I usually get up at 7 o’clock. Of course it’s too early for me. You can say “Why? ” I’ll answer: «I like to sleep so much, and I usually go to bed very late. So at 7 o’clock I feel myself sleepy. For that reason I drink a cup of strong coffee to wake up more quickly. After a cup of coffee I usually take a shower. Fresh shower braces up. Then I get dressed. I open my wardrobe and choose what I want to wear today. It’s high time, I’m in a hurry. But I try to have a snack (sandwiches, eggs, porridge and so on). I need to be at school (university) at 8.30. I get away and go to the bus stop. I usually go to school (university) by bus. (I go to school (university) on foot.)
