My busy week ...

Three of our readers tell us about their lives.

Maria Jose lives in Tenerife, Spain. She gets up at 7 o’clock and goes for a walk on the beach. Then she takes a shower and
makes breakfast for her husband and her two children. She takes the children to school and starts work at 9 o’clock. Maria
Jose is a guide, and in the morning she shows tourists around the island. She always goes home for lunch, and then in the
afternoon she works in the tourist office in Santa Cruz. She works from Monday to Friday, and twice a month she also goes to
