Story
Emma lives in a small town and works as a designer. She starts her day early and follows a simple routine. Every morning, Emma wakes up at six thirty. She drinks a glass of water and makes breakfast. She usually eats eggs and fruit and listens to music.
At eight o’clock, Emma leaves home and walks to work. Her office is not far, so the walk takes only fifteen minutes. At work, Emma checks her emails and plans her tasks for the day. She works on different projects and talks to her colleagues.
At noon, Emma has lunch at a café near the office. She likes this place because it feels calm and friendly. After lunch, she returns to work and finishes her tasks.
