【趣談英語】Interview with a swimmer


  We spoke to Dan who likes swimming in his free time. Read the conversation and do the exercises.

  Interviewer:  Can you tell me about a typical day in your life for the school magazine?

  Dan:  Sure. I get up very early. I get up every day at 5 o'clock and go to the pool. Then I swim from 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock. Then at 8 o'clock I have a shower, I get dressed and I have breakfast. I have a big breakfast: cereals, toast, bacon and eggs and orange juice. At 11 o'clock I go to university. I'm studying sports science and I have classes from 11 o'clock to 4 o'clock. I have lunch at about 2 o'clock at the university.

  Interviewer:  What do you do after classes?

  Dan:  Sometimes I go to the gym and sometimes I meet my friends at a café. I have dinner at 7 o'clock, then I watch TV or go online and I usually go to bed at 10 o'clock.

  Interviewer:  Thanks, Dan. That's a busy day!
