I look at the clock and it’s already 5:30. It’s quitting time! I stillneed to put the
finishing touches on my report, but I can do that on Monday morning before I submit it to me
boss. Some weeks I have to take work home and burn the midnight oil, but not this week. I
have everything under control and I don’t need to work over the weekend.
I pack up my briefcase and shut down my computer. I put some important papers back
in their folder and leave it in my desk drawer for safekeeping. I take the papers and files from
my outbox and pit them in my coworker’s inbox. But when I get back to my desk, another
coworker has put some new memos and papers in my inbox! I like to clear my desk as much as
possible at the end of the week to avoid clutter, and I guess everyone else does, too!
I look at me desk one last to me to make sure I haven’t left anything behind, and I’m
ready to head home. Weekend, here I come!
Now I want to play a game with you. I will show you some pictures and you will tell
the others the word from active vocabulary which is suitable for the picture.
