🔹 𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗞 𝟮:
Describe an occasion when you got up early
You should say:
• When you got up
• What you did
• Why you got up early
• And how you felt about it
Let me talk about an occasion I got up extremely early, which happened in April
this year. I was planning to take a business trip with a colleague. In that
morning, I woke up early, at about 3 o’clock to get to the airport where we
agreed to meet. I took a seat in the café bar in the airport and waited for him.
One hour soon passed, but he didn’t show up. I was beginning to worry a bit then,
hoping he would not forget the business trip or wake up late. I made a telephone
call to him, but could not put through, which made me more depressed. I had no
ideas but made another telephone call to my superior and told him about my
current situation, he told me to fly alone if my colleague didn’t get to the airport
in time in the end.
To my surprise, after I hung up the telephone, I saw him entering the gate of the
airport slowly. I asked him why he came to airport so late. He just said he never
hurried to catchthe airplane and told me that I should take it easy. Oh, I doubted
whether he lived near here.
Getting up early is really hard for me but waiting for someone who doesn’t keep
time is even harder. I really didn’t want to go on a trip with him next time.

I suppose they might, but then it would really depend on the rest of the person’s
daily routine. I mean, if the person normally works late at night but doesn’t have
to get up early the next day – so it’s a regular routine – working late – sleeping
late – then maybe they manage to sleep fine during the day and get enough sleep
to rejuvenate themselves.
After all, it’s what people who work shifts have to do all the time – they might
work nights for a couple of weeks or even a month and then switch to daytime
shifts. So they have to get used to sleeping at different times of day or night
depending on their work pattern.
But the important thing is that their routine is not irregular or changing every
other day – it’s normally fixed for a period of time so that they can plan their life
around it.

Sometimes, yes. It depends if I’m studying something I’m really interested in or
not. I can remember some nights when I was studying for my degree when I
literally lost track of time and studied almost right through the night.When it’s a
topic or subject that is interesting the time just flies by. But, there are also times
when I had to study certain subjects that I didn’t find very interesting and those I
usually left for the daytime, early in the morning when I felt I had more energy to
concentrate on it.So it totally depends on what it is that I have to study. But
when I do study late I quite enjoy the change in routine,
and there is an added bonus – late at night there are less distractions because
normally all my family are asleep and the house is nice and quiet.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁?
Well, as I said, one of the advantages that I found was that I was interrupted
less, so maybe people like the fact that they have more peace and quiet to study
late at night, they might like the fact that they’ve had time to relax a little after
their day, have something to eat and shower and be feeling fresh and
reenergized and ready to concentrate on studying. Some people might like it
simply because it’s the only time of day they can actually find the time to focus
and concentrate without other people always asking them something. In the
evening or at night it’s usually easier to study for an extended period of time.
During the day there tend to be many more things which have to be done or
maybe you can only find short periods of time to study during the day before you
need to be someplace else.

I would guess that, for example, in Europe where the days are longer in the
summer and shorter in the winter there are various advantages, especially in the
summer. You might be able to take advantage of the additional daylight hours
after work to do some kind of sport oractivity outside with your family of friends
or simply enjoy the summer evening outside in the garden.A disadvantage would
be that the winter days are shorter with less sunlight, so you get up in the dark,
go to work in the dark, and go home again in the dark in some cases. That would
mean that for people who work inside all day they might not
see much natural daylight except at weekends.As for places which have fixed
times, well, I suppose an advantage would be that you don’t have to make any
changes to your habits or adapt your routines to suit the seasonal changes as
much. I mean, we just have a dry season and a wet season, but we don’t have to
make much of an adjustment to the way we live. It’s still light at the same time
every day and dark at the same time of night every day all year long.
