Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

MY DAILY ROUTINE

My life is always full of activities, so I never have much time for myself. During the week it's the worst. I usually have to get up at 5:30am even though I would really prefer to sleep much later. I don't usually have time for breakfast because I have to catch a bus to school at 7:00 am. The bus is usually packed with many people. Classes at school start at a quarter to eight except on Tuesdays when they start at seven. Each lesson is forty-five minutes long with ten minutes break in between.

After school I go shopping or just walk around the town for a while. Getting home, I listen to the radio or watch T.V and maybe get a snack. Then I start doing my homework or help my Mom with some housework. Before I know it, the afternoon is gone and it is evening

In my family, we usually eat dinner at about seven o'clock. At dinner we discuss what happened during the day and catch up with each others'lives. Then I have some time to watch T.V news. Sometimes, it is an interesting film or a video.

On the weekend it is a different story. I sleep late and do whatever I wish with my free time. I can go for a trip with friends, visit relatives or devote more time to my hobbies. I think everyone will agree that weekends are much better than weekdays.
