On week days I get my alarm-clock for a quarter past seven but I get up at half-past seven. It takes me about ten minutes to wash and get dressed and then I go downstairs and have breakfast. Usually for breakfast I drink a cup of tea and have some marmalade and a toast. Then quickly I sort out my books for the day and meet my friend at the corner of my street at ten past eight.
By twenty past eight we are at school and we are able to talk to out friends for twenty minutes before we have to go to our separate classes for registration at twenty minutes to nine. At nine o’clock our lessons start. They last for forty-five minutes but then at eleven o’clock we have mid-morning breakfast for twenty minutes and then have one more lesson before lunch-time.
At twenty past twelve we have a lunch break and usually we all sit in the dining-hall and eat our sandwiches with our friends, or a few of us have school dinner. If the weather is I nice we sit in the playground and eat our lunch there. We have two lessons from half-past one to half-past three and then it is home-time.
After a tiring day at school I relax by sitting down and talking to my mother about my day until dinner is ready at five o’clock. After dinner I start my homework. I always have something to do, either to read a book, or to do some exercises or write an essay or learn for a test. By nine o’clock I always try to finish doing my homework so then I can relax by talking to my family and watching television. Then I go to bed at half-past ten in order to be up bright and early the following day.
Lucy exclaimed that she couldn`t believe that and asked what she was going to de then.
Jane asked Lucy what was the matter.
Lucy answered that she had just killed a poor little spider and offered to look at.
Jane advised to try not to worry too much and added that it had been an accident, after all.
Lucy disagreed that wasn`t the point.
Jane asked what Lucy meant.
Lucy answered that killing a spider was bad luck and asked if Jane hadn`t known that?
Jane exclaimed that Lucy would never pass her exams or win that school writing competition she had entered!
Lucy said that was not funny and she was really worried about that.
Jane apologized and said that she didn't mean to make fun of her. And she wondered whether killing a spider was bad luck and if Lucy really believed that.
Lucy answered that she was quite superstitious and Jane knew that, and added that she never went anywhere without her lucky charm.
Jane said that she thought superstitions were all a load of rubbish and she walked under ladders all the time and nothing bad ever happened. Jane asked if that Lucy`s mobile phone was ringing.
Lucy exclaimed that Mrs Smith was, her English teacher. And she added that maybe she really won the competition.
Jane was glad and offered Lucy to forget the spider and to an answer quickly. She exclaimed that perhaps it was Lucy`s lucky day.
