get up at 7 o’clock every morning because they have to get to work at 8 o’clock and I have to get to school at

makes a lot of money every day because he’s an Architect and my mother is an Interpreter. We usually go to
the park and play soccer but my mom always prefers playing rugby, but my father says that it’s a very rude
sport for a kid, then my mom tells him that he’s a coward man. My father gets home at 11 o’clock almost every
day and has another family and another wife, but I don’t know why, but well, this is my family.
