4 PAMOKA. COLLEAGUES AT WORK

I assisted a journalist John who presented information about economy of

England. We travelled much, talked to famous people, scientists and politicians.
John was my teacher and I learnt a lot from him. The most important lesson I
learnt was to ask the right questions. John had a very good sense of humor. He
was very frank and honest. A year ago John decided I was ready to work alone.
I have my assistant George now and we work on culture issues. We prepare
reports about cultural events in London and the whole England. George is smart
and he learns fast. George and I work together with a cameraman Sean. Sean
is already 50 years old but he is very energetic and funny. He is also our driver.
His Mini Cooper drives fast indeed with loud music on. Mini Cooper is our office
as we travel a lot. We start our work at 8 in the morning and usually finish at 5
in the evening. George and Sean stay at work until 6 or 7 in the evening. I cant
stay longer as I have to be at university. We sometimes work on weekends if
there are cultural events that can be interesting. I really like my team George
and Sean! They are great!
My boss is an Englishman Henry. He is very strict but diplomatic man. I hope
one day Ill get promotion and pay rise. I want to have my own TV program on
culture, travel and food. I hope after a year I have it and youll see me on TV. It
will be my promotion.

worlds famous chefs competition. It will be exciting business trip!
Today I woke up at quarter past 6, had a shower and at seven I called for a taxi.
It took me one hour to get to the airport. At eight I was at the airport, met
George and Sean. We had breakfast together. We didnt have to check in. We
checked in online. We got through airport security quite quickly. They X-rayed
our hand luggage, checked our papers and soon we found our gates. On the
plane we all had a nap. Our flight was short. It was one hour and fifteen minutes.

The plane took off at quarter to ten and landed in Edinburgh at eleven. There is
no direct train line to the city center so we took a taxi to get to the city center.

6 PAMOKA. AT THE AIRPORT

Many people dislike flying. Sean and George are such. Airports and planes make
them stressed. I agree that jet lag and lost luggage can spoil your mood but in
general I like planes, airports and travelling. I check in on line if I have only
hand luggage. I check in at the airport if I need to check in my luggage. At the
airport I try to get through security as soon as possible. I find my gates and then

Angl kalbos kursai Js namuose!

enjoy coffee or visit duty free shops. Of course when the plane is late it annoys
me. I try to have a book or magazine with me to spend time. When the flight is
cancelled it is bad. It is important to have travel insurance. In such cases
insurance covers your expenses. The most pleasant thing at the airport is to see
the sign boarding. It means you show your documents to the airport employees
and go to the plane. Taking off and landing are not always very nice but they
are short. On the plane you can read, sleep, listen to music and have some meal.
When you reach your destination, disembarking starts. It means you leave the
plane and begin your visit in another country or town. Sean and George were
very happy when the plane landed. I was happy to see them smile again!

All people have different eating habits. Some people lead healthy life style and
some people like eating junk food. People who lead healthy life style eat
regularly. They start with breakfast and eat every two hours. They dont eat
snacks. They dont drink Coca Cola or other soft drinks. They drink fresh juice
and herbal teas. Such people use lots of vegetables and fruit. They buy
expensive fish, meat and better quality dairy products. People who dont eat
meat are called vegetarians.
I am not a vegetarian. I like meat a lot. I always eat breakfast. I know it is
healthy. I never refuse junk food especially if I am in a hurry. On weekends I
try to cook. I prepare soup, salad and sometimes steaks. In most cases Franco
and I like to go out for dinner. Of course eating out is more expensive than
cooking at home but then you dont have to do the dishes and you can always
change environment and discover new places in the city. You can taste different
meals and try new flavours.

use chopsticks instead of forks and knives. People drink tea or coffee and they
use cups and mugs. If they drink coffee from a cup sometimes they use a saucer
and put a teaspoon on it. People drink juice and other soft drinks from a glass.

Today is Saturday. Today is the day off. I dont have to go to work. This weekend
I dont have to prepare any reports for BBC.
I woke up at 9am. I watched current news on TV. At quarter past nine I got up
and went out to jog. I met Franco and we both were jogging for about one hour.
Later I returned home, took a shower, changed and again went out for breakfast.
During our breakfast Franco and I decided to go shopping.
I dont like shopping. I hate long queues at the check-out. It is usually difficult
to find a parking place. Shops are usually crowded, its always hot and you forget
what you want to buy.
Anyway Franco wanted to buy a new pair of shoes, a jacket and some T-shirt.
Franco is very fashionable and wants to look up to date. He wants to prepare for
spring season.
Shopping was successful. Franco was very lucky to get everything he wanted.
We bought some food for dinner and returned home. While shopping we met our
friends Alan and Vicky. We invited them to have dinner in the evening at my
place. We spent a nice evening together while chatting, watching TV, eating and
having fun. I love weekends especially Saturdays since on Sunday morning you
dont have to get up early.

10 PAMOKA. MEDIA

I hope that you remember my profession. For those who dont remember it Ill
remind. I am a journalist. I work for BBC.
More often I start thinking about the use of television. It is a very powerful tool
to get information. It can change a persons life in one day, however watching
TV becomes a bit of waste of time.
You can find all current information on the internet. Internet is available
everywhere. It is enough to have a cell phone and you can contact the entire
world by pressing one button. You can use Youtube for watching short movies

Angl kalbos kursai Js namuose!

about history, travelling, cooking, and medicine, whatever. You can even watch
movies as long as you send them to your computer by internet.
Modern television presents itself on the internet as well. All soap operas are
available on the internet. Sitting on the sofa and watching TV becomes luxury.
People dont have much free time. They are busy at work. They try to spend
their free time outside or going in for sports, travelling or doing something. They
simply dont find time for watching TV. I think that the main audience for
watching TV is retired people. They have more free time and can afford that.
To be honest I watch TV very rarely. I even do not switch it on as some
background. I better listen to music and have some rest from big amount of
information.
