📖 Reading

My name is Lena. I have got a big family, and every day is busy for us! We have got a clock on the kitchen wall, and it helps us a lot. My father gets up at six o'clock. He drinks one cup of coffee and reads the newspaper. My mother gets up at half past six. She makes breakfast for the family. There are four people at the table: my father, my mother, my brother, and me. School starts at eight o'clock. My brother is nine years old, and I am eleven years old. We walk to school with two friends from our street. School finishes at half past three. After school, I do my homework for one hour. In the evening, we eat dinner at seven o'clock. On Saturdays, we don't go to school. We visit my grandparents. My grandmother is seventy years old, and she makes delicious cakes! We usually have three or four cakes on the table. At night, I go to bed at nine o'clock. My brother goes to bed at half past eight because he is younger. Our clock is very important. Without it, our family life is not easy!
