~ What do you think about Ted? ~

             Hi, my name is Ted. I usually get up at seven o'clock in the morning. It's early, but it is OK. First, I often wash my hands and face, and then I always play video games on my smartphone until 7:30. Next, I have a big breakfast: three glasses of milk, two eggs and some toast and butter. After that, I get dressed, pack my school things and leave for school at about 7:45. I always go there on foot because it is not far. After I come back home, I eat a sandwich for lunch and go out. I never go to school in the afternoon because it is boring. I usually go to the stadium to play football with my friends. In the evening, before I have dinner, I often watch TV for an hour. Later, I chat with my friends on the internet. Finally, I usually go to bed at about midnight. I am happy with life like this.
