Lesson 2
Breakfast or lunch?
It
was Sunday.
I never get
up early on
Sundays.
I sometimes stay in
bed until
lunch time. Last
Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the
window. It was dark
outside. 'What a
day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then,
the telephone rang. It
was my aunt
Lucy. 'I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm
coming to see you.'
'But I'm still
having breakfast,' I said.
'What are
you doing?' she asked.
'I'm having
breakfast,' I repeated.
'Dear me,' she
said. 'Do you always get up so late? It's one
o'clock!'
