AN IRISH TEENAGER'S TYPICAL DAY

My name is Sean O'Brien. I'm fifteen years old, and I'm Irish. I live in
Cork. From Monday to Saturday, my daily routine is always the same. My mum
always starts at seven o'clock in the morning when I get up and wash my face.
After that, I do some exercises, put my clothes on, and prepare my school bag.
Then I go downstairs and have breakfast with my mum and dad. I usually have
a sandwich and a cup of tea, but I never have sausages and eggs. After
breakfast, I always make my bed, and then I go to school. I stay at school from
eight o'clock in the morning till half past two in the afternoon. On Mondays
and Wednesdays, I stay later because I have drum lessons. On the other days, I
often play football with my friends. When I get home, I sometimes help my
mother in the house. I usually do my homework from five to seven o'clock in
the evening. At around seven o'clock we all have dinner together. After dinner,
I usually watch some TV and chat with my family. At 10 o'clock I read a book
and go to bed. After such a busy day, I always feel sleepy and ready for my
comfortable bed!
