A DAY OFF WORK.
Bill Walker works for Import-Export Company. Last Wednesday
morning Bill rang his office at 9 o’clock. His boss Mr. Thompson
answered the phone.
- Hello, Thompson’s here.
- Hello, this is Bill Walker.
- Hello, Bill.
- I’m afraid, I can’t come to work today, Mr.Thompson.
- Oh, what’s the problem?
- I’ve got a very sore throat.
- Yes, you sound ill on the phone.
- Yes, I’ll stay in bed today. But I’ll be able to come tomorrow.
- That’s all right Bill. Stay in bed till you have enough work.
- Thank you Mr.Thompson. Good-bye.
- Good-bye, Bill.
Mr.Thompson liked Bill very much. At 12.30 he got into his car,
drove to a shop and bought some fruit for him. He went to Bill’s flat
and rang the doorbell. Bill’s wife Susan answers the door.
- Oh, Mr.Thompson. Hello. How are you?
- Fine. Thanks, Susan. I’ve just come to see Bill. How is he?
- Oh. He doesn’t look very well. I wanted him to see the doctor.
- Oh, I’m going to see him.
- Hello, Bill.
- Oh. Hello, m….m, hello, Mr.Thompson.
- I’ve brought some fruit for you, Bill.
- Thank you very much, Mr.Thompson.
- Well, I am at your house anyway. How is your throat?
- It seems a little better. I’ll be O’K tomorrow.
- Well, don’t come in until you feel better.
- All right. But I’m sure I’ll be able to come tomorrow.
- Bye-bye.
- Good-bye, Mr.Thompson.
At 3 o’clock in the afternoon Mr.Thompson locked the office door
and switched on his portable TVision. He wanted to watch an
important international football match. It was England against
Brazil. Both teams were playing well. But neither of the teams could
score a goal. The crowd was cheering and billowing.
It was very exciting. Then at 3.20 England scored from a penalty.
Mr. Thompson jumped out of his chair. He was very excited. He
was smiling happily when suddenly a cameraman focused on a
crowd. Mr. Thompson’s smile disappeared and he looked very
angry. Bill Walker’s face was on the screen. He didn’t look ill and
he didn’t sound ill. He was smiling happily and cheering widely.
