We think our life in the countryside is wonderful because we are away from the noise and pollution of the city. we walk for an hour and a half out of ten and then go back to our house.
I always take the bus after our walk and at about 8:30 and get to school at 9:00. My dad takes his car and goes into town to work. He works at a veterinary clinic. He is a veterinarian and loves helping animals. We have 3 dogs and two cats.

Exchange personal information about daily activities
What is an adverb of frequency and examples?
An adverb of frequency describes how often an action occurs. There are six main adverbs of frequency that we use in English:
Always (siempre),
usually (normalmente),
often (a menudo),
sometimes (a veces),
rarely (raramente)
never (nunca).
Activity_3
Read the following text and explain what you have understood about the daily activities of these people:
Living on a submarine is uncomfortable. The environment is hostile, and its crew members must adapt to living in minimal spaces, to the lack of light, to the bumps, to the little physical exercise and to a special diet. This is the daily life on the 'Tramontana', one of the three submersibles of the Spanish Navy.
It is easy to understand, therefore, that the movements inside the submarine are uncomfortable and that they end up being limited for reasons of order and the needs of the service.
In addition to the shortage of space, the lack of light is another vital conditioning factor on a submarine. The crew members of a vessel like the Tramontana spend between 120 and 130 days a year at sea.
The food is strict and lousy in the last days on the submarine since most of it is preserved food and when eating several days in a row it becomes a tiring diet and most of us tend to gain weight.

But what can we do here can give you an idea, Sweden: from waste to energy. The Scandinavian country is one of the European territories with the strongest environmental protection culture and therefore one of the most successful recycling rates.
