A Day with Tim and Katie
Practice your pronunciation with this engaging story
Tim is a little boy who lives in a busy city with his older sister Katie. They get up early every day, just after the sunlight begins to shine through the window.
Tim goes to the kitchen to grab a bit of breakfast, usually a bowl of sweet cereal and a glass of cold water. Katie, who's a few years older, likes toast with peanut butter. She always says, "You better eat fast or we'll be late!"
After breakfast, the two head out for school. On the way, they meet their friend Peter at the bus stop. Peter likes to chat about video games and always carries a bottle of juice. When he talks fast, he says things like "I boddled it up," dropping the /t/ like a hiccup.
Once they arrive at school, they sit in their math and science classes, where Tim sometimes struggles to keep still. He fidgets in his seat, tapping his feet, and Katie gives him a look like, "Better stop that."
At lunchtime, Tim eats a turkey sandwich, and Katie shares some of her potato chips. The teacher says, "You guys are great today," and gives them stickers. That makes Tim beam with pride.
After school, they go to the skate park, a little place near the mountain trail. Tim has a brand-new skateboard with flames on it. He practices a kickflip, but later, he falls and hits his elbow. It isn't bad, but he sits quietly for a minute, breathing slowly. Katie says, "You're tough, Tim."
They head home just before sunset, tired but happy. At home, they take showers, put on their pajamas, and gather in the living room to watch a cartoon. Tim picks a movie called "Space Battle 7," where the robots fight with lasers and escape from a burning planet.
By the time the movie ends, Tim is nearly asleep. He mumbles, "I wanna be a space pilot someday," before drifting off. Katie tucks him in and whispers, "Sleep well, little brother."
