Sleep
“During the week I usually wake up1 about 7.30 am.
If I don’t, my mum wakes me up. I get up2 a few
minutes later. In the evenings I go to bed about 10.30 pm, and
usually go to sleep3 straight away4. If
I have a late night5 I try to have a sleep6
in the afternoon when I get home from college.”

Food
“I have
coffee and cereal for breakfast,
then have a light lunch1,
maybe a sandwich and an apple, and a snack2
in the afternoon. We have our main
meal in the evening. If Mum’s late home from work, she doesn’t bother3 to cook;
we just get a takeaway4
instead. One of us has to feed5
the cat as well.”

Bathroom routines
|
“I usually have a shower when I get home
from college because my sister, Rosie, and my brother, Marcus, spend so
much time in the bathroom in the morning. I only have time to have a wash and clean my teeth (syn brush my teeth), before Rosie comes in to put on a bit of make-up. In the winter I sometimes
have a bath instead of1
a shower. I like to lie in the bath and listen to music.

“Fortunately1 we’ve got a cleaner2 who does
a lot of the housework, and
that includes doing my washing3. But I still
have to make my bed and do some of my ironing,
and I sometimes do the shopping
with Mum.”

When we do the shopping,
we buy food at the supermarket; when we go shopping, it is a
leisure activity and we perhaps buy clothes, DVDs, books, etc.

Spare time*
“On weekdays I usually stay
in1 and watch TV in the evening. At the weekend I go out
quite a lot with my friends, either to the cinema or just to a café, and I eat
out2 once a week. Sometimes friends come round3
and we chat4 about clothes, music and college.”
