Hello! My name is Malikova Farida. I live in Pavlodar in Kazakhstan. I go to Zhas daryn school in 7 class. I am 12.

During the week, the day starts at about 6.30.

We have our breakfast in the kitchen.

My mother and my father always have tea and biscuits, but a lot of people prefer coffee.

My brother Mansur has tea and jam and Runar eats yoghurt

If everyone is in a hurry , I don’t have time to sit down.

I don’t often eat in the morning.

My mother and my father leave the flat at about 8 o’clock.

They get the bus to work. I get the bus to school too.

I usually walk to the bus stop with Mansur.

A lot of people travel to work or school by car.

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.

We usually have our dinner together, but sometimes my father works in the evening

and sometimes my mother goes to the supermarket after work.

We eat at about 7.30pm.

After me wash the dishes. Then I sit in the Internet. Mansur plays on the “PSP”. Runar sleeps. My mother and father watch TV.

We go to bed at about 11 o’clock.

At the weekend, my brother and my father go to the gym, and my mother goes shopping with me.

My father sometimes goes to work

My mother watches TV or plays with Runar at the weekend.

My brother walks with his friends and I spend time with my friends. We go to the skating rink, have picnics or go to parties.
