Reading Describing Your Routine
Michael Dell’s working day Michael Dell is chairman of Dell Computer Corporation in
the US. For about 30 percent of his time he travels overseas and meets international customers. Each year he makes two or three trips to Europe and two trips to Asia. When he is at his home in Austin, Texas, he gets up at 5:30 a.m. each day. He lives with his wife, Susan, and their four children, who are all under the age of ten. His wife owns a clothes shop in Austin.
In the mornings he does exercises for an hour from 6:00 a.m. and then drives to his office. He arrives at 8:00 a.m. At his office he talks to customers and makes plansfor the organisation. He leaves the office at about 6:15 p.m. and has dinner with his family. He reads stories to his children and gets them to bed. He often spends time in the evening writinge-mails. ‘Then I go to sleep, get up and do it all again,’ he says. In his free time he likes to go running and biking. From The Times
