Being Unemployed

Most people are much more frightened by being unemployed than they need to be. / Being unemployed certainly has disadvantages, / but there are good things about it too. / One advantage is that you don’t have to get up early to work in the rush hour. / You can stay in bed as long as you like, / and there is plenty of time to read the newspaper and have a leisurely breakfast. /But the best thing of all is that you are your own boss/ and there is no one to tell you what to do and when to do it. /One drawback of being unemployed is that you haven’t got much money coming in—/ having a job at least enables you to save a lot of money to go on holiday. /On the other hand, when you are unemployed/ you needn’t go on holiday, / because you are on holiday already. /In fact, the main trouble is that you have to spend much time looking for a job.
