Families around the world
My name is Riko and I'm from Japan. I live with my parents.
my two brothers and our grandparents. We all get up early every
morning. After breakfast, my brothers feed our chickens and collect
the eggs. Dad and Grandpa pick rice and vegetables in the garden
and I help Mum and Grandma to water the flowers and plants. My
brothers and I walk to school. We have lessons in the morning and
then it's time for lunch. After lunch, we brush our teeth and then we
go back to class. In the evening, my family cooks dinner together.
All our food comes from our garden. We play games or watch TV after
dinner. At bedtime, Mum helps us to get our mattresses out. We keep them
in a cupboard during the day so that we have space to play in our rooms.
I'm Ivan and I'm from Russia. I live with my mum, my dad, my
grandma and my sister. Our house is in a small village. Mum and
Dad go to work every day, so Grandma looks after the house.
Grandma makes my breakfast every morning. I usually have bread
and tea with honey. Then I walk to school with my friend. We have
lessons all morning, but when we need a break we stop working
and do some exercises. Lessons finish at lunchtime, and I go
home. I take my shoes off before I go into the house. We always
wear slippers indoors. After lunch, I ride my bike and then I do my
homework. When Dad comes home, he works in the garden. I usually help
him. We grow vegetables and fruit. Dad makes bowls, boxes and furniture
with wood. He's very clever. In the evenings, I read or watch TV. I go to
bed at nine o'clock. I'm always very tired after my busy day.
