Hi there, I'm Natasha, and I'm in high school.

Let me tell you about my day from the moment I wake up until I go back to bed.

When I open my eyes in the morning, the first thing I do is stretch in my comfy bed.

Then I grab my phone to turn off the alarm.

I quickly wash my face and brush my teeth.

Downstairs in the kitchen, I join my family for breakfast.

We talk about our plans for the day while munching on cereal and toast.

After that, I grab my backpack, making sure I have all my books and homework, and head out to catch the school bus.

School is always bustling with students chatting and teachers greeting us.

I attend different classes like math, science, history, and English.

During breaks, I hang out with my friends.

We share stories and sometimes help each other with schoolwork.

I sit with my friends in the cafeteria, eating and laughing together.

Afternoon classes pass by, and when the final bell rings, it's time to head home.

Back home, I relax for a bit, maybe watch some TV or listen to music.

I tackle assignments and study for tests, sometimes asking my parents for help if I get stuck.

I love drawing and playing the guitar, so I spend some time doing that.

Dinner with my family is always enjoyable.

As the day winds down, I take a relaxing shower.

Then, I snuggle up in bed with a book or my phone.

I chat with friends, read stories, or watch funny videos until I start feeling sleepy.

Finally, I turn off the lights, close my eyes, and drift off to sleep, excited about the adventures and learning that tomorrow will bring.

Before we begin our speaking practice, let's learn some new words and expressions from our story.
