1 Read the text and answer the questions.
A day in the life of a postman
Peter Simpson is a postman. He comes from
London but now he lives and works in Bristol, a
big city in the south-west of England.
Today, on the World News Web, we ask Peter
about his life and his job.
How do you start a typical working day, Peter?
Well, I get up at half past three in the morning, I have
breakfast and a shower. I eat eggs and I always drink a lot
of coffee before I start work. It’s dark outside and it isn’t
easy to get up when it’s so early and so dark.Then I walk
to the delivery office. It’s about 20 minutes from my
house.
What do you do at the delivery office?
I work with ten other postmen. We work for four hours
putting letters into bags. It isn’t difficult to do but we
work very fast.
Then what do you do?
At about 8.30, I take my big bag of letters and walk
outside. On a typical day, I deliver letters to 600
addresses.
Do you like your job?
Yes.Well, usually. I don’t like it when it rains. And I don’t
like working on Saturday morning when everybody is in
bed. But I meet a lot of people. Old people are very
friendly and I always speak to them. Some old people
don’t speak to many people in a day so I think it’s
important to say hello and be friendly. And after lunch
I’m free. I don’t work in the afternoon, so I can go
shopping or go cycling when other people are at work.
And that’s great!

Brunel was born in Portsmouth in the south of England
on 9th April 1806. His mother was English, but his father,
Marc Brunel, was French. His father was a famous
engineer in France, but he left his country in 1793. First he

When he returned to England from school in France,
Brunel went to work for his father. In his first job, he and
his father built a tunnel under the River Thames in
London.Then, in 1831, Brunel won a big competition. It
was for a bridge across the River Avon in Bristol in the
south of England.The Clifton Suspension Bridge took 30
years to build, but today it is one the most beautiful
bridges in the world.

In 1833, Brunel got a new job. He became chief engineer
for the Great Western Railway Company, and work
began on the train line from London to Bristol.Today,
when you travel to Bristol by train, you go over beautiful
bridges and through fantastic tunnels – Brunel built them
all. As well as bridges, tunnels and railways, Brunel
designed some famous boats.The 'Great Western', built
in 1837, was the first steamboat to go across the Atlantic
Ocean to the USA. And the 'Great Eastern', built in 1859,
was the biggest boat in the world.

Teenagers then and now
Jill Davies is an accountant. She’s 42, she’s married, she
has two children, and she lives in a small village in the
north of England. But 25 years ago she was an
18-year-old teenager. It was the 1980s and she lived in
Manchester.
‘I hated being a teenager,’ says Jill. ‘Now, I look back, and
I think, ‘Wow, what a fantastic time!’ but then it was
terrible. I didn’t like my hair or my clothes. I thought my
dad was great, but I didn’t like my mum. She told me
what to do all the time but I never listened! I wanted to
be cool, but I wasn’t. I didn’t have a boyfriend and my
clothes were terrible. I wore short skirts and tight jeans
and a lot of make-up. I listened to New Romantic pop
music – Duran Duran and Boy George were my
favourites – and at the weekend I went out to discos
and didn’t come home until two or three in the morning.’
‘Today, everybody goes to university when they leave
school, but when I was young, this wasn’t true. My
friends and I left school at 18, and there weren’t any jobs.
I worked in a shop for three years. I was 22 when I went
to college and trained to be an accountant.’

Yes

‘I like being a teenager,’ says Emily. ‘I have good friends
and a really nice boyfriend. I don’t go out very often, but
I text my friends all the time or we chat online. On
weekdays, I meet my friends in a café near college, or I
watch DVDs at my boyfriend’s house. Sometimes we go
to the cinema on Saturday night. I usually wear
comfortable clothes – T-shirts and jeans. And I download
a lot of music from the Internet. I love listening to Kate
Nash and Lily Allen.They’re really cool.’
