This is my typical day!
In the morning, I get up at 6.30 am and I have a shower. Then I get dressed and have breakfast. I have fruit and cereal. I ride my bike to school or I catch the bus. I arrive at school at about 7.45 am, and lessons start at 8 o’clock. My favourite lessons are history and PE. I don’t like maths! I have lunch at 12.00. School finishes at 3.30 in the afternoon, and I go home. In the evening, I do my homework and I play computer games. I don’t watch TV. I go to bed at 9.30 pm.
