Hi. I want to tell you about the things that I do every day.  I usually wake up at 6 o'clock, brush my teeth, and take a shower.  I eat rice with beef, or sometimes I eat noodles and have some coca or chocolate frappe.  I go to school every day with my sister.  I usually go to school at 7 o'clock.  I have many friends at school.  There are many students at school.  I always play soccer at the break time.  And there are some teachers.  My school isn't modern.  It's a bit old.  But we can study.  The teacher teachers us Khmer language.  There are many subjects such as math, French, sports, chemistry, English and Khmer language.  My school has a large area for students to play or run with each other.  It has a big market.  They sell many things such as books, pens, pencils, rulers, correction pens, and more.  They also sell food and drinks.  There is a small restaurant in the market.  There are two big park places for motorcycles.  Sometimes we do homework together.  We usually play soccer, but sometimes we don't.  We play hide and seek.  Sometimes I have an argument with my friend but usually not.  My friend always throws ice at me when he has ice.  I play games with my friend.
In the evening, I ride my bike for 2 miles away from my house, play soccer with my brother, watch TV, play games, do some homework, and ride my skateboard.  I feed my pets, clean the house, clean the bathroom, wash my cloths, and hang out with my neighbor.  I usually have dinner but sometimes I don't.  At night I play Xbox with my brother.  I watch TV, listen to music, drink some milk.  I do my Khmer and English homework and write some lessons.  I play Minccraft online with my friend.  And I go to bed usually at 10 o'clock, but sometimes at 11 o'clock.
The-end!

Student 29

My everyday activities are just simple, like all the other students.  Every day from Monday to Friday I go to study Khmer, and some days we study four subjects in five hours.  My school starts at 7:30 and finishes at 11:00, including breakfast time.  When I finish school, I come home and have lunch with my family at 12:00.  After lunch, I get a rest for a half hour and then I go to study English at ACE school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  After I finish ACE class, I have to study computers and Khmer extra time from 8:00 to 9:00.  I have to do my homework until 9:30.  I take a shower and sleep.  I get up at 5:30 every morning except Saturday and Sunday, when I get up at 6:00 o'clock because it is my holiday.
I will write some of my activities for Monday to Friday now.  I would also like to write some of my freetime activities for Sunday and Saturday too.  On Saturday and Sunday is is my freedom day because my mom lets me do whatever I want and she lets me use the laptop and the Internet from 7:00 in the morning to 5:00 pm.  I can watch TV or music videos, or go to the supermarket with my dad or play games, but on Sunday mornings I must wash my clothes by myself because my mom and dad made a rule for our family that when my sister and brother turned 12 they must do everything by themselves.  So now I'm 12 years old so I must do it.  Once a week my mom comes to check my room.  If my room is messy, she will scold me.  So everyday I always clean my room.  When I have an exam from 8:00 to 10:00 I always review all my lessons or words that I have learnt.  In my Khmer school there are a lot of rules, especially during the exams.  One class has 2 teachers for most subjects.  The subject that I hate the most is Physics because I'm very poor in it.  Once a year, my school has a test for a study tour in Australia.  They choose 2 boys and girls who are good at English.  The contestants can compete from age 15 to 17 years old.

Student 28

Today I want to talk about my typical day.  It is Monday morning.  I get up at 4:00 o'clock. I have to do many exercises such as running, jogging, and dancing.  At 5:00 o'clock, I take a shower and clean my teeth.  My father tells me that teenagers have to clean their teeth three or for times in one day.  At 5:15 I put on my school suit--that means I have to wear a white shirt, black trousers, and black shoes too.  At 6:00 o'clock I have good food, such as fish, meat, bread, rice, and pasta.  I have a good drink such as two cups of water and a cup of milk.  At 6:30 I say goodbye to my mom and go to school.  I walk to school.  I study in grade 7.  My school has 100 teachers and 1,000 students.  In the afternoon I go back home to have lunch with my family.  At lunch time, we have meat and pasta.  And to drink we have 5 cups of water.  At 12:00 o'clock, I sleep in my room for 1 hour.  At 1:00 o'clock, I go to the English school named ACE school.  My school has a lot of students and teachers.  At school, I study at level YL 9, which means Young Learner 9.  In the evening I go back to my home and have a dinner.  My dinner is meat, rice, pasta.  At 6:00 o'clock in the evening, I watch TV with my brother in my room.  After watching TV, I have to do my homework.  I always go to sleep at 8:00 o'clock.  Before I go to sleep, I have to clean my teeth.
In the end, I think my life is easy because I have a good mother and father.

Student 27

My schools are SIS and ACE.  And I eat lunch at 11:30.  At school I study and do exams.  At 12:00, we go home and I talk to my friends about games, and in the evening my teacher comes to my house to teach me.  From 7:00 to 8:00, I do some chores around the house and then I take a shower and go to sleep.  Or I forget, and then I watch TV for one hour, and I fall asleep and forget to turn off the TV.  Every night my mother tells me not to watch so much TV at night.  I have to go to sleep at 8:00 o'clock.  I'm very tired.  I want to sleep for 10 hours.

