Task 4. Read and retell.
WORKING AT MY DESK
When I get back to my desk, I clear off a few stacks of paper on the top of my desk so I
have some space to work. I open the computer file I have been working on for the past week.
This document is a report that is due next week and the deadline is fast approaching. I open my
filing cabinet and take out two files and a manila envelope that has the information I need in
them. I look around for the pad of paper I used to jot down some ideas yesterday, and take
out the paper clips, stapler, and Scotch tape I know I’ll also need. Now I have everything in
front of me so I can get down to business.
The first thing I have to do is get organized. I scan the information I have in front of me
and take notes on the things I want to include in the report. Before I analyze the data for the
report, I need to skim the background information to make sure I haven’t missed anything. I
was making good progress but I’m feeling thirsty, so I decide to take a quick break.
