He comes from London but now he lives and works in Bristol, a big city in the south-west of England. Today, on the World s Web, we ask Peter about his life and his job. How do you start a typical working day, Peter? Well, I get up at half past three in the morning, I have breakfast and a shower. I eat eggs and I always drink a lot of coffee before I start work. It s dark outside and it isn t easy to get up when it s so early and so dark. Then I walk to the delivery office. It s about 20 minutes from my house. What do you do at the delivery office? I work with ten other postmen. We work for four hours putting letters into bags. It isn t difficult to do but we work very fast. Then what do you do? At about 8.30, I take my big bag of letters and walk outside. On a typical day, I deliver letters to 600 addresses. Do you like your job? Yes. Well, usually. I don t like it when it rains. And I don t like working on Saturday morning when everybody is in bed. But I meet a lot of people. Old people are very friendly and I always speak to them. Some old people don t speak to many people in a day so I think it s important to say hello and be friendly. And after lunch I m free. I don t work in the afternoon, so I can go shopping or go cycling when other people are at work. And that s great! Example: What does Peter do? He s a postman. 1 What time does Peter get up? 2 Where does Peter live? 3 What does Peter eat and drink for breakfast? 4 Who does Peter work with? 5 What time does Peter leave the office to start his walk? 6 Does Peter like working on Saturday? 7 What does Peter do in the afternoon? 2 Read the text again and tick ( ) True or False.

He built bridges, railways, tunnels, and boats. But what do we know about his life and work? Brunel was born in Portsmouth in the south of England on 9th April 1806. His mother was English, but his father, Marc Brunel, was French. His father was a famous engineer in France, but he left his country in 1793. First he went to America and then to England, where he married an English woman in 1799. Isambard went to school in England and France, and spoke English and French. When he returned to England from school in France, Brunel went to work for his father. In his first job, he and his father built a tunnel under the River Thames in London. Then, in 1831, Brunel won a big competition. It was for a bridge across the River Avon in Bristol in the south of England. The Clifton Suspension Bridge took 30 years to build, but today it is one the most beautiful bridges in the world. In 1833, Brunel got a new job. He became chief engineer for the Great Western Railway Company, and work began on the train line from London to Bristol. Today, when you travel to Bristol by train, you go over beautiful bridges and through fantastic tunnels Brunel built them all. As well as bridges, tunnels and railways, Brunel designed some famous boats. The 'Great Western', built in 1837, was the first steamboat to go across the Atlantic Ocean to the USA. And the 'Great Eastern', built in 1859, was the biggest boat in the world. Brunel wasn t a good businessman. The Great Eastern was very expensive to build and he lost his money. He also smoked a lot every day and worked very hard. He was only 53 when he died on th September 1859. Example: Brunel wasn t an engineer. 1 Brunel s mother was French. 2 Brunel spoke two languages. 3 Brunel s father went to the USA. 4 Brunel s first job was in France. 5 Brunel s first job was working with his father. 6 They finished building the Clifton Suspension Bridge in the 1860s. 7 Brunel s train line went from London to Bristol. 8 Brunel didn t like hard work.
