PRESENT SIMPLE

Hi! My name’s Tom. I’m thirteen years old. I’m from Manchester, in England. I study 2nd year of secondary school. I don’t like school very much. I do my homework every day and I work hard, but I don’t usually pass my exams. My teachers often give me bad marks.

During the week, I usually get up at 7.00 a.m. I don’t walk to school because it’s quite far from my home. I always take the bus. My best friends at school are Susan and Mark. They get good marks because they study really hard and they don’t go out much during the week.

In the evenings, I usually play football and surf the internet. I don’t always study at weekends. I usually go out with my friends.

What do you do at school? Do you like your classes and teachers? Where do you go at weekends? Do you do any sport?
