The next lesson is Geography and then we have a break. The break lasts from twenty to elevan until five to elevan. The two lessons after the break are japanese and maths.

Tomorrow we have Physics until the break and the history and English. On Thursday we have my favourite subjects at ten fifty – five and twelve thirty – five. There are twenty lessons each week but they all take place in the morning. We are all very tired by lunchtime!
