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.
