listen to imagine
Imagine
(John Lennon)
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isn’t hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion, too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
You may say I’m a dreamer,
but I’m not the only one,
I hope someday you'll join us,
And the world will be as one.
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say...
Working from home

Working from home
I started working from home about five years ago. At first it wasn’t easy. I was lonely, I missed the office gossip, and I missed being part of a team. I felt very stressed and I worked long hours. Gradually I improved my lifestyle and now I love it. Working from home means I can live in the country and have views of green fields and trees. I don’t have to sit in traffic for hours every day, or wait for late trains.
If you don’t want to work all day and all night, it’s important to have a proper routine when you work from home. I get up early every day and do some exercise. Sometimes I go running, but usually I use my exercise bike. I have a shower and eat breakfast, and I start work at nine. I usually stop for half an hour for lunch. Sometimes I take a sandwich and go for a walk. I stop completely at five or half past five. I like to be with my family, so I hardly ever work at weekends.
When you work from home, it’s important to have your own space. Don’t work in the kitchen – imagine clearing away the breakfast things before you sit down at your computer! Work in the dining room, or the spare room. You can even build an office in the garden. That’s what I did, and it’s lovely.
Finally, if you have children, don’t let them come near your office when you are working. When you’re having an important phone conversation, there’s nothing worse than your children interrupting you!
