A DAY IN THE LIFE

Three college students from around the world tell us about their daily routine

AVA AUSTRALlA

I’m from a small town in Queensland. Most people in Australia live near the coast, but we live on a cattle farm in the centre of the country. I get up at around 7am and have breakfast. My mum teaches at my college, so I usually go with her in the car instead of taking the bus. College starts at 8:30am and finishes at 4pm. When I get home, I help my dad on the farm for a few hours. In the evenings, I try to watch TV but I’m usually too tired. I go to bed at about 10:00pm.

NINA NORWAY

I live in a village on Norway's Atlantic coast. I get up at 7:30am and walk to college. Classes begin at 8:30am and finish at 3pm. After that, I go to one of the college clubs. These are not very expensive and there are lots to choose from. I do athletics and football but you can also do things like folk dancing and cross-country skiing. When my parents come home from work, my dad makes dinner and we all eat together. After that, my mum takes me out for a driving lesson. I’ve got my test soon and I need to practise!

MICHAEL BRAZIL

I live in Rio de Janeiro. I get up at 6am and catch a bus to college at 6:30am. Lessons start at 7:20am. We have a break at 9:50am and then study until 12:30pm. I get home at about l:40pm. After that, I often go to the beach with my friends to swim in the ocean or play beach volleyball, but l sometimes also just stay at home to sleep or study. In the evenings, I cook dinner for my family, then we watch TV or listen to the radio before bed. I switch off my light at about lOpm.
