Script
Unit 2
Exercise 1
I usually follow the same routine on college days. I get
up early in the morning at 6 oclock. I study for sometime
and then I get dressed. I always reach college on time. In
the afternoon, I almost always go out with friends to
play cricket or basketball. I often study in the evening,
but I never miss my favourite TV programmes. I usually
go to bed before 10 oclock.
I love weekends. I always get up late in the morning and
then have a big breakfast. I usually watch TV in the
afternoon. Sometimes I go out with friends either to play
or just roam around. I often go to bed late.
My family always goes on long holidays. We visit
different places. We usually stay in hotels. But in the
places where we have relatives, we stay with them. We
never travel by air, we travel by road. Its fun.
