Read the following paragraph and then make questions by using


the question words.

Steven is a translator; he knows how to speak four different languages: English,


French, Spanish, and Chinese. He has to get up very early because he works at the
American embassy and it´s far from his house. Since he doesn´t have a car, he has
to take the subway to go to work. He goes to the cinema only on weekends
because he works the whole day from Monday to Friday.
