1. I get up at 7.30 and get dressed for school. I don't live far from school, so I walk there with my friends, Brian and Gemma. On Mondays we all start the day with Assembly in the school hall at 8.50. The headteacher talks to us and gives us information about school events.

2. This year I've got nine subjects. We all study English, Maths and Science, and then we choose other subjects. My favourites are IT and Art&Design. Brian likes Spanish and Japanese. Gemma is brilliant at Maths, so she goes to an Advanced Maths class.

3. We have 20 minutes for break in the morning and an hour for lunch. Some students bring sandwiches to school for lunch, but my friends and I always eat in the dining room where you can get a hot meal every day.

4. Lessons end at 4 o'clock, but on Mondays and Wednesdays I stay at school until 5 o'clock. I go to the Photography Club and the Athletics Club. There are lots of clubs and activities at our school. Brian belongs to the Film Society and Gemma plays in the school orchestra.

5. At the end of the day I always spend two hours on homework — sometimes three hours. We get lots of homework now. We've got our exams in June, so there's always lots of work to do.

Yesterday was a normal school day for Yumiko, a fourteen-year-old student at Higashi High School in Tokyo, Japan. At 6.15 am, while you were probably still asleep, Yumiko was getting ready for school. At 7.30 she left home and travelled for an hour by train to get to school.

Her first class started at 8.40. She had four lessons in the morning. There isn't a cafeteria or a canteen at Yumiko's school so, at 12.30, she stayed in her classroom with her classmates and ate her packed lunch. She had 50 minutes for lunch and then had two more classes. At 3 pm classes finished. Yumiko helped to tidy the classroom and after that she went to baseball club and practised for two hours. Every student in Japan goes to a sports club after school.

After baseball, Yumiko had a burger and then took a 30-minute train journey to a special school called a 'juku'. She stayed there for three hours, studying for her exams. Yumiko likes going to 'juku' because she says it's more fun than normal school, and more interesting. Her parents don't mind paying because they hope it will help her to get into a good university. Finally, Yumiko went home and did homework before she went to bed — at midnight. And you thought you had a hard life!

1. It takes Yumiko much time to get to school.

l) True 2) False 3) Not stated

2. She usually has lunch at a school canteen.

l) True 2) False 3) Not stated

3. All students in Japan go in for sport after school.

4. Yumiko's parents have to pay a lot of money for extra classes.

l) True 2) False 3) Not stated
