LUCY

This month, I find myself in a different town. I miss my house in the countryside, because I am living in a small apartment. These days I'm walking to work, which is a change from my usual routine. I am having lunch quite late in the afternoon, because of my timetable at the restaurant where I work as a waitress. It's very different from my usual life back home. I am wearing a uniform, and my evenings are spent washing dishes. It's challenging, but it's also an exciting adventure full of new experiences and personal growth.

Right now, I am sitting on a bench in the park opposite the restaurant. There are people of all ages enjoying this beautiful day. The sun is shining and children are playing hide-and-seek. A group of friends is having a picnic under an oak tree, sharing food and stories. A few families are flying kites, with their colourful tails dancing in the air. Cyclists are riding their bikes along the paths, and a group of runners are jogging by. A couple is sitting by the pond, feeding the ducks, while others are reading books on nearby benches. Some folks are having a drink, and a small group is playing footbal. Some other people are eating an ice-cream.

And guess, what am I doing? Well, I am listening to music and watching people in the park.

Acabas de escuchar a Lucy hablando de cómo ha cambiado su vida durante este mes, que se ha tenido que desplazar a otra ciudad para trabajar como camarera.

Fíjate que, en toda la descripción, Sophie solo se ha expresado en Presente Continuo. Utilizando el Presente Continuo, Lucy ha conseguido describir con detalle su vida durante estos días (distinta a su vida habitual) y contarnos qué hace la gente que hay en el parque donde ella está sentada ahora mismo.

Cuando acabes esta unidad, podrás contarnos algo parecido a lo que nos cuenta Lucy en su descripción.
