Unit 6 A Day in the Life

Section B 1b

My name is Timo Halla. I’m 13 years old. I live with my parents in Helsinki, Finland. Now it’s December. Every Tuesday, I usually get up at 7:40. I often listen to the news or music. After breakfast, I walk to school. It’s only a 10-minute walk. My school begins at 9:00. There are 18 students in my class. Each lesson is 45 minutes long and there’s a break between lessons. I have one Finnish lesson and two home economics lessons in the morning. After that, I have lunch at 12:00. The afternoon lessons begin at 12:30 and finish at 2:15. Then I go to my ice hockey club.

I usually get home around 4:00. It’s already dark outside. I often have dinner at 6:00. After that, I read with my parents for an hour. That’s an important part of my everyday life. Then I prepare my schoolbag for the next day. At 9:30, it’s time for me to go to bed.
