Das eigene Leben. Und weil es am einfachsten ist, etwas über sich selbst zu
erzählen, dreht sich gleich das erste Modul ganz um die Lernenden – ihre
Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft.
Inhalt
Alle vier Module stellen die
Lernenden und ihre Bedürfnisse

also worked in London. But now he doesn’t travel to work; he
works from his home office. That means he can do his work,
look after the children and also do the housework. Well, that’s
the theory. Sometimes he needs some help. Then he calls his

my co-workers were quite friendly,
and when I left to go to university,
they had a little party for me and
gave me a lovely pen as a farewell
gift.
As a student I had a variety of jobs
in the summer holidays. I worked
in an office, in a restaurant, on a
farm (not my uncle’s), at the airport
and in a button factory. Yes, in a
button factory. I can tell you, I
never wanted to see another
button again after that! The jobs
were all a lot of fun, and I met
some interesting people, but the
money wasn’t all that good. It was
fine for a student, but I couldn’t
wait to start my first real job.
After university I got a very good
job as an engineer with an
international company. Of course, I
had to work long hours and I had
to travel to different parts of the
world: Asia, South America, all over
Europe and even Australia. I used
married. My wife wasn’t too happy
that I was away from home so
much, especially when our first
child was born. After the birth of
our second child I took paternity
leave for six months. And that
changed my life. I decided that I
didn’t want to spend so much time
away from home any more.

My employer didn’t have any work
for me in the company office, so in
the end I had to quit my job. It
wasn’t easy to find another job. In
fact, I was out of work for nearly a
year. Then an old friend from
university called me one day and
asked if I was interested in working
for him. It was still engineering
work, but there wasn’t so much
travelling to do, and I could also
work from my home office at least
two days a week. I didn’t need to
think about it for too long. I said
‘Yes’ the very next day, and I’ve
been working for him now for
almost five years. So what do you
