📖 Reading

Meet Lena! She is twelve years old and she lives in a small town near the sea. Every day, she gets up at seven o'clock and eats a big breakfast with her family. Lena goes to school from Monday to Friday. She likes math and art, but she doesn't like science very much. After school, she does her homework and then she plays with her dog, Max. On Saturdays, Lena doesn't go to school. She and her friends go to the beach. They swim in the sea and play volleyball. Lena's mother makes sandwiches for everyone, and they eat lunch together on the sand. In the evening, Lena helps her mother in the kitchen. She doesn't cook, but she washes the vegetables and sets the table. Her little brother, Tom, sets the plates too. The family eats dinner at eight o'clock and talks about their day. On Sundays, the family visits Lena's grandmother. She has got a nice garden with many flowers. Lena and Tom help her water the plants. Grandma always makes cookies, and the children love them!
