Today we will spend one day with American lumberjacks and learn in English to describe ordinary, regularly repeated actions and daily routines. Description of the daily routine English language. A lumberjack's working day

Each of the forest workers performs certain functions and performs actions that he repeats day after day. That's why Martin Lerner decided to interview lumberjacks so that, using their conversation as an example, you can learn how to talk about common, frequently repeated actions in English. Carefully read the dialogue between the journalist and Gordon, the head of the lumberjack team, find the speech structures with which ordinary actions in the daily routine are described in English:

Gordon:He is measuring the logs. Then he marks the logs. — He measures the logs (blocks). He also makes marks on logs.
Martin: What happens to the logs next? — What happens to the marked logs later?
Gordon: They are put on trucks, and then they go to the sawmill. — They are put on trucks and then they go to the sawmill
Martin: OK. You go to the next tree. Then what? - Fine. You go to the next tree. What about that?
Gordon:I cut that tree. It falls down. — I cut that tree. It's falling
Martin: How do you know where it’s going to fall? - How do you know where it will fall?
Gordon:Usually it goes where I want it to go. “Usually, it falls where I want it to fall.”
