THE WORKING McMILLIONAIRE

Lottery winner returns to work.

Luke Pittard loves his job. So much so that he came back to work after winning 1.3 million pounds on the National Lottery 18 months ago. He missed his job at McDonald’s and got bored doing nothing. “To be honest, there’s only so much relaxing you can do. I’m still young and a bit of hard work never did anyone any harm,” Pittard says. He and wife Emma met working at Mcdonald’s, years before their windfall. After a number of holidays, a big wedding and buying a new house, Pittard got a bit bored. “My workmates all think I’m a bit mad, but I tell them there’s more to life than money.” His manager is thrilled to have the millionaire back behind the counter.

However, his wife doesn’t feel the same way. Emma doesn’t mind staying at home with their three-year-old daughter, Chloe. And she enjoys her millionaire status. However, she does understand why her husband misses the job. “We both really enjoyed working at McDonald’s and still have good friends there. It was really familiar for us, and something for him to look forward to,” she explained. Luke isn’t the first Lotto winner to go back to work. According to a survey, one in three big winners go back to work, and half go back to working full-time. Like Luke, most get bored staying at home. Even a job like flipping burgers at the local McDonald’s can keep a millionaire content.

LISTENING AND READING EXERCISE 2. 

HAPPY HOUR

European drinking hours

Work stress is a big problem. So, what’s the solution? Many people find relaxing at the pub is the answer. A recent study of European drinking habits shows that the British start drinking at about 6:14 pm and leave the pub at about 10:30 pm. The study also showed that the most popular day is Friday, and that they mainly drink beer.

On the other hand, French and Spanish people start a bit later, at around 7 pm. But out of the 15 countries surveyed, it’s the Danes who do the most drinking – they get to the bar at 4:40 pm and don’t leave till about 10:45 pm – that’s over six hours of drinking. However, alcohol abuse is more of a problem in the UK.

In 2005, the UK government passed the 24-hour drinking law. They did this in the hope that “rowdy” pubs would change into café-style venues, as in other European countries. Many felt that Britain’s problems with alcohol were, in part, due to the pubs  closing at 11 pm, because people drank too much, too quickly and too early on. However, since the change to 24-hour drinking, alcohol-related violence in many cities and towns has increased; and some hospitals report that alcohol-related admissions are up as well. At present, the government has no plans to change the laws, but they are trying to create awareness of the dangers of alcohol abuse with ad campaigns. As the evidence shows, extended drinking hours may affecting British drinkers with more than just a hangover the next morning.

E1. Explain with your own words what the following pieces from the reading mean: 

1. alcohol abuse

2. rowdy

3. venues

4. due to

5. admissions up

6. create awareness

7. extended drinking hours

8. hangover

E2. Answer the following questions. 

1. Do you know someone who goes out for a drink during the week? If yes, How often? Which day? How long for? What kind of alcohol drinks?

2. What do you understand by the expression "Happy hour" and what do you think the purpose of Happy hour is?

E3. According to the reading try to infer if the next sentences are true or false.

1. English people typically go drinking on Friday.

2. Alcohol abuse is a big problem in Spain.

3. With the 24-hour drinking law, the government hoped to make the pub scene more European.

4. The law has been successful in reducing alcohol-related violence.

E4. Do you know someone who has a serious problem with alcohol? What kind of advice, suggestions or recommendetions would you give that person to stop drinking?

Write 5 advice for that person using Should. Watch the following videos before.
