What does an average day in your life look like? 

Follow these steps:

Work with your neighbour.

• Describe what an average weekday looks like for you from the moment you get up until the moment you go to bed.
  
• Try to listen to your neighbour carefully and remember what he/she says. Take notes.
• The teacher will ask you a few questions about your neighbour's day afterwards, so be prepared to answer!
