Talking about routines - Tapescript

Unit 3 Page 40, Exercises 4 and 5

Laura: Hi, Sam. Listen! I know we always play tennis on Tuesday and Thursday but I can’t play today.

Sam: Why?

Laura: Because I’ve got a new pet!

Sam: Really? What pet? A hamster? A dog?

Laura: No, I’ve got a rabbit. Its name is Glenda and she lives in my room.

Sam: OK … but why can’t you play tennis?

Laura: Well, rabbits are messy, so now I clean my room at four o’clock every afternoon. See,
my mother comes home at five every day, and she doesn’t like pets or messy rooms.

Sam: Oh. Does your mother hate Glenda?

Laura: No, she doesn’t. My room is really clean now, so my mother’s very happy. But I’m not!
I really want to continue playing tennis but I can’t.

Sam: Don’t worry, Linda. I don’t want to play tennis today. I’m very tired.

Laura: Really? Why are you so tired? When do you go to bed?

Sam: I usually go to bed at ten o’clock after I walk my dog.

Laura: Ten o’clock is early. I always go to bed at twelve o’clock.

Sam: Yes, but I get up early. I get up at quarter past six because I do sport.

Laura: Really? Quarter past six? How often do you get up at quarter past six?

Sam: Every day! I’ve got football practice at seven o’clock every morning.

Laura: Wow! I always have a shower at seven o’clock. Then I do my homework. I start my homework at quarter past seven and I finish just in time for school.

Sam: I don’t understand. Why do you do your homework at quarter past seven in the morning?

Laura: Because I have got music lessons on Monday and on Wednesday and I play tennis with you on Tuesday and Thursday! I haven’t got time for homework!
