Сегодня я встала без пяти пять. У меня был урок с ученицей. Потом я немного подремала и проснулась в семь утра. Сейчас у нас идёт дождик, и на улице очень свежо. Я люблю жить в Кито, потому что здесь всегда прохладно и никогда не бывает жарко.

А какая погода у вас сегодня? Напишите мне на русском. Мне будет очень приятно почитать.
