My task is to simulate activity of couple of persons. Each of them has few activities to perform in some random time: fast (0-5s), medium(5-10s), slow(10-20s) and very slow(20-30s). Each person performs its task independently in the same time. At the beginning of new task I should print it's random time, start the task and then after time passes show next task's time and start it. I've written run() function that counts time, but now it looks like threads are done one after another and not in the same time or maybe they're just printed in this way.

public class People{
  public static void main(String[] args){
    Task tasksA[]={new Task("washing","fast"),
                new Task("reading","slow"),
                new Task("shopping","medium")};
    Task tasksM[]={new Task("sleeping zzzzzzzzzz","very slow"),
                new Task("learning","slow"),
                new Task("  :**   ","slow"),
                new Task("passing an exam","slow") };
    Task tasksJ[]={new Task("listening music","medium"),
                new Task("doing nothing","slow"),
                new Task("walking","medium")  };

    BusyPerson friends[]={ new BusyPerson("Alice",tasksA),
                           new BusyPerson("Mark",tasksM),
                           new BusyPerson("John",tasksJ)};

    System.out.println("STARTING.....................");
    for(BusyPerson f: friends)
      (new Thread(f)).start();
    System.out.println("DONE.........................");
  }

        t1 = (double)t.time/1000;
        System.out.println(name+" is...    "+t.task+"    "+t.speed+
                "   ("+t1+" sec)");
        while (time == t.time) {
            try {

                return;
            }
            time = time + 100;
        }
    }

}  
}

And my output :

Mark is...    sleeping zzzzzzzzzz          very slow         (36.715 sec)
Mark is...    learning          slow         (10.117 sec)
Mark is...      :**             slow         (29.543 sec)
Mark is...    passing an exam          slow         (23.429 sec)

John is...    walking          medium         (11.322 sec)

Whilst it should be like this :
