    My day was a nightmare!

    I had a job interview this morning but I


    forgot to set the alarm clock. I overslept and couldn’t have a
    shower or breakfast. I went to the garage putting on my shoes
    and setting my hair at the same time.
    The car wouldn’t start, and I was only able to make it work at the
    third time I tried. The traffic was awful and I arrived at the
    parking garage 5 minutes before the interview. Luckily I found a
    spot, but a guy in a red Mercedes tried to take it. I cut him off
    and managed to put my car there and – of course - he didn’t like
    it, he complained not in a nice way and I had to tell him what I
    think of people like him.
    I was quarreling with the jerk when I slammed my finger in the car door, and I was so nervous
    that I didn’t notice the keys were still in the car and locked it.
    I didn’t have time to deal with it at that moment, so I rushed to arrive for the interview on time
    and guess who the interviewer was: the guy I met at the parking garage!
    I wish I hadn’t gotten up today.

    Explain the title. Do you believe bad things always happen


    the title is because the protagonist has had together? Why do you think so?
    a bad day Not because it depends on how you
    Have you ever had a day like that? Tell respond to these bad things
    how it was. Have you heard about “Murphy’s laws”? What
    are they about?
    No I never a have a bad day Murphy's law is a statement based on an
    empirical principle that tries to explain the
    events that occurred in all kinds of areas,
    broadly based on the following adage: "If
    something bad can happen, it will happen."

    Number the bad things that happened to the woman:


    Got up late and got into a fight with the guy from the job interview
    What would you do if you were in the woman’s place?
    I would take things easy
    What would you have done differently? Why?
    I would have gotten up early
    How would you feel after a day like that
    Sad and frustrated
    Rewrite the woman’s story. This time she’ll have a nice day. If she had started
    her day differently, how would things go?

    My day was perfect!

    I had a job interview this morning. No I fell asleep and was able to shower and
    have breakfast. I went to the garage with my shoes on and my hair done.
    The car started and I was able to get it to work the first time I tried. There was no
    traffic and I arrived at the parking lot 30 minutes before the interview. Luckily I
    found a place, but a guy in a red Mercedes tried to take it. I offered him the place
    and managed to put my car somewhere else and of course
    he liked it, and he thanked me. I rushed to the interview on time and guessed who
    the interviewer was - the guy I met in the parking lot!
