JASON’S TYPICAL DAY

I WAKE UP AT TWENTY PAST EIGHT. I HAVE BREAKFAST IN THE DINING ROOM WITH MY GRANDMOTHER, AND THEN I GO TO SCHOOL.

AT SCHOOL I TALK TO MY FRIENDS SUSIE AND JOHN, AND I STUDY. I LIKE SPANISH BUT I DON’T LIKE HISTORY.

AFTER SCHOOL, I GO HOME. I DO MY HOMEWORK. THEN I SOMETIMES GO FISHING AND I OFTEN PLAY CHESS WITH MY FRIEND DANNY. I GO TO BED AT NINE O’CLOCK AND I USUALLY READ A BOOK.
