Alice is talking about her working day. Listen to Alice and decide what job she does.
My name is Alice. I get up early at six o’clock, have breakfast and go to work at a quarter to
seven. I get to work before eight, and then I make coffee! I work from half past eight until
quarter past four, but I don’t really finish until five o’clock. When I leave work, I’m tired but
happy. I get home around six, and then I have dinner and take a shower. I also work in the
evening - sometimes I don’t go to bed until midnight! Do I work hard? Yes, I do. But I love the
children. And I don’t work in the summer!

7 Optional extension
English is a musical language! We make our voices go up (rise) or go down (fall) to show what we’re
saying.
Questions with yes/no answers have a rising intonation in English - our voices go up at the end. Try
saying these questions with this intonation.
1. Do you work hard?
2. Do you get up early?
3. Does your sister go to bed late?
4. Does your family eat dinner at seven?
5. Are you Spanish?
6. Is he your brother?
7. Am I the winner?
8. Are they your parents?
Practise in pairs – take turns to ask a question with the correct intonation and give a short answer.
