Read the text and answer the questions
BELOW. Dave is a bank clerk in London. He
thinks his job is boring – but the salary is good.
He lives in a small village and goes to work by
train and then the underground. It’s a long
journey - he leaves home at half-past seven -
and people ask him why he doesn’t move
nearer to London, but Dave prefers to live in
his village. He doesn’t like crowds, smog and
traffic and he loves going for long bike rides
or walks in the country when the weather is fine.
He also has a lot of friends in the village and he
doesn’t want to lose them. He arrives at the
bank at nine and usually finishes at half-past
five. He gets home at about seven o’clock. He
has an hour for lunch, at one o’clock. When the
weather is good, he often buys sandwiches and
eats them in the park near his bank. When it’s
raining, or cold, he goes to a small café for
lunch. Dave’s girlfriend, Liz, is a student at
Reading University and lives in a small flat near
her university with three other students. Dave
and Liz met two years ago when they were
both in Spain on holiday. Dave would like to
marry her when she finishes university next
year, but Liz prefers to wait for two or three
years before getting married. They don’t meet
during the week because Liz is busy with her
studies, but they usually spend the weekends
together. It’s half-past eleven on a beautiful
Saturday morning and Dave and Liz are in Dave’s
car. They want to go to the seaside for the day,
but a lot of people seem to have the same
idea, and traffic on the motorway is very
slow. It is also very hot! Dave says, “This is a
stupid way of spending Saturday! Why don’t we
leave the motorway and have lunch in a pub?
We can go to the seaside another day.” “Yes!”
says Liz, “I’m hot, bored and hungry. Look, we
can leave the motorway here.” They leave the
motorway and look for an interesting place to
have lunch. They find an old pub by a river and
decide to eat outside. They can see the river
from their table. Their lunch is very good and
not expensive. They decide that leaving the
motorway and the traffic was a very good
idea!
Dave doesn’t enjoy working in a bank.

A) True
B) False
C) Doesn’t say
