This week is really exciting! We're talking about the lives of kids in England. I got to meet a local 8-year-old boy in Year 4, which is the same as second grade in the United States. These are the answers he gave me to some of the questions I asked.
"My favorite breakfast is toast with strawberry jam or toast with eggs on it."
"I have three siblings and there are four bedrooms in my house. My siblings are 14, 16 and 18. I really like being the youngest!"
"I have to empty the dishwasher and take out the recycling."
When I asked him if he liked his chores, he said "Sorta."
"My mum is an occupational therapist and my dad is a video producer."
"It starts at quarter to nine (8:45 a.m.) and ends at quarter past 3 (3:15 p.m.)"
"We normally take the car. In the summer months, we sometimes cycle and walk."
