 Task 1. Work in pairs. Ask and answer about your daily routine.
A: What time do you get up/ go to school/ have breakfast/ have
lunch/ have dinner/ go to school?
B: I usually get up at six.
A: What do you often do in the morning/ afternoon/ evening?
B: I do the housework.

Read the passage and then do the tasks that follow.
Every morning I get up at six. The first thing I do is to wash my
dishes. Then I cooked breakfast. We eat at about seven fifteen.
Usually we have bread and butter, sometimes we have rice, or
boiled sweet potatoes.
It takes me about ten minutes to walk to school, and school begins
with an assembly period at seven forty-five. There are fifteen
hundred children in our school and so we meet in three assemblies;
the infant department, the middle department, and the senior
department.
We have seven periods from eight to one. We study Maths,
Geography, History, Music, Art and Crafts, and English. I like
English best and next to that, Maths. At ten we have a chance to eat
an orange and some peanuts. At noon, we do not rest. At one we
clean up our classroom and close the school.
I go home for lunch, but this time, my sister Patricia gets the meals.

We often eat yams with soup and other dishes. After lunch, I
usually sleep for half an hour. In the afternoon, we play netball. I
sometimes skip, run, and jump with the other girls.
At about six or six thirty we have dinner. Either my sister or I cook
it. The meal is simpler than the mid-day meal. We eat fruit or rice,
and sometimes we have bread and tea. Then in the evening, I do
my homework and go to bed at about ten.

 Task 2. Answer the following questions.

Paper was invented by the Chinese in the first century A.D. The art
of papermaking took 700 years to reach the Muslim world and
another 700 years to get to Britain (via Spain, Southern France and
Germany).
Most paper is made from wood. When the trees are cut down, they
are carried by land or water to paper mills. Here they are cut up
and the wood is broken up into fibers, mixed with water and
chemicals. This wood pulp is then dried up on a machine and made
into paper.

2. Paper is

Papermaking is an important British industry, and paper from
Britain is exported to South Africa, Australia and many other
countries. Some of the wood used in British papermaking industry
comes from trees grown in Britain, but wood is also imported from
other countries such as Norway. One tree is needed for every 400
copies of a forty-page newspaper. If half of the adults in Britain
buy one daily newspaper, this uses up over 40,000 trees a day.
Trees are cut down faster than they can be replaced, so there may
be a paper shortage before the year 2020.
1. Who was paper invented by?
2. What is paper made from?
3. Where is paper from Britain exported to?
4. How many trees are cut down a day if half the British adults
each day buy one daily paper?
