he is also the
head of the kitchen. He doesn’t like to teach the other cooks. And when cooks aren’t doing the job well enough, Mr.

cooks do the job pretty well, so they can keep their job for a long time.

I’m having a party tonight for my friends, Zahra, Helena, and Suchir. We all work in the fashion industry. I’m a
photographer and take pictures of new designs in clothes. Zahra and Helena are high fashion models from Nunavut,
Canada. They are both beautiful Inuit women. Suchir is a famous designer from India. I really like his designs. He
always uses beautiful colors. You know, I think that the color of your clothes says a lot about you.
This evening I see some of my favorite colors in my friends’ clothes. There’s a lot of pink, blue, and black. Black is a
nice color, of course. It goes with just about everything and dark clothes really make a person look more powerful.
Pink is very romantic and blue is, of course, calm.

Helena is wearing a blue evening dress with long silver earrings and a small bracelet to match. She also has on a
man’s hat! I don’t like the hat, but Helena’s look is always a little unusual.

Suchir is wearing a light blue shirt and red tie with a gray sweater. He’s also wearing black pants and black shoes. It’s
interesting that Suchir never wears his own designs.

Zahra has on her favorite black skirt with a pink blouse. I like her shoes. They are beige Italian leather. Her scarf is
light beige too. Zahra is one of my favorite models. She’s a real chameleon. It’s easy for her to change her look with
different clothes.
And me, what am I wearing? Well my clothes are both formal and informal. I have on white jeans, a black t-shirt, a
black tie, and blue vest.
I love what everyone is wearing this evening. We all look good!
