Yesterday Debbie had a job interview. She went downtown to the company. The
interview was for an accounting job. Debbie graduated university 3 months ago.
Her interview was at 10:00 am. She woke up at 7:00 am and left her house before
8:00 am. She waited for the bus, but it was late. She was very worried because
she did not want to be late for the interview. She tried to phone the company
to warn them, but her phone battery was dead. When the bus arrived, it was
almost 9:00 am. Then the bus was slow because there were many other cars. The
bus finally arrived at Debbie’s stop at 9:45 am. Debbie ran from the bus stop
to the office building. When she entered she saw a sign that said the company
was on the 24th floor. The elevator ride took almost 5 minutes because many
people stopped at different floors.
When Debbie arrived at reception, it was 9:58. She was in time! “I am here to see Mrs. Lewis” said Debbie.
The receptionist checked her book and replied:
“She is not here today. What is
your name please?” “My name is Debbie Gregson.” “Sorry Debbie, but your
appointment is tomorrow.” Debbie checked
her agenda. It was true. She was there on the wrong day!

READING Read it passage carefully and discuss with
your friends about William Shakespeare
William
Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was a poet and a playwright and is widely regarded
as the greatest writer in the English language. He was born in
Stratford-upon-Avon, in central England, in 1564 and he died in 1616. His
surviving work consists of 38 plays, 154 sonnets and some other poems. He is
best known for his plays, which have been translated into every major language
and are performed more than those of any other playwright in the world. When
William Shakespeare was 18 years old he married Anne Hathaway, and they had
three children. Shakespeare went to London to work as an actor and a writer. In
1599 the Globe Theatre was built in London and it was in this theatre, situated
on the banks of the River Thames, that some of Shakespeare’s plays were first
performed. In 1613 the theatre was destroyed by a fire. However, a modern
reconstruction of the theatre was built near the original site in 1997 so even
today you can go to the Globe Theatre to see one of Shakespeare's plays. Shakespeare’s
work is still very popular today. But why do we like these old plays? Perhaps
it is because they all contain fantastic stories. His characters suffer bloody
battles, deaths by poison, huge family fights, problems between brothers and
sisters, problems between parents and children ... The plays are also full of
parties, weddings and funerals. They are quite simply action-packed.

William
Shakespeare was a poet and a playwright and is widely regarded as the greatest

Hannah met Jamie in the summer of 2004. It was Hannah’
s 21st birthday and she and her friends went to a club. They wanted to dance,
but they didn’ t like the music so Hannah went to speak to the DJ. ‘ This music
is awful,’ she said. ‘ Could you play something else? The DJ looked at her and
said ‘ Don’ t worry; I have the perfect song for you.’
Two minutes later he said: ‘ The next song is by
Coldplay. It’ s called Yellow and it’ s for a beautiful girl who is dancing
over there.’ Hannah knew that the song was for her because she was wearing a
yellow dress. When Hannah and her friends left the club the DJ was waiting at
the door. ‘ Hi, I’ m Jamie,’ he said to Hannah. ‘ Can I see you again?’ So
Hannah gave him her phone number.
Next day Jamie phoned Hannah and invited her to
dinner. He took her to a very romantic French restaurant and they talked all
evening. After that Jamie and Hannah saw each other every day. Every evening
when Hannah finished work they met at 5.30 in a coffee bar in the High Street.

at her watch. It was 5.20! She was going to be late! She ran to her car and got
in. At 5.25 she was driving along the High Street. She was going very fast
because she was in a hurry.
Suddenly, a man ran across the road. He was wearing
a dark coat so Hannah didn’ t see him until it was too late. Although she tried
to stop, she hit the man. Hannah panicked. She didn’ t stop and she drove to
the coffee bar as fast as she could. But when she arrived Jamie wasn’ t there.
She phoned him, but his mobile was turned off, so she waited for ten minutes
and then went home.
