School starts at 8.00, I leave home at about 4.00pm. Everyday I have 6 or 7 lessons. At 11.35am I have lunch. After school I do my homework. Then I play with my little brother Runar. Then my mother or father arrive. My brother Mansur arrives home earlier than me. While my mother cooks meals, I and Mansur play with our little brother Runar. When mother finishes cooking, she helps Mansur with his homework.
