MID TEST
Brian Law is a train driver for Eurostar. He drives high speed trains in England and in Europe.
Brian works four days a week. Sometimes he's free at the weekend, but usually he works on
Friday and Saturday. Friday and Saturday are very busy days for Eurostar because everybody
wants to go on holiday or go home for the weekend. Eurostar runs every day (but it doesn't run
on Christmas Day). The first train to Paris leaves London at 5.25 in the morning, so Brian starts
work at 4.30. In one day, he does two or three journeys between London and Paris. He finishes
work at 12.00 noon. Sometimes he starts late - at 4.00 p.m. - and works until 11 .30 at night.
Sometimes he doesn't go home at the end of the day, he stays in Paris.
The journey
The journey takes 2 hours 15 minutes, and the train travels at 300 km/h. It doesn't go so fast in
the tunnel - it only goes at 160 km/h when it travels through the tunnel. It carries 794 passengers.
When the train is in France, Brian speaks to his controllers in French. His French is very good.
He has a lot of French friends, and his son, Toby, goes to stay with them in Paris. Brian earns
£45,000 a year. In his free time, he likes going out with his wife, Angela, and walking their dogs.
Angela is a chef, so she works at weekends too. She has Monday free and goes walking with
Brian. He has 25 days of holiday a year. Where does he go on holiday? 'France, of course!' says
Brian.
