María va caminando a la escuela. Lleva su mochila. En su mochila tiene 2 libros, su estuche

con lápices, bolígrafos y gomas de borrar y un cuaderno. Hoy María tiene un examen en la
clase de matemáticas. Está un poco nerviosa. Cuando llega al colegio, mete la mochila en su
taquilla y va a su primera clase, la de inglés. El profesor enseña a los alumnos vocabulario
sobre el tiempo. Después de inglés, Mary va a la clase de matemáticas. Piensa que el examen
es bastante fácil y está muy contenta. Después de matemáticas, Mary sale al patio y habla con
sus amigos. Su tercera asignatura es Historia. Normalmente no le gusta la Historia, pero este
año tiene un gran profesor. Dice que le explica las cosas de una manera que ella entiende.
Después de Historia, Mary almuerza. Se sienta con otros cuatro niños de su clase. Come una
hamburguesa y una ensalada. De postre come helado de chocolate. Las dos siguientes clases
son Arte y Educación Física. Le gusta mucho la Educación Física porque practican todo tipo de
deportes como el baloncesto, el voleibol y el bádminton. Después de la escuela, Mary vuelve a
casa caminando. Cuando llega, su perro Buster la está esperando en la puerta.
