Two busy people take time to tell readers about their lives.
William Jones lives in Winchester. He works in a museum in the city centre. William usually
gets up at half past seven and has a shower. He makes some sandwiches for his lunch and
then he has breakfast (tea and cereal) with his wife and their son, John. At half past eight
William drives John to school, then he goes to the museum. When William arrives he has
another cup of tea and plans his day. At five o’clock William closes the museum and drives
home. He usually has dinner and watches TV with his family in the evening, but on Fridays
he plays football with his friends. William works from Monday to Saturday, but he always has
Sundays with his family. They get up late, have breakfast, and read the Sunday newspapers.
In the evening, they usually go to William’s parents’ house for dinner.
Christina Sanders is a police officer in Fort William, a small town on the west coast of
Scotland. She gets up at six o’clock every morning, has a shower, and takes her two dogs
for a long walk. After her breakfast of fruit and cereal, Christina puts on her uniform and goes
to work. Christina works hard. Her job isn’t easy and she is sometimes stressed. She thinks
that it is important to do exercise and have a healthy diet. She usually has fish or pasta for
dinner. She hardly ever eats meat and she doesn’t drink alcohol. Christina has a very good
social life. Her friends often visit her in the evening and she cooks dinner for them. She
