Hello,

My name is Bart Simpson and I’m going to tell you all about me. I’m 10 years old and I live in a small
town called Springfield in the U.S.A with my parents, my two sisters: Lisa and Maggie and my cat
“Snowball”. I go to Springfield Elementary school and I’m on the 4 th year. I must say that I’m not a
very big fan of school because I don’t like studying. What I really like is skateboarding and I do it
all the time. I also like reading comics and playing baseball with my friends.
Every day I get up at seven o’ clock and I take a quick shower. Then, at twenty past seven, I get
dressed and at twenty to eight I have breakfast: cereals, a glass of milk and two pieces of toast.
After having breakfast, I go to school in the school bus. My first lesson starts at eight o’ clock. I
have classes until midday. Then I have lunch at the school canteen with my friends. After having
lunch, I have classes until four o’ clock and I arrive home around a quarter past four. From half past
four until six o’ clock I usually do my homework. After that I go skateboarding with my friends until
half past seven. At eight o’ clock, I have dinner with my friends and around half past nine I go to
bed.
What about you? Tell me about your daily routine!

Best wishes,

Bart Simpson
