IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Lorna: I might retire early. I don’t know. I’m 55 and my husband retired last year. He

spends most of his time in the garden. I’d really like to be there with him though I am not

quite fond of the tasks. I’m definitely going to learn a new language. I hate going abroad

and speaking English.

Cass: I’m only 26, so I’m not going to retire soon! In fact I want to have more chances to

earn our living. Jamie and I are going to have a baby next year and we’re really excited

about that. We want to have a big family and live in a big house. Then, when I retire, my

children and grandchildren will all be able to stay.

Sue: Well, Roger and I don’t agree about retiring. I love work and I don’t want to retire! I

know I won’t have anything to do.

Roger: I asked my boss at work recently and I might be able to retire next year. I might

buy a house in France and spend the time that my family deserved to have with me long

before. I’d love to have my first long-awaited visit to Paris with my wife one day.

Linda: I want to retire as soon as possible. I have three sons and now I don’t even have

time to play with them. They will become

mature

very soon and don’t want to spend

quality time with me. I can’t stand the thought.
