Hello. My mane is Phil Blaster. I am a sales agent at a large company in Boston. We sell computers, fax machines, printers and telephones. I start work at 8.30. I usually drive to work but sometimes I take a taxi. I am always in time for work. My supervisor, Mr Bourdeau, is a sales manager. He is from France, but he speaks English and German. We have many clients from the United States, France, Germany and England.
At work I read and answer letters from our clients. I often send them our price lists. I have a computer and a fax machine in my office. I send e-mail messages and answer telephone calls. I am busy all day, but I like this work.
I have lunch at about one o’clock. I usually go to the cafeteria for my lunch. It is small but pretty good. I like the food there. Sometimes I take my lunch with me.
I stop work at six and drive home. I live in a two-room flat. It’s not big, but light and neat. And the rent is not very high. At home I have dinner and relax. Sometimes I take a walk or go running. For the rest of the evening I read or watch TV. I usually go to bed at about eleven.
