III. Read what Luke says about a typical day in his life.
On a typical day I get up at 7 o'clock. I leave home about half an hour later and then I drive to work. The journey takes about 45 minutes, and to fill the time I listen to the news on the radio. I stop in a bar near the office before I get to work and I always have a large black coffee, but I don't have anything to eat. I don't like to eat in the morning. I always go to the same bar so the waiter knows me well and we talk about football or the weather. I start work at about half past eight and in the mornings I look at my e-mail, make phone calls and try to help my team with their problems. I have lunch in a restaurant near the office, and then in the afternoon I meet clients and talk to them about our products. I usually finish at about 6 o'clock, but if I have a lot of work, I don't leave until later - sometimes much later.
What do I do in the evenings? Well, every Monday I play football with some friends. On Wednesdays I have a three-hour Italian class. It's very difficult because I'm a beginner in Italian. The other days I always go running. It helps me relax. I don't watch TV; I think the programs are horrible. Most days I read - I like history books, and biographies of famous people. I go to bed about midnight.
