I’m from Scotland. I’m married with Jhon and we have two children. We live
in a modern flat in the center of Edinburgh, the capital city. I have a very
busy life. I get up every morning at half past six and I make breakfast for the
family. I leave the house at a quarter to eight and take the children to school
by car. Then I drive to my office. I’m a director in an international company. I
like my job very much and I like the people I work with. At lunchtime I meet
friends or I go to the gym but sometimes I don’t have time for lunch and
then I stay in the office. I finish work at six o’clock and get home at a quarter past six. Jhon doesn’t work every
day, so when he’s at home he makes supper and we eat at seven o’clock. He’s a very good cooker! In the
evenings the children do their homework and we watch television or a DVD.