I wake up at 5:30 am every morning from Monday to Saturday.  I usually eat noodles or nice for breakfast.  Every day I go to the park or the supermarket.  I go to Khmer school at 7:00 am in the morning, or 1 pm in the afternoon, and I go to English school at 9:40 am in the morning, or 4:00 pm in the afternoon.  At Khmer school during breakfast time I usually buy sometime to eat or have sometime to play football with my friends.  My English school is very clean and has very clean toilets.  Sometimes I play with my friends or talk with my friends.  In the evening, when I come back from school I eat my dinner.  When I finish dinner, I do my homework, then I go outside my house and play with my brothers or sisters or sometimes I just stay in my room and watch TV and play video games.  I hardly ever have chores to do around my house.

I am 15 years old.  I live in Cambodia.  Now let me start telling you about my daily life.  I usually wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning.  When I wake up, I take a shower and it takes me about 7 minutes or less.  Then I go downstairs with my school uniform on and my bag.  In the morning, my mom usually makes me breakfast.  She gives me a cup of milk, toast, and sometimes she cooks something more for me.  When I finish my breakfast, me and my dad drive to school.  It takes 10 minutes because my school is not far from my house, and I always go to school before 7:35.
I study from 7:10 am to 3:15 pm.  My school is a full-time school.  At 12:00 pm it is lunch time.  My mom brings me food and I eat it at the canteen with my friends.  When the bell rings we usually play football, because we are good at football.  After lunch we sometimes ply football, go to the library, or play table tennis. 
At 3:15 pm the school finishes and we always walk together to the front gate, because we have to wait for our parents to pick us up.  Some of my friends have their own transportation like cars, bikes, and motorcycles.  After school, when I arrive home, I usually play football, watch TV, and use social media like Facebook, Line, etc, to connect with my friends.  After I do that kind of stuff, I am ready to take a shower.  Then, my mom cooks dinner for us, and sometimes we eat outside.  When the dinner finishes, I always prepare my books for tomorrow or do my homework.  I do this for 40 minutes or 1 hour.  I usually go to bed sometime from around 9:30 to 11:00.  I think I should actually be getting more sleep, because young teenagers should sleep 8 hours or more.  But I sleep 7 hours.  However, that is my habit.  I can't change it.  Before sleeping, I drink a cup of milk and say goodnight to my parents, and goodnight to the world, and then I sleep.

Hi! I'm 14 years old.  I live in Phnom Penh and Phnom Penh is the capital city of Cambodia.  Now I want to tell all of you about what my life is like.
In the morning, I have to get up early because I have to go to study Cambodian language.  I get up at 6:00 in the morning and take a shower.  After I take a shower, I have to put on my school uniform and eat my breakfast.  Sometimes, I eat my breakfast at home and sometimes I eat my breakfast at school, because I sometimes run late for school.  I start my school at 7:00 and I finish it at 11:00.  The subject I study is Khmer school.  It is difficult for me, but I am never sad about it.  After we study for one hour, we have a break time to rest our brain.  At break time, I always play with my best friends.  They always make me happy when I'm with them.  After I finish my school, I go home with all my friends.  I always walk to school and walk home because the school is near my home.  I help my mother make lunch and we eat lunch together.
In the afternoon, one hour after lunch I have to take a shower again because I have to go to school again, and the weather is always hot.  In the afternoon I study English at ACE school.  I don't have to wear a school uniform there because I only study there for one hour and a half.  At my English school, there are two teachers who teach me.  One is a Khmer teacher and one is a foreign teacher.  On Monday and Wednesday I study with the foreign teacher, and on Friday I study with the KHmer teacher.  I listen to them, and answer whatever questions they ask me.
At night, I watch TV and relax.  As for dinner, my mother has already made it, so the only thing I have to do is eat.  When we have already eaten, I have some more time to relax, then I have to take a shower and go to study in my room.  When I finish my school work, I have to go to sleep because  I will get up early the next day.  I have to get up early for my Khmer school.  I am always happy because at my Khmer school I have my best friends that make me happy, and I am never sad.

Hello.  I'm a student at ACE.  I'm Cambodian.  Let me tell you about my life.  I'm 14 years old.  I"m a teenager.  I usually wake up at 5 o'clock every morning.  First I have to do exercise for maybe 1 hour everyday.  Then I go to have a shower.  After that, I have to review my lesson before school.  I study two languages: Khmer and English.  Then I enjoy my breakfast.  I always have rice with meet and salad, or sometimes if I'm late I just have a sandwich.  I have a flip-flop class between Khmer and English.  In my Khmer school, I love chemistry.  I don't have enough free time because I also have an extra class.  I'm always at school  from 7 am to 11 am every morning and in the afternoon I am  at school from 1pm to 5 pm.  At 6 pm I have just arrived home because of the traffic jam when the sun sets in the evening.  I have to help my mom to do the house chores like sweeping the floor, washing the dishes, washing clothes, etc.  I usually have dinner at 8:00 pm.  Then I do my lessons again for 1 hour or 2 hours.  I usually go to bed at 10:00, but sometimes I'm late for bed by 30 minutes or an hour because I stay up late texting my friends or watching TV.  I usually hang out with my friends on the weekend.  Sometimes we go to watch a movie, go swimming, go shopping, or do our studying together before the exam starts.  I also have exciting time with my family.  Sometimes we go to the beach, or visit our hometown, or visit Angkor Wat Temple to relax, but we go there once a month only.   This is my life every day, week, and month.
