It is twelve o'clock. It is time for lunch. I leave my desk and walk to the lunch room. The lunch room is on the second floor. I take the stairs. The lunch room is big and bright. There are many tables and chairs. I see a microwave and a refrigerator. There is also a coffee machine. I bring my lunch from home. I have a sandwich and an apple. I put my lunch on a table. I go to the coffee machine. I make a cup of coffee. The coffee smells good. I sit down at my table. My colleague Anna comes in. 'Hello! Can I sit with you?' she asks. 'Of course!' I say. Anna has a salad for lunch. We eat and talk about work. 'How is your project?' Anna asks. 'It is going well,' I answer. More colleagues come to the lunch room. The room is now full of people. Everyone is happy and relaxed. I finish my sandwich. The apple is sweet and fresh. I look at the clock on the wall. It is almost one o'clock. Lunch break is almost over. I wash my cup and plate. 'See you later, Anna!' I say. 'Bye! Have a good afternoon!' she says. I go back to my desk to continue working.
