My name is Annie, and this is what I normally do. I love walking in the mountains. During the week, I wake up early and go for a short walk on the mountain. I usually go with my father or my brother. We like to get some fresh air before starting our day.
We live in the countryside, far away from the city. We think our country life is wonderful because we are away from the noise and pollution of urban life. We often walk for about half an hour and then return home. After our walk, I take the bus at around 8:30 a.m. and arrive at school by 9:00 a.m. My father drives his car into town to work. He works at a veterinary clinic. He is a vet and loves helping animals. We have three dogs and two cats.
On the weekend, we wake up early and go for a hike in the mountains. It’s so nice to breathe the fresh air and see wild animals. We usually stay there for about three hours and bring our lunch with us. As you can see, my family loves nature.
