Twenty-ninth (29th) Lesson

Let's meet our friends the Wilsons again. At the office, David has a lot of work. He receives calls from people who phone to offer him information. If he can, he goes out to see them, but if he is too busy, he sends a colleague. Because his is a daily paper, the amount of work is huge. At her office, Joan types her boss's letters and answers the phone. She only works part-time, so she goes home at half past twelve. Then she does the housework, because they cannot afford a "help". When she finishes, she makes a cap of tea and reads a magazine. Then she starts preparing David's dinner. David usually arrives home about half-past six, but sometimes he works late and does not arrive home until nine o'clock.
