A - Ana is reading a letter from her friend Marta. Read the text.

London, 21st November 2010Dear Ana:

How are you?

Life here in London is very different from life in Lisbon. I always get up at 7:00 a.m. Then I brush my teeth and have a shower. I have breakfast in the kitchen with my parents and my brother, Michael, and then I go to school by bus.

I have classes from 8:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I always have lunch in the canteen at 12:30 p.m. After classes I go home, I usually do my homework before dinner, but sometimes I take my dog, Speedy, for a walk. I do that twice a week and my brother does it three times a week.

At 8:00 p.m. I have dinner with my parents and at 10:00 p.m. I go to bed. On Fridays and Saturdays I can go to bed at 10:30 p.m.

Now I must finish my letter. I miss you all and my lovely Funchal.

Kisses, Marta
