Reading

A Typical Tuesday

My name is Priya and I live in London. On Tuesdays, I wake up at six thirty. I shower, make coffee, and catch the 7:15 bus. I work in an office and my shift starts at eight. At lunchtime, I usually eat a salad in the park near my building. After work, I go to a yoga class. In the evening, I cook dinner, read for thirty minutes, and go to bed by ten thirty. I enjoy my routine.

1. What time does Priya's shift start?

2. What does she do after work?
