EVERYDAY LIFE

Hi. My name's Jeremy. I'm 12 years old.

I usually get up at 7 o'clock. Well. My Mum wakes me up! I brush my teeth; get
dressed. Well... almost... I often can't find my clothes! They are under the desk
sometimes or under my bed. It's terrible! My Mum often says: "Hurry up, Jeremy!
Youll be late." Before I go out I kiss her on the cheek and she says "Have a nice day. Don't forget to
eat your breakfast. "
At school my lessons start at 8 o'clock! We usually have five or six lessons a day.
I come back home around one or two p.m. My Mum waits for me for dinner because she doesn't go
to work.
I usually have some soup, meat or fish, but they are not my favourite. I like pizza best! After lunch I
usually play computer games or go outside to play with my friends. My Mum calls me to come back
home. "Jeremy! Do your homework first!" she says. I do my homework very quickly and then have
some time to do what I like.
My Dad comes back home around six. He is usually tired after work but he often plays with me. He
likes my train set. My Mum often asks: "Who's the child here, Jeremy or you?" It's because my Dad
can behave like a child, really.
We have supper at eight and then I have a bath or a shower. I brush my teeth,
wash my hands, face and everything. But I hate washing my hair because the
shampoo gets into my eyes. Then my parents start repeating: "It's time to go to
bed, it's time to go to bed!" So I go to bed - at nine. Sometimes I read my comics
before I fall asleep. It's really tiring to be a ten-year-old boy.
