Alzira Varela Read the following text carefully:

Ken is twelve years old and he doesnt like getting up early, like many other kids of his age. Every morning, his mother has to call him three or four times after the alarm clock rings! He has a quick shower while his mother prepares his breakfast: a glass of milk and cereals. His parents are already waiting for him in the kitchen and they always greet him with a smile. After breakfast he makes his bed and runs to the bus stop. He catches the bus to school at 8 oclock and arrives there at 8.20 am. He goes to Leeds Elementary School and he is in the 7th form. Morning lessons start at 8.30 am and finish at 12.30 pm. By then, he goes to the canteen with his friends to have lunch. He loves the lunch break because he gets together with his friends and they play a lot of games. His favourite is Hide and Seek. He is quite a good student and his favourite subject is Maths. In the afternoon, he has Drama and swimming lessons, which he also adores. At 5 pm he is home again. His parents return from work at 6.30 pm so he is alone for an hour and a half. During this period of time he does his homework and sometimes reads or watches TV. Dinner time is at 7.30 pm. Ken helps his mother and lays the table. After the meal it is his father who clears the table and the dishes and puts them in the dishwasher. Before going to bed, Ken prepares everything for the next day and reads a little. He goes to sleep at 10.30 pm.
