3 READING
Read the paragraph and complete the sentences.
I get up really early. I like to be at work before anybody else. I always have breakfast – just a
cup of coffee and a piece of toast – and I always listen to the news on the radio. I walk to the
station and catch the train. I start work at seven o’clock. The other people in the office arrive at
nine. I have a snack at eleven. I don’t eat lunch—I work during the lunch hour. I finish work at
two o’clock and take the train home. Sometimes, I take a nap on the train. It’s hard to work
seven hours without a break, but it gives me time in the afternoon to do the things that I want to
do.
