Sport, work and leisure activities
There are some activities that are common in our daily routines. However, not all
of them are done by everybody. For example, in the morning, your mom usually
prepares breakfast and your dad goes to work. In the afternoon, you play football,
go to work or do homework. At night, you
maybe
read a book. So, everybody in the
family has different activities: at work, for recreation and sports.
