Monday morning again! I always wake up early on school days. My alarm clock
rings at 7.30 but I usually have a lie in for about ten minutes. I get out of bed at
7.40. I have a shower and then I brush my teeth. For breakfast I usually have
cereal, but sometimes I have juice and toast. I often ride my bike to school, but
when I’m late, my dad drives me. I get to school at 8.30.

Classes start at 8.45. My first lesson today is maths with Mr Devons and then I

football with my friends Dan and Grant in the school playground. Lunch is at 1.00. I
sometimes bring a sandwich to school, but today is Burger Day in the canteen and
I always eat in the canteen on Burger Day! In the afternoon I have three more
lessons and school finishes at four.

play computer games with Tom. I go to bed at 10, but I always read before I go to
sleep at 10.30.
5 ____________________
And it’s Friday ... school is finished for the week! On Friday nights I have a
photography class with Mr Coombs from six to seven and then I usually go and
watch films at my friend Pete’s house. I’m always home by 10 o’clock. On
Saturdays and Sundays I never get up early. Sometimes I sleep until 11! Most

talk to you about a fantastic book fair I went to at the weekend in London.
At the beginning of the summer, in early June, I read a(n) (1) __________ story. It
was about a man and a woman who really wanted to be together, but weren’t
because they lived in different countries – the man lived in the USA and the woman
lived in Russia. In the end, the man went to Russia to find the woman. When he
found her, she was working in a terrible little restaurant. When the man and woman
saw each other, the woman cried and so did I!

fair was on Saturday, 2nd September. It began at 9am and ended at 6pm I got
there at 9.30 and didn’t leave until the very end! While I was waiting to buy a book
