Pedro Garcia

Pedro Garcia is from Mexico, but now he lives in the United States. He lives at 2530 E. Missionin Spokane, Washington. He lives in a three-bedroom house with his wife, Maria, and their four children. Pedro works for a small company in Spokane. He likes his job very much. He works five days a week.

On work days Pedro’s alarm clock rings at 6:00 AM. He usually wakes up right away, and goes to the bathroom. He shaves, takes a shower and brushes his teeth. After that he makes a quick breakfast. He usually has cereal and a piece of toast. He also drinks two cups of coffee. He drives his car to work and gets to work at 7 o’clock.

When he gets to work, he says good morning to his boss. His boss is really a nice guy, and Pedro likes him a lot. After Pedro says hello to his boss, he goes to his desk and starts to work. The first thing he does is to listen to his telephone messages to see if he has to make any phone calls. He works until 12 o’clock, and then he often walks to McDonald’s for lunch. He eats there because the food is not too expensive and the service is good.

After lunch Pedro takes a walk in the nearby park, and then he heads back to the office. He always gets off work at 4 o’clock. Right after work, he drives straight home. When he arrives home, he often reads the newspaper. Then he eats dinner with his family. After dinner he watches TV. He likes to watch the news. Then he helps his children with their homework. He goes to bed at 11 o’clock, and he falls asleep in a few minutes.
