About my daily routine. There are a lot of things I’ve to do during the day.

I get up at half past seven every morning. I clean my teeth, make my bed, do morning exercises, have breakfast and go to school.

My lessons at school start at nine o’clock. Usually I have six lessons a day. We have breaks for the rest between our lessons. After the third lesson we usually have lunch. I have lunch in our canteen.

After school I go home and have dinner. After dinner I like to go for a walk with my best friend. But twice a week I go to the swimming pool after school. I like it very much.
At five o’clock I do my homework. After it I usually help my mother with my younger sister. We play together. Sometimes I read fairy tales to my sister.
