SONYA

Well, my day starts at half past three in the morning. I know – can you believe that? I have  a hot shower to really wake me up and than a very light breakfast – just cereal and some orange juice. I get to the station at about five o’clock, so than I can talk to my team before I start my show at five thirty.

I prepare the music the day before, but I check things one more time to make sure. The show is four hours long, but the time seems to go by really fast. After the show, I get the music ready for next day. I get home after lunch. In the afternoon, I go to the gym or play tennis. I go to the bed early-of course! It’s the perfect job for me –people pay me to play my favourite music!

 

CLARK

I don’t get up early because I don’t go out to work. I work at home. I start in the afternoon, after lunch. It’s not good to work at home. It can be really boring. I don’t see other people-I just have my cat to talk to. And it’s not very healthy life, because I sit at my computer all the time.

When I don’t know what to write, I sometimes get up and go for a long walk, or make a cup of tea,

I can listen to music while I work-that’s cool-but I think I’d like a different job. I’m quite interested in begin a lawyer, or maybe I can work in an office.
