ETHAN’S DAILY ROUTINE

My name is Ethan. I am 11 years old. I am Australian

and I live with my mother, my brother and my sister in

Brisbane, in the southeast corner of Queensland, Australia.

My day starts at half past seven, when my mother wakes

me up. I take a quick shower and put on my school uniform.

We all have breakfast at 8 o’clock. 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 o’clock. 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, don’t 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

on Thursdays. At weekends I go to the park and play football. When the weather is

fine I go to the beach.
