READING
1 Read the extract below, which is from an article about the
actress Jenny Agutter. Then on a separate sheet of paper write
down what she does:
in Los Angeles
in Britain
a) in the morning
b) in the afternoon
c) in the evening
SUNDAY
BEST
Actress Jenny Agutter talks
about her Sundays on both
sides of the Atlantic.
'Whether I'm at home in Los Angeles
or staying in England Sunday is
a
day to relax, and so there are no
alarms set.
In California breakfast is fruit
and yoghurt followed by pancakes
and lots of coffee. Most of the
morning is spent reading the
newspaper, eating pancakes and
pottering around the house doing
things like gardening or tidying up.
However, I don't iron on a Sunday.
My pet hates are ironing and
washing up.
In the afternoon I go out on my
bike — maybe to the beach, where
there are lots of people around, and
it's very livery. Otherwise I drive
into the hills near Hollywood and
walk in the forests. This is really
wonderful, because there are some
beautiful waterfalls and it's usually
very quiet there.
Later in the afternoon I have
friends round and we either have a
barbecue or go out to a Chinese
restaurant. In the evening I stay in
and watch a late night movie or a
video. I particularly love old Gary
Grant films.
When I'm staying in England I
stay with my parents, who live in
Brixton, or rent a place if I'm
filming. Sunday is still a late
morning. I may have a croissant and
a cup of coffee for breakfast but I
don't eat much because I look
forward to a traditional English
Sunday lunch. I don't mind
cooking, so I spend the morning
doing that. I love roast lamb so I
usually have that, followed by
sherry trifle.
Lunch is a time for seeing family
and friends, so it usually takes a long
time — eating, drinking wine and
relaxing.
If I don't cook it's nice to go and
have Sunday lunch at a country
pub. I really miss pubs, and
Guinness, when I'm in LA. I have
always loved walking since I was a
child, so if I'm in London I enjoy a
stroll along the canal in Regent's
Parkin the afternoon. lalwaysleave
the newspapers until the evening
when I'm over here, and I buy them
all - from the gossipy ones to the
serious ones. I probably have just a
light meal in the evening and again
spend the evening watching
television rather than going out.
I'm so busy during the week that
Sunday has become my most
precious day. It is one of the few days
that I get eight hours sleep, which
sets me up for the next week.'

Woman's Realm)
