HOW PEOPLE LIVE

As part of our weekly series, we asked Lila Rivera and Tim Greenwood to tell us about their
lives.

Lila is a hardworking teacher in Miami. She gets up at six thirty every morning and has
breakfast. Then she makes sandwiches to take for lunch and gets ready for work. Lila
usually walks to work because she thinks it’s important to exercise every day. She
sometimes walks home in the evening, but she usually takes the bus. Lila has dinner at
seven o’clock and goes to bed early. She doesn’t go out during the week, but she often
goes out with friends on the weekend. Lila eats five portions of fruit and vegetables every
day and fish twice a week. She eats meat sometimes, but she doesn’t smoke. For more
exercise,

Lila goes to the gym three times a week. She’s very healthy and is hardly ever sick. Tim
lives by the ocean in Palm Beach. He’s a journalist for a local newspaper. He usually gets
up at eight o’clock, takes a quick shower, and then he drives to work. Tim doesn’t have time
for breakfast, but he 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 street and 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 from work. They usually have a big dinner. Tim doesn’t eat
fruit, and he doesn’t like vegetables. He plays football once a month, but he isn’t very
healthy.
