Mr. Bhatnagar - I’m an English teacher and have a big family, so I have a very busy
daily routine. First I get up every day at six o’clock, get washed and dressed, leave for
work by seven thirty. I reach school at eight o’clock. I prepare my lessons and then teach
until noon. The other teachers and I always eat lunch and talk together in the teachers
room. I teach again in the afternoon and then correct my students’ homework and tests.
After I get back home, I help my kids with homework. I have three kids in elementary
school. Their names are Rahul, Rohan and Priyanka. Then I do some exercise, eat my
dinner with my family and watch TV before I go to bed at about ten o’clock. We love to
watch travel shows. Finally , I read books on bed before I fall asleep.

Mrs. Jyotsana - Well, I almost always get up early, at about five thirty. I get up early
because I like to go jogging along the beach and watch the sunrise. Later after breakfast,
I go to work. I work in a bank near my home. I don’t drive to work. I take a bus, as it only
takes about twenty minutes to go to work. After work, I like to go to my favourite bakery
and buy some fresh bread. I get home between five o’clock and five thirty. My husband
Michael usually makes dinner because he loves to cook. Infact, he is a chef in a
restaurant. His hobby is growing flowers in our garden. We also have a pet dog called
Wolfie. In the evenings we take Wolfie for a walk, and then get to bed by 09.30 p.m.
