About My Dad

My dad wakes up early every day. He drinks coffee, and he eats a huge breakfast. He usually has toast, yogurt, fruit, some kind of meat and sometimes potatoes. My dad has a farm, and he works all day doing different things. He takes care of chickens and sheep. He always has many projects, recently he built a chicken house and fixed a bridge. He has many trees, plants and fields. He builds fences, repairs buildings, and uses tractors. He doesn’t exercise because he is always moving. At lunchtime he rests and sometimes takes a nap. In the evening, he enjoys watching TV. He and my mom have a lot of friends, and they usually meet friends at least twice a week. My dad doesn’t stay up late. He goes to bed at 10pm every night. He is 74 years old!
