very early. I always get up at 6:30 and I have a 20-minute shower. Then, I get dressed and comb

colleagues. They are wonderful people who have a good sense of humor, and they are good friends

too. At 3:30 I have a snack again; I usually have some tea and biscuit

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I go to the gym after work. When I get home, I have a

shower again, I prepare dinner and I watch TV for a while. I like to go to bed as soon as possible,

around 9:30.
Thursday is different because I don't go to the gym. I go out with my boyfriend every Thursday.

We sometimes go to the cinema or we go out for dinner and to have a drink.

My boyfriend's name is Daniel, he is 31 years old, and he's an architect. He likes cooking but he

doesn't like cleaning the house, so we share the housework.
