Task 1 Read the blog and answer the questions.
Gary’s Blog
A Typical School Day
I'm Gary, I am 14 years old and I live in London. Every day, I get up at 7 o'clock. I have
a shower and eat breakfast. School starts at 9 o'clock, but I am usually there at 8:45
am. When the bell rings, we all go to our classrooms and our form teachers mark the
registers and record any absences. Then, we go to our lessons for the rest of the
morning with a ten-minute break at 11 o’clock.
Lunchtime is from 1 to 2 pm, and we all go to the dining hall. The younger students go
at 1 o’clock and the older students go at 1:30 pm. There is a choice of hot food or
salads and the prices are cheap.
In the afternoon, lessons continue until 4:30 pm. After that, many people do extra
activities at school. I go to judo on Tuesdays, and on Fridays I go swimming.
I know that some people don’t like school, but I feel lucky that I go to a school where I
enjoy myself most of the time.
