MetroNaps

Today we will

• talk about daily activities
• learn to say the time

Will Cotton works in an office in New York. He goes to work at 7:30. He starts work at 8:15. He usually finishes work at 6:00, but has meetings after work. After his meetings he goes to the gym, or has a drink with friends in the cafe. He gets home at 9:00 and has dinner. He goes to bed at 12:15 am. It's a very busy day. How does he do it?

'Easy', says Will, 'At 4:30 I go to MetroNaps.' MetroNaps is a company in New York. At MetroNaps you get into a machine called the MetroNap pod. You listen to quiet, relaxing music and then go to sleep. After twenty minutes, the pod moves with music and light and you wake up.

MetroNaps also has a cafe, and there are sandwiches and drinks for you after your nap.

Will likes MetroNaps. ‘I get my best ideas in bed, not at a desk’, - says Will. ‘When I go to work after a nap, I'm relaxed. I'm not stressed in meetings after work. I do more with my day.'

The MetroNaps offices are in the Empire State Building in New York. It's open from 10:00 to 6:00. It's a very quiet place.
