 READING COMPREHENSION

I had a crazy day today. I had an English exam, and it’s my birthday! I had the exam at  8:30 this morning. I needed to study, so I woke up early – at  6:30 a.m. I took a shower, made some coffee, and studied for about an hour. Well, the coffee didn’t work. I fell asleep! I woke up at 8.20 with my head on my books. I had ten minutes before the test started!

I ran outside, got on my bike, and went to English class. I got there right at 8:30 , but guess what! The teacher never came! My classmates and I waited about half an hour. Then we left. it’s great. Now I can really study for the exam.

I had breakfast, and then I went to my next class – math. I think math is really hard, but I have to take it. My teacher talked for an hour. I wanted to write some notes, but I fell asleep. I need to borrow my friends’ notes.

After I finished class, I met my friend Louisa, and we went to a movie together. It was my birthday, so she paid! Great! We saw the new Nicole Kidman movie. Your know, I usually like her movies a lot, but I didn’t like this movie very much.

When I got home from the movie, my mother called and sang “Happy Birthday” to me. Now I think I have to stay up and finish a paper for a class tomorrow. I hope I don’t fall asleep again!
