A Daily Routine

My name is Mike. I’m nine years old and I’m an elementary school student. I get up at seven o’clock every morning on weekdays. I brush my teeth and get dressed. Then, I have breakfast with eggs, honey, butter, cheese, olives, and tomatoes. I prefer drinking orange juice. After breakfast, I leave home about eight o’clock and go to school by bus. I have lessons between half past eight in the morning and three o’clock in the afternoon. I have lunch with my friends at school at quarter past twelve.

After school, I attend my music course at quarter past three and play beautiful songs with my violin. I usually get home at about five o’clock and watch some series on TV. I do my homework and have dinner with my family at eight o’clock. After dinner, I go to my room and listen to music. I sometimes go online and search for information about my school subjects. I read a book before I go to bed. I always sleep at half past ten.

On Saturdays, my family and I usually go to a supermarket and do shopping. We sometimes go to the cinema and watch a film. In the afternoons we go for a walk in the park and feed the birds there.

On Sundays, my family and I always visit my grandparents. They live in a village, and they have some animals. I play with their dog Goldy and milk the cows. Sometimes, I pick fruits or vegetables from their garden. Cherries and plums are my favorite. We all sit in the living room and talk to each other. In the afternoon, we go home at about four o’clock.

Next weekend, our routine will be different because it’s my birthday. On Saturday, my mother will make her delicious strawberry cake and invite my friends to our home. We’ll play games, but I’ll go to bed early because on Sunday we’ll go to the beach.
