Sofía's Day · part 1

Hi! My name is Sofía and I'm twelve years old. I live in Cali with my mum, my dad and my little brother. Every day, I wake up at six o'clock. First, I take a shower and I get dressed. Then I brush my teeth. At half past six, we have breakfast together: eggs, bread and hot chocolate.

Sofía's Day · part 2

At seven o'clock, I go to school by bus. I study English, maths and science. I always have lunch at school with my friends. In the afternoon, I do my homework and I sometimes play video games. We have dinner at seven. Finally, I read a book and I go to bed at nine. I never go to bed late!

Read the question first

In every reading test, read the question before the text. Underline the key word, then scan the text for it or for a synonym. You are hunting for an answer, not reading a novel.
Level up · reading · Sofía's Saturday

Sofía's Saturdays are nothing like her school days. She does not wake up at six; she sleeps until nine and has a late breakfast with pancakes. In the morning, she helps her mum at the market and carries the heavy bags. After lunch, she and her brother visit their grandmother, who lives ten minutes away, and they play cards with her. In the evening, Sofía watches films with her dad. They never watch horror films because her brother is scared of them. On Saturdays she goes to bed late, at eleven, and nobody complains.
