We all have breakfast at 8 oclock. I usually have a banana

yogurt smoothie and a piece of cinnamon toast. My brother
and my sister have a bowl of cereal and buttered toast.
After breakfast, I brush my teeth and comb my hair. We
all leave home at half past eight. My mother drives us to school and goes to the
local Health Care Centre. She is a nurse.
School starts at 9 oclock. My brother and my sister take a packed lunch to
school, but I like school dinners, so I usually eat at the canteen.
My mother picks us up from school at a quarter to four. We go home, have a
snack and do our homework, but sometimes we go to the park for an hour or so
and eat a hot dog. Yummy, yummy, we love hot dogs, dont you?
We have dinner around half past seven. My favourite meal is lasagna and
strawberry cheese cake. After dinner, I study a little bit more and then I watch TV,
surf the Net and play computer games.
My brother and I do judo on Wednesdays and my sister goes to the Chess Club
