My name is Sergei. I’m ten years old. To have time to do everything I try to map out my time correctly. I wake up at 7 o’clock every day except Sunday. I wash myself, clean my teeth with a tooth-brush and have my breakfast. In the mornings I like to eat fried eggs or omelette, cheese sandwich and to drink white coffee. My lessons begin at 8:30. I have to get to my school four stops by bus and not to be late I leave home at 7:50. At 2 o’clock the lessons are over. If the weather is good I like to go home from school on foot. After dinner I like to watch TV. I go in for boxing twice a week. My training begins at 3 o’clock and lasts for an hour. Then I do my homework. My parents go home after their work at half past five and we have supper at about six o’clock. I go for a walk with my friends in the evening. We go to the cinema or spend time in the public garden. I go to bed at 10 o’clock.
