Work in David’s life.

My wife and my children don’t understand me. It is very bad, because I understand myself very well. Work is all my life. I work for a TV company. I meet many people and I like them. I’m a TV operator. I start work at seven o’clock in the morning. I work with a camera and three computers. I buy very expensive computer programmes for my camera and my films. It is very interesting. We make computer films about lovely places, foreign countries, cities, towns, that sort of thing.

We have lunch with our TV group in cafes and sandwich bars. For lunch we have cheese sandwiches and coffee. It is cheap.

My workday is long but not boring. I come home from work at nine o’clock in the evening. On my way home I buy a newspaper. I read it after dinner.

My job can’t give me much money. But it is nice because my friends at work are nice.
