READING COMPRENSION
a) Read the text and answser the questions.
My working day starts very early. From Monday to Friday I get up
at half past three and I have a shower and a cup of coffee. I
usually leave the house at ten past four because the car always
arrives a few minutes early. I get to the studio at about five o'clock
and start work. My programme Good Morning Britain starts at
seven o'clock and finishes at nine o'clock. Then I leave the studio
at a quarter past ten. After that, I go shopping and visit some
friends. I get home at three o'clock. A woman helps me with the
housework and the ironing. I read a newspaper and do some work.
Then my husband gets home at half past five in the evening and I
cook dinner. We stay at home in the evening. We don't go out
because I go to bed very early. We usually watch television and
then I go to bed at half past eight, I'm usually asleep by nine
o'clock.
At weekends, I don't get up until ten o'clock. In the evening, we
often see some friends or go to the cinema. But I'm always up
early again on Monday morning.
