share the room. But we sleep on the different bed.
• I like to study in the morning at 4 o’clock. I study the lessons based
on the schedule. Sometimes, I check my homework and prepare
the books. At 5.30 Erna and I clean the room. Then we take a bath
in turn. While waiting, I help mother to prepare our breakfast.
• Then, I take a bath and prepare myself for school. After eating
breakfast, Erna and I go to school together. We go to school on
foot because the school is near our house. The school ends at 2
o’clock. I join an extracurricular activity after school, like English,
music, dancing, etc.
• I go home at 3 o’clock. Then, I go to the rice field to help my
father. Sometimes I swim with my friends in the river near the rice
field. Then go home in the evening, have lunch and do homework.
