狄克生片語u1

 It is six o’clock in the morning.  William gets up, puts on his sporting suit, and starts jogging right away.  He runs to the park and does morning exercise there.  An hour later, he gets on the bus to work.

        He is usually busy at work.  It takes most of his time to operte the machine of the factory.  Although he wants to call up his girl friend, Jane, the job stops him from doing so.  When he arrives at the factory, he turns on the switch board of the power to start the machine.  He can’t turn it off until four o’clock in the afternoon.

        Getting off the bus, William goes back home, takes off the working suit, and sits comfortably on the sofa picking up the paper from the desk.  He enjoys the happy hours.
