I. Daily Routines. Read carefully each paragraph and answer the given questions.
My name is Nuria and I'm going to describe a normal day in my work life. I usually get up at nine o'clock in the morning and I
don't have any problems with the traffic in the town because my company is based near my home in an industrial area. The first
thing I do when I arrive is open my e-mails and look at several things like: the balance of bank accounts, requests for quotations
from any customers, replies from any suppliers to my requests for purchase orders, delivery times of the materials ordered, etc. At
ten o'clock, I go to have breakfast with my colleague and my brother to a nearby café. My colleague and I try to speak in English
all day, but sometimes it is very difficult due to all the telephone calls and the main administrative problems that must be solved
just in time. The morning goes by very fast because we have to work very quickly. It seems that the work is endless. Could it be
that the papers reproduce themselves every day? When I finish (the time we leave depends on the amount of work), I go home and
change my clothes to go skating or play tennis. Playing any sport helps me to relax. Next, I go back home and take the dog for a
walk. Finally, I watch TV for an hour more or less because I can't stay awake any longer.
