Tell us about your day…

Three young people from around the world describe a typical school day

 A Onni – Finland
I get up at 8.00 a.m.. For breakfast I have cereal and milk, with orange juice. After breakfast, I meet my friend, and we go to school together on the metro. Some days school starts at 9.00 but on other days at 10.00. We don’t wear a uniform, and we call our teachers by their first name. We all get a free lunch at school – meat or fish with vegetables for the main course and fruit for dessert. School usually finishes at 2.45, and after that I go to music lessons or drama club. I have a snack in the evening before bed.
 

B Diego – Mexico
I wake up at 6.00 a.m., have a shower and put on my uniform. My breakfast is coffee, with bread and cheese or avocado. At 7.00 a.m., it’s time to go to school. Sometimes I walk, but often my mum drives me. Classes begin at 8.00 and finish at 2.30. After that, I have my art class. I have lunch at about 3.00, and then I do my homework. I do it till 6.00 or 7.00. After that, I go on the internet, or watch TV with my family. I have dinner at about 8.00.
 

C Aban – Ghana
My mother wakes me and my sister up at 5.00 a.m.. I water the plants in the garden, and my sister prepares the food for the evening meal. Then we put on our school uniforms and brush our teeth. We leave the house at 6.30 and buy breakfast on our way to school. Lessons are from 7.30 to 2.30 p.m.. Lunch is at school – today, it’s rice and tomatoes. I like it, but my sister doesn’t! After school I have my football class, and in the evening I watch TV before bed.

Aban starts school the earliest.
