READING
Two writers
My name’s Simon Charlton and I’m a writer. My wife’s name is Louisa and she’s a teacher in a language
school and also a writer like me. I’m at my desk every day but Louisa has classes at school on Wednesdays
and Fridays.
Let’s look at Louisa’s desk. On her desk, she has an expensive laptop, a pink notebook and two green pens.
She also has three or four dictionaries, a box of tissues and a beautiful blue lamp. Her keys, glasses and
purse are in her bag and the bag is under the desk. Louisa is very tidy. I think she feels stressed when she
looks at my untidy desk.
I have a big, dark grey desk with keys, old bus tickets, magazines, a photo of my family and a lot of books on
it. I have boxes of books under my desk too.
The same as Louisa, I have a computer but I also write a lot on paper. I have hundreds of pens and pencils
and I have pages from my books all over my desk. I’m hot in my chair but I don’t open the window because
I’m worried about all the pieces of paper!
Example: Louisa has classes on Thursdays and Fridays.
