I´m from Spain but I live in the USA, in a small town near Boston. I´m married and I have two children. My wife is a psychologist and has her own office in town. I work for a software company and I have many responsibilities. I am in charge of all the team and I monitor sales, marketing and public relationships. English is very important is my job. Every morning I read the American financial newspapers and then I use English for emails and phone calls. I also have meetings with colleagues and business lunches, and they`re all in English. I start my day very early in the morning. I leave home at 6:30 am and I go to work by car. I have breakfast in the company; I generally have a coffee and some cookies. Then I work all morning and I stop for lunch. I finish work at 6 pm and I go home. It´s a long day but I enjoy my job, it´s very interesting and demanding. At the weekends I work at home too, we have business meetings in my home because I can´t stop working! My friends say I’m a workaholic, and…it´s true!
