A Typical Day

This is how my friend spends his day:

  • He wakes up early in the morning, gets dressed, and has breakfast
  • then he goes to school
  • in the middle of the day he has lunch
  • in the afternoon he comes home from school
  • then he does homework and has some time to play
  • then just as the sun goes down he has his evening meal
  • then he might watch TV or play on the computer
  • and then he goes to sleep
