Cloverdale’s Characters
Nancy Johnson is 38 years old. She is Phillip’s
wife. She lives with her husband and children
in Lincoln, Nebraska. She’s from Kansas, the
state immediately south of Nebraska. She is
an interior decorator. In the morning, she
teaches interior design at a technical school
20 miles from Lincoln. She starts her classes
every day at 10:00 and finishes at 12:00. She
has two classes, each with about 15 students.
Then she goes home to have lunch. After
lunch, she goes to her husband’s bank where
she spends about 30 minutes with the
woman responsible for expansion. She looks
at the plans for the new bank branches and
gives recommendations about the interior
design and decoration. She doesn’t receive a
salary for this. She does it because the woman
is a good friend of hers. In the afternoon, she
works as an independent decorator. Some
days, she spends two or three hours visiting
different clients and other days she stays at
home creating decoration plans or calling
people. She decorates offices, restaurants and
homes. She doesn’t like to decorate offices
very much because the companies usually
prefer functional decoration and this is boring
for her. She doesn’t like to decorate
restaurants either, because often the owner
of the restaurant thinks that he’s a professional
decorator too. She likes to decorate homes
because she is free to make more decisions
and to be more creative.

Cloverdale’s Characters
Paula Eisenbach is 22 years old. She is in her
last year at the University of Heidelberg,
where she is studying computer systems and
graphic arts. She is from Munich, in the south
of Germany. Heidelberg is a town in
Germany famous for its beauty and for its
university. Paula likes it very much. She lives
in a flat with two other friends. One of them
studies graphic arts, too, and the other
works in a fashion shop in the center of the
town. Paula spends all of her time attending
classes, doing homework, and helping Tom,
an American student who lives near her in
Heidelberg. Tom is studying graphic arts, too,
but he is also working part-time for Walt
Disney Corporation as an artist for Disney
cartoons. Tom receives a lot of instructions
from the Disney people in California over
the Internet. With these instructions, he
draws the cartoon characters and scenes
and sends them back to California by
computer. Disney sends him a lot of work
and he gives some of it to Paula. Paula helps
him in the evenings and sometimes on the
weekends. She likes the artistic work
because she wants to improve her
technique. She likes to draw, and she’s very
artistic, but she doesn’t have the patience or
discipline to spend a long time developing
complicated scenes or characters. Tom is the
opposite and Paula is learning a lot by
working with him. They are very good
friends. Tom is from California and he wants
to go back for the Christmas holidays. He
wants to invite Paula to go with him. She’s
not sure because she doesn’t know Tom
very well yet.

Cloverdale’s Characters
Natasha Zarakovich is 28 years old. She lives
with her mother and brother in a small
apartment near Gorky Park in Moscow. She
is a chemist and works in the Russian State
Laboratory which analyzes and gives
approval to pharmaceutical drugs that
Russian laboratories produce or that foreign
companies want to sell in Russia. She likes
her job because she has a good salary and
the laboratory is not far from her house. She
goes to work every morning on the subway.
The laboratory is only three subway stops
away from her house and she usually reads
novels in English on the way to work. She
wants to improve her English because she
has a cousin who lives in Scotland. Her
cousin invites Natasha to visit him in
Scotland every year, but Natasha doesn’t
have enough money to go. She wants to go
next year, but she’s not sure yet. Every day
Natasha starts work in the laboratory at
7:30 in the morning. She prefers to begin
early because there are fewer people in the
subway at that time. She works continuously
in the lab until 12:00, when she goes home
to have lunch with her mother. She gets
back to the lab at 1:30 and continues until
4:30. Sometimes she stays past 4:30 if her
boss needs her help, but usually she goes to
the national library, near the laboratory, and
reads until 6:30 or 7:00. Her house is small
and noisy, especially when her brother and
his friends are there, and she prefers the
quiet and solitude of the library. She always
reads in English because she wants to take
the State English Examination. If she passes
it, she automatically receives an increase in
her salary.
