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,

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
