Read twice at a natural, clear pace. Allow a short pause between readings.

My name is Leo. On school days, I get up at half past six. I have breakfast with my family. I go to school by bus. After school, I play football with my friends. In the evening, I do my homework. I don’t watch TV. I go to bed at half past nine.

Answers: 1. Half past six / 6.30 am. 2. Bus. 3. Football. 4. Watch TV. 5. Half past nine / 9.30 pm.

8. Speaking

Answers vary. Monitor question formation and third-person endings when learners report their partner’s answers. Offer What time do you…? and My partner… as support.

9. Grammar detective

1. She walks to school. 2. He doesn’t eat breakfast. 3. Does Mia read at night? 4. I get up at seven.

10. Writing and reflection

Check for six relevant sentences, correct I/he/she verb forms and at least one negative. Exit check: goes; walk. Accept personal routines without expecting them to match Mia’s.
