I always get up very early in the morning, at half past six. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays I go to college. I finish college at twelve o’clock. Then on Tuesdays and Fridays I work at school in the morning. At lunch time, I usually cook lunch for my children and I sometimes go to school and work. In the afternoon, I generally drive my children to different places or I often play with them. I also study, read or prepare my classes. In the evening, I always cook and then we have dinner at about 9 o’clock. On Wednesday and Friday I go to college again
