Daily routines
Read about the twins’ routine and identify the actions.

My name is Agatha Miller. I am eleven years old, and I have a

twin brother, William. We live in Alice Springs, in Australia
and we go to South West School. We are in the 6th grade.
We have classes every day at 8.10. We usually get up at 7.15,
we have a shower, get dressed and have breakfast. I often
eat bread and cheese and I drink milk. William doesn’t like
milk, so he eats a yoghurt and cornflakes.
After breakfast we always go to school by bus. We often
have lunch in the school canteen and in the afternoon, I
sometimes play volleyball after school. My brother plays
basketball on Mondays and Thursday.
Today is Wednesday and we have English, Maths,
Geography, Physical Education and Art. My favorite subject
is Maths, because I think it’s easy and fun. My brother
prefers Geography. He says it’s interesting and useful.
We like our school very much; we always wear a blue and
grey uniform, and we have lots of friends there.
