Μy day!

Hi there!
I'm Jean Paul. I'm 12 and I live in
Tours, in France. My city is about
250km from the capital, Paris. I live
with my mum, my stepdad and my
stepbrother, Thierry.

My day is very busy. I get up
at 7 o'clock, have breakfast and
leave for school. It's only
10 minutes on foot so I don't
get the bus. I usually ride my
bike to school. I'm never late.

Lessons start at 8. I'm in
Year 5 and my favourite
subject is Social Studies.
We learn about our city
and our rights. I also
study ancient Greek! The
Greek alphabet is so
weird!

We have a lunch break from 12 to 2 o'clock.
I don't eat at the school canteen. I go back
home. Then, we have lessons again until half
past four (boring!).

In the evening, after dinner, my parents watch TV.
I prefer listening to my CDs and reading my comics.
I also tidy my room a bit because my mum goes
crazy if I don’t. But I hate it of course.
I go to bed at around 11 o’clock.

After school, I always play the guitar for half an hour. I relax this
way. Then, I do my homework. On Wednesdays, I play tennis at
the tennis club. In France, we love playing tennis and cycling.
Do you know anything about the Tour de France?

based on an authentic interview with Jean Paul, a 12-year-old boy from France
