On week days I usually get up nearly six o'clock. I do not like to get up early, but I have to, because I have a lot of work to do during the day.
I make my bed, wash my face, put my clothes on and go to the kitchen to have breakfast. My mother usually prepares, breakfast for me, but sometimes I do it myself. If I prepare my breakfast for my own, I should have to get up earlier. I do not like big breakfasts; I prefer a cup of coffee and a sandwich.
Then I go to school. It is rather far from my house and I go there by bus. I have classes till two or three o'clock, it depends on a week day. Then I come home and have dinner. I like a big dinner, because when I come home from school I am hungry.

Hi Paula!
Greetings from London! I am here with my parents and am having a whale of a time. We have been here since Thursday and have already seen and done so much.
On Friday, we went to see The Moscow State Circus. I was so excited as I had never been to the circus before. It was a perfect evening full of amazing tricks. Most of all, I enjoyed watching the trapeze artists flying high up in the air. I have never seen anything like it! It was a hair-raising experience! Luckily, no one fell down! Of course, there were also clowns dressed in funny costumes too, as well as other artists. If you ever get the chance to see this famous circus, you should go – it is an unforgettable experience. And, don’t forget to try the toffee apples – they are the best!
Hope you are having a funny time too. Will tell you more about it when I see you.
Love,
Diane
