Question

Dmitri is a 12-year-old student in Russia. We asked him about the things he does in a typical day. What time do you usually get up?

I usually get up at 7:30 a.m. for school. In winter, it's still dark and cold. You can see the vapour from your own breath! I am reluctant （勉强的） to get out of bed.

My family lives in a small flat. Every morning, I fold up the bedclothes and mattress （床垫） and store them in the cupboard.

What do you have for breakfast?

We have substantial breakfast in the school canteen. I like hot milk, bread with jam, or cheese and biscuits to keep me from being cold. And I felt quite satisfied after I have the breakfast.

How do you get to school?

My brother and I go to the same school. We either go by bicycle or we walk. Why do you walk if you have bicycles?

We go by bicycle when there -is no snow. When the weather is very bad, it is safer to walk. Where is your school?

We go to Secondary School 27 in Izhevsk. It is about 30 minutes' walk from home, or 10minutes by bike. And cycling is the quickest way to go to school. What time do classes begin?

Classes start at 9 a.m. and finish at 2:30 p.m. We have a break at 11:15 a.m. and lunch break at12:30 a.m.

What subjects do you study?

We study Russian language and history. And we study English, Maths and Geography. Boys have Manual Work classes while girls have Arts' and Crafts. Are you taking part in any after-class activities?

I have football practice on Tuesdays after school. The other days, I stay with my classmates and do homework for two hours because my home is in a very small space.
