PLAY or FAST-FORWARD?
By Matt Newman
Weekdays = work or study. Weekends = fun. Right? Not for my brother, Sam! For Sam, every
day is a fun day! He works from Monday morning to Friday afternoon, but he usually runs in the morning before
work. On Monday and Thursday, he plays soccer after work, and he goes out with friends on Wednesday. He
doesn’t go out every evening – on Tuesdays he stays home and watches TV. His way of life is “play now.”
My sister, Justine, is very different. She has fun, but not every day. From Monday to Friday, she works. She doesn’t
have time for sports, and she hardly ever goes out! It’s OK because Justine has free time on the weekend. She chats
with family in the afternoon and then goes out with friends at night. Her way of life is work, work, work, and
“fast-forward to the weekend.”
Sam and Justine are both happy people, but their ways of life
are very different. What about you? What’s your way of life?

B What’s Sam’s way of life: “play now”, or
“fast-forward”? What’s Justine’s way of life?

C PAIR WORK What’s your way of life: “play now” as June?
or “fast-forward to the weekend”? Tell your
partner. For ideas, watch June’s video.
