Dear Martha,

I'm going to tell you about a normal day in my life.

I always wake up early. Then, I get dressed. I usually cycle to school even though I live nearby. I don't often walk because it rains a lot. I never ride the bus. Sometimes, I don't like to go to school, but what can I do about it? I don't normally buy lunch at Albert Heijn because I'd rather save my pocket money. I hardly ever eat sandwiches, I generally just eat an apple and a packet of crisps. What do you normally eat for lunch? Do you sometimes spend your money on food? 

Write me back soon. 

Your friend,

James
