Sheila works in a language school, but she is not a teacher. She has an office where she writes a lot of letters. She talks to stu­dents and teachers and to quite a few business men. She's the most important person there.

Patricia reads a lot, both at work and after work. She talks to a lot of people about books. She takes money from people. She works from 9.00 to 5.30, with a break for lunch. She also works on Saturdays but the place where she works is closed on Sundays.

Mike likes pop music. He works in a studio. You hear him talking about the music he plays. You can ask him to play you some music. But you can't see him. You can only hear him.

Anthony works for a company called Window-light. He's got a small office and a company car. He meets a lot of new people every day, but not in his office. He talks to people and shows them pic­tures from his catalogue. He likes people with large houses best. Why?

Colin works in a very big room. People come in to bring books back and take out new ones. He often stands near the door where he checks the books and the cards. He also helps people find the books they want.
