Question 1

You’re back from holiday now, so I suppose it’s business as usual.

Answer 1

My typical morning starts quite early, because I don’t like getting ready in a hurry. My alarm clock goes off at 6.30, then I get out of bed and go downstairs in my
dressing gown.
I make a cup of tea and have some breakfast. Then
I have a shower and clean my teeth. Then I get dressed comb my hair and put on my make-up.
Then I make the bed and do the washing up. If I’ve got
time, I sometimes check my email and look at the front page of the newspaper. I never watch TV in the morning. I usually leave the mouse at 8.15.
