Making the most of retirement

Harry
I was a news journalist until I was 60. I wanted to retire and have more time with my wife.
Sadly, she died five years ago and now I’m alone in the house. Our son, Jamie, is a teacher
in Morocco and last year I went there for a holiday. I travelled to lots of countries when I
worked, but this was my first trip to North Africa. I really want to go back. I’d like to travel into
the Sahara and take photographs of the people and animals that live there, but I need to
learn a bit of Arabic first.
Annette
Nine months ago I retired from my job as a French teacher, sold my flat in London, and
moved to a small village. It’s incredibly quiet after London, but my life is much busier now.
I’m decorating my new house and I’m learning to drive – I never needed a car in London. I
spend a lot of time in my garden, too. I enjoy working in it and I’m planning to grow
vegetables next year and I also want to get some chickens. There are sometimes problems,
but luckily, my neighbours are really friendly.
Megan
Yesterday was my last day at work and now I can do what I want. After forty years as a cook,
I need to lose a few kilos, so I’m going to learn to play golf. I’m planning to do a computer
course at the local college. It’s a good way to learn about computers and meet new people,
and I’d like to make some new friends. I’d also like to get a new computer so I can chat with
my grandchildren on the internet every day – they live in Dubai and I don’t see them very
often
Example: Harry worked in television until he retired.
