A. Read the following text carefully.

Hi! My name is Craig. I am 10 years old. I am English and I live

 with my father, my mother and my sister in the south-east corner of the country.

     The day starts at about 7 o’clock, when dad and mum get up. We have breakfast at 8 o’clock. I like to eat cereal with milk, and jam on toast. My parents like to have a fried breakfast, consisting of baked beans, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, two eggs and a sausage.

     After breakfast, my sister and I put on our school uniform. We all leave the house by 8:30. Dad goes to work. He works with computers. Mum, my sister and I walk to school. My mum then catches the bus to her workplace. She works in a different school as a learning support assistant.

     I take a packed lunch to school, which contains things like sandwiches, fruit and a bag of crisps, because I don’t like school dinners.

     Mum picks me up from school at 3:15. Sometimes we go to the shops and, if we are really lucky, mum will buy us a McDonald’s Happy Meal. However, most days we go straight home and my sister and I usually do our homework.

      Dad usually gets home about 6 o’clock and we eat together at about 6:30. My favourite meal is fish fingers with peas and chips.

     In the evenings, I sometimes watch TV or play games on my computer.

     I go to Karate on Thursdays and my sister goes to ballet on Wednesdays.

     At weekends I play on my computer and do skateboarding.
