 A.Most people hate waking up early during the week, but I’ve found something strange —
getting up at 6:30 gives me a peaceful hour before the world gets loud. I make tea,
write a little, and feel calm. It’s my secret weapon for surviving the weekday rush.

B.Have you ever noticed how Sunday evenings feel stressful? I spend most of Sunday
trying to enjoy myself, but there’s always a voice in my head reminding me of everything
waiting for me on Monday — tests, alarms, deadlines. It’s like Monday arrives early.

C.On Saturdays, I don’t set an alarm. I wake up when my body tells me to, usually much
later than during the week. It’s the only day I can truly relax in the morning, drink
coffee slowly, and read a book before I even think about getting dressed. It feels like
my brain finally has time to recharge.

D.Last Sunday, I had to finish a school project while the sun was shining outside. It felt
unfair to be stuck indoors, working on spreadsheets while my friends were at the park.
Balancing fun and responsibility is one of the hardest parts of growing up.

E.My friend has a weekend job at a pet shelter, and although it’s work, she always comes
back smiling. She says it doesn’t feel like a job at all. I think it’s interesting how some
people spend their weekends working but still enjoy them more than their weekdays.

F.My weekdays are so packed that I sometimes forget what day it is. Between school,
homework, and after-school activities, it feels like I’m just running in circles. That’s
why I love Friday evenings — they feel like the finish line of a long race.

G.It’s 3 p.m. on a Thursday, and the classroom is quiet except for the ticking of the
clock. The sun outside draws long shadows across the desks, and everyone’s minds seem
to be somewhere else. This is the moment in the week when I often feel the most tired
— not because of the work, but because the weekend still feels far away. My brain
starts drifting toward plans: maybe a movie night, a late breakfast, or sleeping in. But
for now, I have to stay present, keep writing, keep solving, even though the sunlight
makes me dream of freedom. These “shadows” in the afternoon aren’t just the ones on
the floor — they’re the thoughts of rest that pull me away from my routine.

Woman: So, what’s your usual day like? You always seem so busy.
Man: Well, I usually get up around 5:00 a.m. and work on the computer until 6:00.
Woman: Why do you get up so early?
Man: Well, I have to leave home at twenty to seven (6:40 a.m.) so I can catch a bus at
7:00 o’clock . It takes me about twenty minutes to walk to the bus stop from my house.
Woman: And what time do you get to work?
Man: Uh, my bus takes about an hour to get there, but it stops right in front of my
office.
Woman: That’s nice. And what time do you get off work?
Man: Uh, around 5:00 o’clock. Then, we eat dinner around 6:30, and my wife and I read
and play with the kids until 8:00 or so.
Woman: So, when do you work on your website? You said one time that you create it at
home?
Man: Well, my wife and I often watch TV or talk until 10:00 o’clock. She then often
reads while I work on my site, and I sometimes stay up until the early hours of the
morning, but I try to finish everything by one or two.
Woman: And then you get up at 5:00 a.m.?
Man: Well, yeah, but it’s important to live a balanced life. I enjoy what I do, but you
have to set aside time for the family and yourself.

13.My Perfect Day

I wake up at 8 a.m. because I don’t have school. First, I take a shower and get dressed.
Then I have a nice breakfast — maybe pancakes and tea. I don’t go to school on my
perfect day. Instead, I spend time doing things I enjoy. I like going for a walk with my
friends or going to the cinema. Sometimes, I play video games or listen to music. These
activities help me relax and feel happy. In the evening, I have dinner with my family. We
usually eat something tasty like pasta or pizza. After dinner, I watch a movie or read a
book before going to bed at around 11 p.m. This day is perfect because I don’t have to
hurry or stress. I do what I like, spend time with people I love, and feel happy and
relaxed.

1.
1. When I wake up, the first thing I do is check my phone for messages. Then I get up,
wash my face, and make my bed.

3. I'd like to go to bed earlier because sometimes I feel really tired during the day. If
I slept more, I think I’d be more focused and less sleepy in class.
4. I’d advise to take breaks and do something you enjoy. Also, it’s always important to
keep one’s room clean — it helps feel better and less stressed.

Hi, James! How is your week?

Hey, Sarah! It’s good, thanks. How about yours?
Pretty busy with work and school stuff. But I'm glad it's finally Friday! Got any plans
for the weekend?
Yeah! I'm thinking of going hiking with some friends on Saturday. What about you?
Oh, that sounds fun! I'm planning to visit my grandparents on Saturday morning. Then on
Sunday, I'll just relax at home and read a book.
Nice, family time is always important. Do you usually do different things at weekends
and weekdays?
Sure. Weekdays are all about school and work. Also, I do the chores like cleaning up,
dusting and vacuuming. At the weekends I spend time with family.
I hear you. Weekends are my time to relax too. During the week, it's all about work and
chores, but at the weekends, I try to do things that recharge me, like doing sports or
hanging out with friends.
Yes, it's important to have that balance. Well, I hope you have a great time hiking!
Thanks, Sarah! And enjoy your time with your grandparents. Let's meet next week and
see how our weekends went.
Sounds like a plan. Have a good one, James!
You too, Sarah! Bye!

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your email! I was happy to get it.
Well, now I’d like to answer your questions. I’m really into playing basketball and
drawing. These activities are a great way to relax and be creative. I started playing
basketball four years ago. As for drawing, I picked it up when I was younger, maybe
about 8. I’d love to improve my skills and maybe share my art online someday. Basketball
is just for fun and staying active.
By the way, tell me more about your last hike. Did you take any pictures while hiking?
How long did your hike last? Did you face any challenges on your way?
Hope to hear from you soon!
Best wishes,
Kate
