Lời giải chi tiết:

Omar: So, Mia, what time do you start work?

Mia: I start work at nine o’clock.

Omar: Do you finish work at five, then?

Mia: No, I don’t. I finish at six.

Omar: That’s a long day! What time do you eat dinner?

Mia: My family has dinner at eight. Then we go to bed at ten.

Every morning I get up at six. The first thing I do is to wash the dishes my family dirtier the day before. Then I cook breakfast. We eat at about seven fifteen. Usually we have bread with butter, sometimes we have rice, or boiled sweet potatoes.
It takes me about ten minutes to walk to school, and school begins with an assembly period at seven forty-five. There are fifteen hundred children in our school and so we meet in three separate assemblies: the infant department, the middle department, and the senior department. We always listen attentively to the head mistress then different classes call the roll for the attendance.
We have seven periods from eight to one. We study Mathematics, (Geography, History, Music, Art- and Crafts, and English. I like English best and next to that, Mathematics, At ten we have a chance to eat an orange and some peanuts. At noon, we do not rest. At one we clean up our classroom and close the school.
I go home for lunch, but this time, my sister Patricia gets the meal. We often eat yams with soup and some other dishes. After lunch, I usually sleep for half an hour. In the afternoon, I often play netball. I sometimes skip, run, and Jump with the other girls.
At about six or six thirty we have dinner. Either my sister or I cook it. The meal is simpler than the mid-day meal. We eat fruit or rice, and sometimes we have bread and tea. Then in the evening, I do my homework and go to bed at about ten.
