  • Lesson 4 The double life of Alfred Bloggs

    There are two type of people in the society. People who do manual works can higher payment than people who work in the office. We usually called the later people as white-collar, which means they wear the suit and tie to go to work. The majority of people would to white-collar work with less salary, since their status can be repected by others. It is undoubted that Mr. Bloggs is such person. After he married, he was too embarrassed to say his job to his wife. He simple said her that he was in a corporation. Every morning, he left his home dressed in the black suit. Then, he arrived his corporation and changed back his overalls and worked as a dustman. Before returning home, he took a shower and dressed his suit. He and his fellow kept this secret. Thus, his wife had known that she married a dustman. Recently, this man obtained a new job, which he worked in a office. He felt vrey happy, even through lossing half as much as he used to be, since his status was improved, and people addressed his as Mr. Bloggs.
