　　Eric Wilson, the reporter from Lifestyle Magazine, interviews two persons on how they spend their day．Read what they say and answer some questions．

　　My name’s Stella．I usually leave at around eight fifteen．It takes me around forty minutes, and we start at nine－sharp．I take a coffee break at eleven, and then have my lunch at one o’clock．Pretty much the same hours as most people, I guess．I generally get home around six o’clock, have a snack, and then watch the news on TV at seven．I eat around eight, watch more TV or read a book, and try to be in bed by ten．Pretty boring, really, but that’s life．

　　My name’s Sophie．You ask my daily routine---that’s kind of a strange thing to ask．Still, if you really want to know…I get up around eleven thirty, and I hang out and read the paper and drink some tea．Then I go to the gym around twelve thirty, till about one fifteen, I guess．Well, then I might do some shopping or visit a friend．I usually have something to eat around three thirty, and I leave home at six thirty, and get to work around seven．I work until eleven．I’m usually home by eleven thirty．I have a meal, watch TV or a video, and try and be in bed by one o’clock．Unusual, maybe, but I like it．
