8A.1
She's always in a hurry. Her classes start at 7 so she's up at 5.30 and never has time to do exercise. She has fruit, a white coffee, a piece of bread and some cheese for breakfast. Then she has a shower and gets ready for work. She wears jeans and a blouse and very little make-up. She goes by car and it takes about 45 minutes although sometimes the traffic can be awful. Last week she was really late because of an accident. She gets to work at about 6.45. Her timetable is quite tough - she has to to teach five classes before lunch without a real break. By lunchtime, she's often starving.

4. We have dinner at about 8.30pm.
5. Thiago has football training twice a week.
6. We don't usually go to bed before 11.30pm.
8A.5
Every day I have lunch at the same restaurant near the school. It's a self-service restaurant, a ´por kilo´ - you pay according to how much your food weighs. All the teachers at my school eat there. I usually only have a salad with either chicken or fish. I can't eat two big meals a day. I'm careful about what I eat and try to have red meat only once a week if I can. Then it's back to work at another school. I normally teach eight or nine classes a day.
In the evenings I get home at about 7.00. Like most Brazilians I have to watch the soaps so we generally have dinner after the first one, at about 8.30. Thiago has football training twice a week so we eat later on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If we have meat, vegetables or feijoada, Thiago cooks. If we want rice I do it because he hates cooking rice. After dinner, we just relax and watch TV or listen to music. We hardly ever go out during the week. We don't usually go to bed before 11.30. Six hours' sleep is enough for me and I can't sleep if I go to bed too early.
