Jeden Morgen steht Klara um halb sieben auf. Zuerst trinkt sie einen Tee und isst ein Brot mit Käse. Danach duscht sie und zieht warme Kleidung an. Um acht Uhr fährt sie mit dem Fahrrad zur Arbeit. Der Weg dauert fünfzehn Minuten und führt durch einen großen Park. Im Büro liest sie E-Mails und telefoniert mit Kunden. Am Mittag isst sie mit einer Kollegin in der Kantine. Nach der Arbeit kauft sie noch schnell Gemüse für das Abendessen. Zu Hause kocht sie und hört dabei Musik. Klara mag ihren ruhigen Tag sehr.
