Martha is always busy with her job. She gets to the office before 8.30. She takes off her coat, puts on her reading glasses and sits down at her desk. Then she reads her mail and fills out the daily reports. If she has enough time, she has a cup of coffee.

At 9.00 the other workers arrive. Some of them are too tired to smile. Sometimes Martha is too busy to talk, but she says hello to everyone.

At 9.30 she goes into the boss’s office. She gives him the daily reports. They always talk about them for a few minutes. She tells the boss her plans for the day. Then she goes back to her office and makes phone calls. The company does business in England and Japan, so sometimes she has to call these countries.
