A day in the life of Sara Robbins (Track 2) (Framework 1 Pg64)
Sara Robbins is a newsreader. She reads the news on the early morning
show on the radio. Millions of people listen to her voice every morning as
they prepare to go to work. Many people do not recognize her when they
see her on the street, but everybody knows her voice!
Sara’s day usually starts when most people are still asleep. Her alarm clock usually goes off at 3 a.m.
Her news program starts at 6 a.m. and she needs to be at the studio at 4.
She always drives to work. She arrives at the radio studios at about quarter to four. She always goes
to the café for breakfast. Then she looks at the day’s newspapers and checks the news agency
reports on the computer.
At 6 a.m., everything is ready and Sara begins to work. At nine o’clock, when most people are starting
work, Sara is finishing her program. She never goes out in the evening during the week because she
needs to be in bed by nine o’clock. But she sometimes invites friends to her house for dinner.
At weekends, her life is quite different. On Saturday morning, she usually gets up at 10 o’clock and
has a long, slow breakfast at home. She doesn’t often go away for the weekend. She sometimes goes
to the movies but mainly she likes to stay at home.
