Reading: My Busy but Healthy Life

Hi! My name is Emma, and I'm thirteen years old. I live in Bristol with my parents and my younger brother, Tom.

On school days, I usually get up at seven o'clock. I have breakfast at half past seven. I often eat porridge and a banana because I want to stay healthy. I ride my bike to school. My lessons start at half past eight and finish at three o'clock.

After school, I have different activities. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I play basketball with my friends. I really enjoy team sports because they are fun and exciting. On Wednesdays, I help my mum prepare dinner. We usually cook rice, chicken and vegetables.

I always do my homework in the evening. Sometimes I feel stressed because I have a lot of schoolwork. To manage my time, I make a list of things to do and take short breaks. When I finish my homework, I listen to music or read a book.

At weekends, I spend more time outdoors. On Saturdays, I often go cycling with my cousin. On Sundays, I relax and prepare for the next school week.

I think healthy food, exercise and enough sleep are very important for teenagers.
