How people live

As part of our weekly series, we asked Jane Hancock and Tim Greenwood to tell us about their lives.
Jane Hancock is ahardworking teacher in Sheffield. She gets up at half past six every morning and has breakfast. Then she makes her sandwiches and gets ready for work. Jane usually walks to work because she thinks it’s important to take exercise every day. She sometimes walks home again in the evening, but more often gets the bus. Jane has dinner at seven o’clock and goes to bed early. She doesn’t go out during theweek, but she often goes out with friends at the weekend. Jane makes sure that she eats five portions of fruit and vegetables every day and fish twice a week. She hardly ever eats meat and she doesn’t smoke.
For more exercise, Jane goes to the gym three times a week. She’s very healthy and is hardly ever ill.
Tim lives by the sea in Cardiff. He’s a journalist for a local newspaper. He usuallygets up at eight o’clock, has a quick shower and then drives to work. Tim doesn’t have time for breakfast, but sometimes has a sandwich in the middle of the morning. At lunchtime, he usually has a burger. He buys it from the fast food restaurant across the road and then eats at his desk. Tim works long hours and often stays late in the evening. On those days, he goes to a restaurant with people fromwork.
