A Day in the Life of an Italian Kid

Introduction:

After interviewing two 11-year-olds, I received some interesting answers about their lifestyles. Kids around the world may grow up very similarly to or differently from you. While you may ride a yellow school bus to school, eat corn dogs for lunch and complete a page or two of homework after school, an Italian student your age may be doing just that (or something completely different) halfway across the world. Check out what Teddy and Bernardo shared. Let's step into their shoes all the way in Rome, Italy!

What do you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?:

Bernardo: Breakfast: I don’t eat that much, but usually it’s toast, cookies and cakes. Lunch: Normally pasta, bread and other similar things. Supper: I eat lots of food! Like triple the amount! Pizza, vegetables and salad. For dessert, I have carrot cake or peanut butter. 

What is your house like?:

Bernardo: My house, for me, is big, but for Americans it is small. We have 3-4 bedrooms, one kitchen and a living room, one hallway and 2 bathrooms. That’s it. We also have a few terraces. 

What chores do you have at home?:

Bernardo: It depends. My parents never give me chores except sometimes to clean my pets and occasionally to clean the house or my room. For school, the homework is terrible. They give me so much grammar and geography.
