Read the blog and answer the questions.

Welcome to my blog. My name’s Claudia and these are some of my best friends.

Gerd

Gerd’s slim and tall and he’s from Germany. He teaches German. He’s a workaholic and he works 12 hours a day Monday to Friday and sometimes at the weekend. He doesn’t like his job because he doesn’t have time for his hobbies. He lives alone in a small house and in his free time he sleeps! He calls me when he’s on holiday!

Nancy

Nancy is fair and attractive and she lives with me. There are five people in our house. She’s a student and in my opinion, she’s a couch potato! She doesn’t get up before midday, she has a snack and then on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays she goes to university because she has lessons. She doesn’t play any sports but she likes surfing the Internet.

Peter

Peter is young and dark and he’s a health freak. He works in a gym and he plays a lot of sports. He gets up at 6 o’clock every morning (except on Sunday when he gets up at 7!). He eats a lot of salads, fruit and fish but he doesn’t eat cakes and snacks. We both study French because we like French people.
