16.Ten years ago I used to be very fit.I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends.I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks.In those days I didn't earn very much.I had a job in an office.It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
Then,about eight years ago,I got a much better job.The pay was better,but the hours were a lot longer.I bought a car and drove to work every day.I began to take people out to lunch.And I began to put on weight,too.I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more.
There's a lot of stress(壓力) in my job.Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to.For example,I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home,but then I started filling my glass to the top,and instead of having one glass,I would have several.I started smoking a lot,too.I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack.At first I just couldn't believe it.Luckily it wasn't very serious.The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less.He also advised me to work less and get more exercise.But I just haven't any time!My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job.Perhaps I could do something as I used to.But if I do that,I won't earn as much.I have a family to support.I have to think of them,too.I just don't know what I should do.What do you think?
