ENGLISH JOINS US!: 7.- Unit 2

From Monday to Friday every morning I get up at six o'clock. I have a shower and get dressed. I have breakfast: a coffee with milk and cookies. After I brush my teeth, put on my make-up and comb my hair. Then I drive my car towards my work and park it. I drink another coffee and then I start working.

I work in a factory in Malpica from 7 in the morning to 7 o'clock in the evening. I have lunch at quarter past three and keep on working.

I usually go back home at half past seven and then my husband and I go for a walk with our dog. We have dinner at eight o'clock because my husband goes to work at night.

I speak with my children and study with them. Afterwards I cook next day lunch and clean my kitchen. I always brush my teeth after dinner. I go to bed at eleven o'clock, read a book and I sleep at half past eleven.

Twice a week I go to English class. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I stop working at three o'clock.

At weekend I don't work . I get up at nine o'clock and have a special breakfast. My family and I have lunch at restaurant and we go to the cinema.

See you in class. Goodbye!
