Every morning, I wake up in my flat in the suburb and prepare for work. I feel lucky because I both enjoy my job as a bank clerk and live close to my workplace. After a quick breakfast, I hop on the public transport bus to avoid the heavy traffic. On the way, I sometimes stop by a news stand to grab a magazine. My colleague and I often talk about the huge factory that's being built in the countryside, as it will bring many new jobs to our neighbourhood. Sometimes, I wish I could work at a bookstore, where I could help people find their next favorite book. It seems to me that no matter where we work, the last-minute preparations before leaving home are always the same!
