Kety Smith
I almost always get up early, at about five-thirty. I get up ealy because I like to
go jogging along the beach and watch the sun rise.
Later, after breakfast, I go to work. I work in a bank near my home. I don’t drive
to work, I take a bus. It only takes about twenty minutes to get to work. After
work, I like to go to my favorite bakery and buy some fresh bread. I get home between five o’clock
and five-thirty. My husband Michael usually makes dinner because he loves to cook. In fact, he is
a chef in a restaurant. His hobby is painting, and my hobby is growing flowers in our garden. We
also have a pet dog called Wolfie. In the evenings we take Wolfie for a walk, and then get to bed by
nine-thirty because we have to get up so early again the next morning.
Timothy Miller
I am an English teacher and I have a big family, so I have a very busy daily
routine!
First, I get up every day at six o’clock, get washed and dressed, and leave for
work by seven-thirty. I get to school at eight o’clock. I prepare my lessons and
then teach until noon. The other teacher and I always eat lunch and talk together in the teachers’
room. I teach again in the afternoon and then I correct my students’ homework and tests. After I get
back home, I help my kids with their homework. I have three kids in elementary school. Their names
are Mathew, Jon and Suzie. Then, I do some exercise, eat dinner with my family and watch TV
before I go to bed at about ten o’clock. We love to watch travel shows. Finally, I read in bed for a

Japan’s Most Famous Dog
In front of the enormous Shibuya train station in Tokyo, there is a life-
size bronze statue of a dog. Even though the statue is very small when
compared to the huge neon signs flashing, it isn't difficult to find. It has
been used as a meeting point since 1934 and today you will find
hundreds of people waiting there for their friends to arrive- just look for
the crowds.
Hachiko, an Akita dog,was born in 1923 and brought to Tokyo in 1924. His owner, Professor
Eisaburo Uyeno and he were inseparable friends right from the start. Each day Hachiko would
accompany his owner, a professor at the Imperial University, to Shibuya

4. train station when he left for work. When he came back, the professor would always find the dog
patiently waiting for him. Sadly, the professor died suddenly at work in 1925 before he could return
home.
Although Hachiko was still a young dog, the bond between him and his owner was very strong
and he continued to wait at the station every day. Sometimes, he would stay there for days at a
time, though some believe that he kept returning because of the food he was given by street
vendors. He became a familiar sight to commuters over time. In 1934, a statue of him was put
outside the station. In 1935, Hachiko died at the place he last saw his friend alive.
