Read about Emma’s daily routine.
Hi! My name is Emma. I’m ten years old and
I’m English. I live with my family in Brighton in the
south of England.
My day usually starts quite early. I always get
up at 8:00 on weekdays, but this week I’m waking
up an hour and a half longer. When I get up, I go
to the bathroom first. I wash my face to wake me
up, brush my teeth and then I have a shower.

that I comb my hair and get dressed. Today

juice today. I also play with my classmates in the playground. School
finishes at 3:30 and my dad picks me up and we come back home by car.
Then we have lunch together.
After lunch I play with my brother for a while and then I do my
homework and study. Twice a week I have a basketball practice. I love doing
sports.
Before dinner I sometimes meet my friends or watch a TV quiz. I
seldom play computer game, I simply find them boring. Tonight we are
having dinner together at 7:30. My brother and I often set the table. After
dinner I read a book or surf the Internet for a while.
At 9:30 I go to the bathroom to have a shower, brush my teeth and
put on my nightdress. Right now I’m listening to music on my MP3 player
because it makes me feel relaxed. This weekend we’re are traveling to the
countryside to visit our grandparents.
