You are going to read an article about the daily life of three teenagers from different countries.

Skim the text once quickly. Underline the activities that you do in your daily routine.

I'm from a small town in Queensland. Most people in

Australia live near the coast, but we live on a cattle

farm in the centre of the country. I get up at around

7am and have breakfast. My mum teaches at my

college, so I usually go with her in the car instead of

taking the bus. College starts at 8:30am and finishe

at 4Qm. When I get home, I help my clad on the farm

for a few hours. In the evenings, I try to watch TV but

I'm usually too tired. I go to bed at about 10:00pm.

MICHAEL

BRAZIL

NINA NORWAY

I live in a village on Norway's Atlantic coast. I get up at

7:30am and walk

to college. Classes begin at 8:30am

and inish at 3 m. After that, I go to one of the college

clubs. These are not very expensive and there are lots to

choose from. I do athletics and football but you can also

do things like folk dancing and cross-country skiing.

When my r2arents come home from worR, my dad

makes dinner and we all eat together. After that, my

mum takes me out for a driving lesson. I've got my test

soon and I need to practise!

I live in Rio de Janeiro. I get up at 6am and catch a

bus to college at 6:30am. Lessons start at 7:20am.

We have a break at 9:SOam and then stu Y. unti

12:30Qm.

I get home at about l:40pm. After that,

I often go to the beach with my friends to swim in

the ocean or play beach volleyball, but l sometimes

also just stay at home to sleep or study. In the

evenings, I cooR dinner for my family, then we

watch TV or listen to the radio before bed. I switch

off my light at about lOpm.

I often help a lot around the house and I usually help my mum do the laundry. My

brother is lazy and he never washes his clothes. He always leaves them in a pile on his

bedroom floor. In the evening after school, I always tidy up my room. I put things away

and get my schoolbag ready for the next day. My dad sometimes washes up after dinner.

We don't have a dishwasher at the moment because our old one broke down, so he has

to clean the dishes by himself. My sister likes cooking, so she often helps mum make

lunch and dinner. She prepared a delicious meal of roast chicken at the weekend.

Sometimes my brother puts the rubbish out, but he usually just leaves it by the back

door instead of taking it out to the bins. We all usually try and help and do the cleaning.

When the housework is done, we always relax and watch TV.
