On fine days the sun shines. It rises in the morning and sets in the evening.

Every day has twenty-four hours.
The first hour of the day is in the middle of the night. The sun does not shine then，but the moon sometimes gives light. At that hour we are sleeping in bed. We wake up in the morning at about seven o'clock. The clock tells us the time. We have breakfast at eight，and we sit at table for half an hour，from eight till half past eight. At a quarter to nine we go to school. At nine o'clock we are there，and then we work for three hours till noon. After school we go home and eat our lunch at half past twelve.
In the afternoon we play in the garden，if we have nothing to do and if the sun is shining. If we have work to do，we do that first. At five o'clock we drink a cup of tea and eat something. At seven，in the evening，we have our supper，and，not long after that，we go to bed. By half past nine or ten o'clock at night，we are all asleep.
Some of our bedroom windows are open at night. We open the windows because we want the air to come in. Air comes in through the open windows.
