Reading
Pre-reading task
Looking at the title of the text try to predict what this text is about .(The text based
on a real person from Edinburgh). What kind of lifestyles do you think this man
has?
A COUCH POTATO
Forty-three-year-old Brian Blakey from Birmingham is sitting on his sofa and
telling me the story about his perfect day.
When I wake up I don’t get up immediately. I turn on the television and watch the
children’s programmes and old movies until about half pest ten. Then I get up, go
downstairs and switch on the telly. For lunch, I have biscuits and a glass of milk,
and I watch the news. In the afternoon, I often watch another old film they’re
showing ones at the moment. In the evenings, I often watch soap opera or sport and
the news again. I like the main news at six o’clock. At nine thirty, if there’s a good
play on BBC2, I switch over and watch it. Then at night I watch more films and
usually switch off the telly at about two o’clock. I never watch TV all night.
I watch TV for sixteen or seventeen hours a day. I also do some exercises every
day. I take Tina, the dog, for a walk every afternoon. I don’t go far, of course. I
walk to the wall outside my house. I always take my portable telly and sit on the
wall while the dog walks round the circle.
Of course, I couldn’t live these lifestyles without a good wife. She’s not at home
now because she’s working, but she always makes my meals. We haven’t got
much money, you know, but we’re happy.
A) Read the text quickly and check your answer.
B) Read the text more carefully and answer the questions:
1. How many hours of TV does Brian watch?
2. List the programmes he watches in bed, at lunchtime and at night.
3. Find two examples of lazy behavior.
