READING: "A NORMALLY DAY IN MY LIFE"

After this�I have breakfast that mum prepares and I go to school. My parents can't have lunch with my sister and me, so we have lunch at school. At five o'clock we leave the school and mum is waiting for us in her car. We normally arrive home at half past five, but we sometimes go shopping so we get home at half past six. Then dad obligates us to do our homework and he lets us watch TV when we finish. Then mum makes a delicious dinner, finally�I 'm often tired so I go to bed at half past ten.
