Exercise 23 Morten Lauridsen from Copenhagen works for Unilever, a multinational Transport Engineering company. Here is an article about his normal working day. But it’s mixed up! Put the paragraphs in the correct order.

I can work till seven, or eight at the latest, then that’s it … I get in the car and drive home.

The first thing I do when I arrive is check my voice mails and my emails. I report to the brand manager and work very closely with him, so we usually have a word over a coffee first before the meetings begin. There’s nearly always a meeting – the first is about ten.

I’m an assistant brand manager and my typical day is – well I am hardly ever in the office before nine – but that’s OK because the Personnel department have a system of flexi-time so we can arrive between eight and nine thirty and leave between four and half five. In fact most of us work later than that … but we don’t get paid for it!

Then after lunch, usually in the canteen, there are more meetings… in fact I think I do some of my best work later, after five, when the meetings finish and the phone stops ringing.

This first meeting might be with Market Research to look at some data, or a budget meeting to discuss the next quarter, or about packaging, for example.
