Text and translation

On Saturdays, Omar gets up at eight. He makes tea and opens the kitchen window. His sister lives in the same building. She comes for breakfast at nine. They eat bread, eggs and fruit. They talk about their plans for the day.

يستيقظ عمر في الثامنة أيام السبت. يعد الشاي ويفتح نافذة المطبخ. تسكن أخته في المبنى نفسه. تأتي لتناول الإفطار في التاسعة. يأكلان الخبز والبيض والفاكهة ويتحدثان عن خططهما لليوم.

After breakfast, Omar walks to the shop. He needs milk and rice. The shop is next to a small park. He buys his food and sits in the park for ten minutes. Then he goes home and reads a book.

بعد الإفطار يمشي عمر إلى المتجر. يحتاج إلى الحليب والأرز. المتجر بجوار حديقة صغيرة. يشتري طعامه ويجلس في الحديقة عشر دقائق، ثم يعود إلى المنزل ويقرأ كتابًا.
