My name is Maya. I work at a small school from Monday to Friday. I start work at nine and finish at three. I usually walk to work with my neighbour, Ben. When it rains, we take the bus. On Tuesdays, I stay at school until five for a music club. I play the piano, and the children sing. I go swimming on Wednesday evenings. My sister comes with me, but Ben does not like swimming. On Saturday mornings, I buy food at the market. Sunday is my quiet day. I read at home and call my parents after dinner.
