On a normal school day, I usually wake up at 7:00. I eat breakfast, put on my uniform, and walk to school. We have lessons in the morning, and at 11:00 we always have a short break. After lunch, I often do homework and play football with friends.
But today is special. We are going on a school excursion to the science museum. Right now, my classmates are getting on the bus. Our teacher is checking the tickets, and some students are taking photos. I am sitting next to my best friend, and we are talking about the planetarium show. We usually study in the classroom, but today we are learning outside.
