Read and translate Linda Dowson’s story. Прочитайте и переведите рассказ Линды Доусон (Linda Dawson).

A day in my life.

I get up about 6 o’clock and plan my day. I leave the house at 7.00 a.m. and catch the 7.15 to London. I get to work at about 8.30 and spend an hour dealing with my mail. From 9.30 to 12.00 I telephone our supplies. I usually have lunch in the canteen between 12.30 and 2.00. We have a general meeting from 2.00 to 3.00, and then, I look at samples and discuss possible new suppliers. I leave at about 5.30 and get home at about 7.00. It’s a long day, but I love the job.
