TEXT 1. MY FIRST DAY AT WORK
My first day at work didn’t go according to plan.
I arrived early to make a good impression, but when I got there the lift was out of order .
The office is on the 22^nd floor but I decided to use the stairs .
While walking up them I feel over and hurt my knee.
By the time I got to the office I couldn’t walk anymore
My new boss told me to go to the hospital to make sure the problem wasn’t very serious.
I didn’t even get to see my new desk before I left.
TEXT 2. MY FIRST CAR
I will never forget the first time I drove a car by myself.
I had just passed my test and I was a proud owner of a driving license.
However, I didn’t have a car, and my parents would not let me drive theirs.
So, when I saw an advertisement in the local paper for a cheap second-hand car, I didn’t waste a moment.
I called the number in the advert and arranged to meet the owner on the other side of town.
We agreed a price and when I handed over the cash, he gave me the keys.
I drove off full of confidence, but unfortunately, I hit a lamp post at the end of the street.
