В. (The USA). Read this text without dictionary.
I got up at seven-thirty. After my bath I ate breakfast with my parents on the deck. Our apartment is on the sixteenth floor, so the view is terrific. At eight o'clock my mom and I took the elevator to the parking lot underneath our apartment block. First we stopped for gas, and then she drove me to school. The freeway was very busy - automobiles everywhere.
School was OK except that we had a math test before recess. I think I flunked it. Anyway, after school I took a bus downtown to meet my sister, Susan. She became a grade school teacher after she left college. We ate out at a Chinese restaurant. I ordered french-fries. After dessert and coffee we left. It was raining and the sidewalks were wet. At home I did a history assignment for the next day, watched a movie on TV and went to bed around eleven-thirty. I was pooped.
