- Renat, wake up! Hurry up! Youll be late for school! every morning my mother says. And today I wake up at about ten minutes past seven. After a few minutes I go to the bathroom. I wash my hands, face, brush my teeth and I go to dress myself. I put on my shirt, my jeans and a sweater.
Then I take my bag and go to the kitchen to eat my breakfast. After a few minutes the breakfast is finished. About twenty to eight I and my father go out. We get into the car and go to school. I come at school at about two minutes to eight, but I am not late. Today my class has even eight lessons. Here is the timetable:
1.The Bashkir language
2.The Russian language
3.The English language
4.Music
5.Computer science
6.Physics
7.Technology
8.Technology
Free time during the lessons is quite boring. I think breaks are too long in our school. They should by really shorter.
So, I come home at five oclock and start to do my homework. Today is a hard day for me because I do my homework about three hours and I get a five in English. My parents are mad at me and I am nervous. Later I go to have a bath and I go to sleep because it is late and I have to go to school tomorrow.
Think of what you do during the week-end and make up a plan for talking about it.
