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 has 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 work on Saturday. In her free time she reads
books with the children and does exercise with her friend, Carmen.

Kenzo is a bank manager. He works in Osaka, Japan. He usually gets up very early and
leaves his flat at 7 o’clock. He takes the train to work and arrives at the bank at 8 o’clock.

normally listens to music and his wife, Mika, cooks dinner for them. At the weekend, he plays
golf or tennis with friends. On Saturdays, he and Mika often go to his parents’ house in the
