She is very pretty and she always wears lovely clothes. She has long, dark hair and a beautiful smile. She is very intelligent, but she is sometimes quiet and shy.

In Mexico City, she works as an elementary school teacher. She often talks about her job.
 
Liliana loves drawing and painting, and she can cook. She also likes shopping and reading fashion magazines, but she doesn’t like sports and she can’t swim.

Week 4 Writing Activity

                                                   My stressful day! 

 
Do you have a stressful day? Which day of the week is stressful for you? Why?
Send us an article about your stressful day – we will publish a different one every day next week.

Example:

Monday is a stressful day for me, because I’m always very busy at work. I usually go to bed late on Sunday night, so on Monday morning it’s difficult to get up.

In the morning I go to work at six o'clock. I write lots of e-mails and then I talk to customers on the phone. After lunch I often have long meetings, which are usually very boring.

In the evening I go home, cook dinner, and go to English class. I go to bed at eleven or twelve o'clock. It's a very long and stressful day!

Now write your article. Write 75–100 words. Write three or four paragraphs. Answer these questions:

• Which day of the week is stressful for you? Why?
• What do you usually do in the morning on that day?
• What do you do in the afternoon?
• What do you do after work/school?
