Alfred is an American boy. He lives in Los Angeles,
California. He lives with his family in a modern house. He is
eleven years old, and he has an older brother, David, and a
younger sister, Emma.
He starts his day very early in the morning, at about half
past seven. He gets up, goes to the bathroom, takes a
shower, brushes his teeth, and gets dressed. Then he has
breakfast. And at a quarter to eight, he leaves home and
catches the bus to school.
Classes begin at half past eight. He usually has lunch at
the school cafeteria at half past twelve. After school, at a
quarter past five, he goes home. There he does his school homework, and when he finishes
it, he helps his mom setting the table. At seven thirty, the family has dinner together.
 Alfred is a very helpful boy, so he helps his mother cleaning up everything after dinner.
After dinner, he usually watches TV, and, at about ten p.m. the most, he washes his teeth
again, puts on his Spider Man pajamas, and goes to bed. His parents always kiss him good
night before he gets asleep. Alfred is a very happy boy!
