I’m from Scotland. I’m married to Ian and we have two children. We live in a modern flat in the
centre 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, so I don’t eat I the office and then I stay in the
office. I finish work at six o’clock and get home at a quarter past six. Ian 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 cook! In
the evenings the children do their homework and we watch television or a DVD.
Emma is English. F
