students in the afternoon and finally correct my students homework and
mock tests. I leave school at 4.30 pm and go straight home. Once I arrive
back home, the first thing I do is help my children with their homework. I
have twin daughters and a son called Michael. The girls’ names are Sam and
Dawn. When I have finished with them, I spend some time cooking dinner for
everyone in the kitchen. My wife gets home from work just before we sit
