Hello! I’m Emma. I live in Tokyo, in Japan. I get up at 7 o’clock. I have breakfast. I bike
to school. It takes a quarter of an hour. School in Japan usually starts at 8:30. We have
four classes before lunch and two after lunch. There’s a 15-minute break between the
third and fourth classes. We have 40 minutes for lunch. I always take a packed lunch.
School finishes at 3 o’clock. Then we have tutor group time, when our teacher talks to
us for 10 to 15 minutes. After that, we clean the classrooms and the hallways. At 4
o’clock, there are after-school activities. I sometimes play volleyball or basketball, and I
always go to orchestra practice on Wednesday.
