Ben’s daily routines

Hello, my name’s Ben Master. I’m 13 and I live in London with my parents.
Every morning I get up early at 7:30. Then I go to the bathroom to have a quick
shower. Mom usually prepares my breakfast in the kitchen. It’s always milk and a
cheese sandwich.
I leave the house at around 8:00 and take the bus to school. I have classes at 8:20.
I’m always punctual.
Lessons finish at 13:00 and I have lunch with my friend in the school canteen. Then I
go home. In the afternoon I do my homework. Sometimes it’s very boring but I
always do it. Then I go to the park and play football with my friends.
We eat at seven. Then I usually read a little. Occasionally I go to the cinema with my
friends. At around 9 o’clock I usually go back home because I have to be in bed at 10
pm. But mom always brings me some hot chocolate before I go to sleep.
