THERESA’S DAY

Today is Saturday. Theresa had been sleeping for eight hours when the doorbell rang. She got up to answer the door, but no one was there. The
sound of the doorbell had also woken up Maria, Theresa’s roommate. Because neither of them could go back to sleep, they decided to have breakfast.
While Theresa was making breakfast, Maria was taking a shower. While they were eating their breakfast, they heard a loud crash from outside. They ran to
the window and looked outside. Their friend, Tom, had been skateboarding, but he had lost control of his skateboard and crashed into the garbage cans.
Theresa and Maria ran outside to see how Tom was. He had a few scrapes and bruises, and he was wearing a banana peel and broken eggshells on his head.
Theresa and Maria gave him some antiseptic and bandages. They wanted him to go to the nurse, but he said he was all right.

After that, Theresa and Maria went back inside, finished their breakfast and watched a tape. Now it is 12:00, and Theresa is eating lunch. She is
eating a salad. Lately, she has been trying to eat more leafy green vegetables. Everyone tells her this will make her healthier, but it’s not easy for her
because it’s hard to for her to find leafy green vegetables that she likes. She will be doing many things this afternoon and evening. At 1:30, she will go to the
swimming pool and swim some laps. She practices swimming four times a week because she is on the swim team. She has been on the swim team for two
years. When she finishes swimming, she will take a shower and get ready for her evening. First, she will eat dinner at a Chinese restaurant. Next, she plans
to watch Citizen Kane with Maria, Tom, and Ed, Tom’s brother. By the time the movie ends, they will have seen it sixteen times. After the movie, they will go
to a local dance club. By midnight, they will have been dancing for three hours. At 3 a.m., Theresa and Maria will come home and go to sleep. Tomorrow
will be less busy.
