FIRST TERM EXAM
UNIVERSIDAD DEL ATLANTICO
NAME:
SECTION 1. GRAMMAR: SIMPLE PRESENT/WH QUESTIONS
I live in New quay. It’s a small town on the Atlantic coast in the south of England. It has got
great beaches and is the best place to surf in the UK. There are lots of surf schools where you
can learn how to surf. I go surfing with my friends every weekend. My favorite place is Fistral
Beach.
I love New quay because there are lots of other things to do as well as surfing. If you like
water sports, you can go kayaking, water-skiing or coasteering. Coasteering is different
because it is rock climbing, jumping into the sea and swimming in the same activity, but you
should always go with a special instructor.
If you like animals you can also visit the Blue Reef Aquarium and see lots of different fish
and even sharks. You can also go horse riding on the beach or visit New quay Zoo. There are
lots of other attractions too like mini golf and bowling. Come and see for yourself!

The daily routines of a sportswoman
Janet is an athlete, and she wakes up at 4:30 am every weekday morning. She spends the
first 30 minutes reading and then 15 minutes meditating. At 5:15 am Janet checks her email
for only 30 minutes and then goes for her first run of the day. She runs for an hour and a half
along the lake near her house. After running, Janet has a shower and then prepares
breakfast, which is usually cereal and fruit. However, she occasionally has a less healthy
breakfast.
She usually finishes breakfast at around 8 am. If it is a weekday, she always leaves the
house at 8:20 and goes to training. Her training starts at 9 am, and she needs 30 minutes to
drive to the gym. She trains for 3 hours with her team and then goes home for lunch. She
always eats a very big and healthy lunch. As soon as she finishes lunch, she has a nap for
one hour.
After her nap, she likes to go for a walk around the lake and look at nature. She
sometimes reads or meditates at the lake in the afternoon. In the evening, during the week,
she meets up with friends. Most of her friends are athletes too, so they have a lot to talk
about.
She typically goes to bed at 9 pm because she prefers to be awake in the morning than at
night. She sometimes falls asleep listening to music, but she never watches the television or
reads anything on her tablet. She always makes sure her alarm is set and is almost always
asleep by 9:45 pm.

My daily routine
Hello! My name is David and this is my daily routine:
I wake up at 5 am every morning. The first thing I do, I take a shower, and I brush my teeth.
After I go to room, I get dressed, and I have breakfast to be ready to go the university.
When I arrived at the university, I sometimes review my cellphone, or I see my class schedule
to go the class. I start the class at 6:30 am, and I usually finished the class at 12:30 or 2:30
pm. As soon as the class finish, I like to go the library to study with my classmates.
Then I go to my home, and I have lunch at 2 pm. I always have a nap, after I had lunch.
I sleep for 2 or 3 hours, unless I don’t have homework. In the evening type 4 or 5 pm, I go to
play soccer in the street with some friends for 1 hours every other day, then I have dinner (I
like to eat of my daddy’s food) or I go to buy some fried. At 7 pm, I do my homework in my
computer, and I go to bed at 8 pm. In that hour I watch movies or series, and some cases I
play videogame until to be tired, and I go to bed at 9 pm.
