Two Writers
My name’s Simon Charlton, and I’m a writer. My wife’s name is Louisa, and she’s a teacher
in a language school and also a writer like me. I’m at my desk every day, but Louisa has
classes at school on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Let’s look at Louisa’s desk. On her desk, she has an expensive laptop, a pink notebook, and
two green pens. She also has three or four dictionaries, a box of tissues, and a beautiful blue
lamp. Her keys, glasses, and change purse are in her bag, and the bag is under the desk.
Louisa is very neat. I think she feels stressed when she looks at my messy desk.
I have a big, dark gray desk with keys, old bus tickets, magazines, a photo of my family, and
a lot of books on it. I have boxes of books under my desk too.
I have a computer, like Louisa does, but I also write a lot on paper. I have hundreds of pens
and pencils, and I have pages from my books all over my desk. I’m hot in my chair, but I
don’t open the window because I’m worried about all the pieces of paper!
