Read the letter below and answer the questions that follow.

Dear Siva,
Thanks for your letter. It is wonderful to hear about your life in Malaysia.

Right now, it is the summer break in England and I have many activities planned
out.

Summer in England is quite hot. So, I spend most of the day indoors. I keep
myself busy by helping my parents around the house. My favourite activities
are cooking and baking with my mum. Last Saturday, we baked a strawberry
cheesecake and it tasted amazing!

My dad loves woodworking; so I give a hand now and then. Currently, he's
making a small cabinet. I’m going to help him paint it once it is done. We’re going
to put the cabinet in the study room because it is cluttered with books.

Most evenings, I do exercises outdoors. I might take a jog around my
neighbourhood or walk my dog at the park. I’m looking forward for next weekend
because we’re going to have a picnic with my grandparents when we visit them at
Dorset.

When do you normally have your school break? Write to me soon, I would
love to know.

Your friend,
Colin

for breakfast. After breakfast, my dad fetches me to school in his car.

sleep early and usually wake up at around fifteen minutes past six.
The school is near my house, so I often walk there. I seldom eat
breakfast at home and only have light snacks in the canteen during
recess.

My name is Joe and I work in a bank. My working time starts at
9:30 a.m., so I normally wake up at eight sharp. I always take the
