5. Reading: Always in the news

  

  

 

Ann Reynolds is a journalist. She works for a daily newspaper called The San Francisco Chronicle.

The work is quite tough. At 8.30 every day she’s in the office writing articles. Each one takes a lot of work. She makes hundreds of phone calls to find out information and most days she goes out to interview people or to attend a big event.

At 4 pm she’s back in the office, racing to finish her article. Then her editor reads it and she makes the final changes before the newspaper goes to print. She usually finishes work at 6.30 pm.

In her free time, Ann writes her own poems and books. Sometimes, she drives to the countryside.

Ann has some advice to give to young people who want to get a job like hers. “You can do anything you want to! The only thing you need is determination”.
