How are things? I hope this class finds you well! This week we are going to work with a little bit of Reading Comprehension. If you have any difficulty with the vocabulary of the text in order to answer the questions, look up for words in a good translator online. But don’t translate the whole text, try to grasp the meaning / interpretation by the words you already know.

Se você tiver alguma dificuldade com o vocabulário do texto para responder às perguntas, procure palavras em um bom tradutor online.

My working day starts very early. From Monday to Friday I get up at half past three and I have a shower and a cup of coffee. I usually leave the house at ten past four because the car always arrives a few minutes early. I get to the studio at about five o'clock and start work. My programme Good Morning Britain starts at seven o'clock and finishes at nine o'clock. Then I leave the studio at a quarter past ten. After that, I go shopping and visit some friends. I get home at three o'clock. A woman helps me with the housework and the ironing. I read a newspaper and do some work.
Then my husband gets home at half past five in the evening and I cook dinner. We stay at home in the evening. We don't go out because I go to bed very early. We usually watch television and then I go to bed at half past eight, I'm usually asleep by nine o'clock.
