I’m from a small town in Queensland. Most people in Australia
live near the coast, but we live on a cattle farm in the centre of
the country. I get up at around 7 am and have breakfast. My
mother teaches at my college, so I usually go with her in the car
instead of taking the bus. College starts at 8:30 am and finishes
at 4 pm. When I get home, I help my dad on the farm for a few
hours. In the evenings, I try to watch TV, but I’m usually very
tired. I go to bed at about 10:00 pm.
I live in a village in Norway. I get up at 7:30 am and walk to
college. Classes begin at 8:30am and finish at 3 pm. After that, I
go to one of the college clubs. These are not very expensive, and
there are a lot to choose from. I do athletics and football, but you
can also do things like dancing and skiing. When my parents
come home from work, my dad makes dinner, and we all eat
together. After that, my mother takes me out for a driving lesson.
I have my test soon, and I need to practise.
I live in Rio de Janeiro. I get up at 6 am and catch a bus to
college at 6:30 am. Lessons start at 7:20 am. We have a break at
9:50 am and then study until 12:30 pm. I get home at about 1:40
pm. After that, I often go to the beach with my friends to swim in
the ocean or play football, but I sometimes also just stay at
home to sleep or study. In the evenings, I cook dinner for my
family, then we watch TV or listen to the radio before bed. I
switch off the lights at about 10 pm.
