How people live
As part of our weekly series, we asked Jane Hancock and Tim Greenwood to tell us 
about their lives.
Jane Hancock is a hardworking teacher in Sheffield. She gets up at half past six every 
morning and has breakfast. Then she makes her sandwiches and gets ready for work. 
Jane usually walks to work because she thinks it’s important to take exercise every 
day. She sometimes walks home again in the evening, but more often gets the bus. 
Jane has dinner at seven o’clock and goes to bed early. She doesn’t go out during the 
week, but she often goes out with friends at the weekend. Jane makes sure that she 
eats five portions of fruit and vegetables every day and fish twice a week. She hardly 
ever eats meat and she doesn’t smoke. For more exercise, Jane goes to the gym three 
times a week. She’s very healthy and is hardly ever ill.
Tim lives by the sea in Cardiff. He’s a journalist for a local newspaper. He usually gets 
up at eight o’clock, has a quick shower and then drives to work. Tim doesn’t have time 
for   breakfast,   but   sometimes   has   a   sandwich   in   the   middle   of   the   morning.   At 
lunchtime, he usually has a burger. He buys it from the fast food restaurant across the 
road and then eats at his desk. Tim works long hours and often stays late in the 
evening. On those days, he goes to a restaurant with people from work. They usually 
have quite a lot of wine with their meal and they all smoke. Tim doesn’t eat fruit and 
he doesn’t like many vegetables. He plays football once a month, but he isn’t very 
healthy.
