My daily routine
Hello!
My name is Garfield. I was born on the 19th June 1999. I am twelve years old. I am
American: I was born in Washington, in the United States. Now I live in
New York with my friend Jon and Odie, the stupid dog. Odie is four
years old. It is so stupid... I have a teddy bear: its name is Pooky. I
really love it!
I am a very busy student. I get up at half past seven and I have a
shower. I have breakfast at a quarter to eight. I listen to the radio when
I have breakfast. I go to school at a quarter past eight. I
meet my friends at the bus stop and we take the bus to school. Lessons
start at nine o’clock. My favourite subject is History.
I have lunch at school at half past twelve. My favourite food is
lasagne. After lunch I have classes again. I finish school at half past three
and I go jogging in the park. I love running! Then I go home at four
o’clock.
When I arrive home I do my homework. I study from half past four to seven o’clock.
I watch TV until eight o’clock. I have dinner at eight o’clock. I wash my teeth and I go to
bed at half past nine. I read for twenty minutes and then I go to sleep.
Write to me and talk about your family and your daily routine.
Your friend,

Garfield
