I go
to work at 8.45am every morning. I usually drive to work.
I always check my emails when I get to work, but I don't
always reply to them immediately. I take a taxi or a
train if I have alunch meeting. I never take the bus because
it is too slow. When I am at my desk I usually work on the computer,
even during morning tea. At 1pm most days I have lunch.
At 3pm we haveafternoon tea, and that is when we usually
talk and eat cake.
When you
are in the office you probably have a lot of papers. It is important for you
to file your papers, and so that you can find them again you
need to organise your files. When I work I have
to make telephone calls. If an important issue happens I ask my
secretary to organise a meeting. Once a month I report
to my boss, but maybe you have to report to your boss more often. I
usually write a document that my boss can read.
