I have a coffee house in the downtown area, and I work with five other people. We have a long opening time, generally from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., so we work different shifts. This week Im on the early shift, so I have to get up at about 4 a.m.on weekdays, but half an hour later on weekends. Its very early compared with most jobs, but the biggest problem is that I have to change shifts every two weeks, and its often difficult at that time. I sometimes dont sleep well, but Im used to it. Another problem is different mealtimes, but I dont worry about that too much. No matter how early I get up, I usually have some orange juice and a piece of toast for breakfast, so I always feel hungry at lunch time, usually at about half past twelve, after a busy mornings work. I sometimes eat a big lunch at my own shop. But I never eat much in the evening, usually a sandwich, or a vegetable salad. I finish my job at about 2 for the early shift, then I go home and take a shower, and sleep a little more. I must work every day for my own coffee house, so I hardly ever have my own time. I rarely go out with my friends, but the good thing is that we can meet at my shop every week.Key to Exercise C 1.generally 2.on weekdays 3.on weekends 4.every two weeks 5.often 6.sometimes 7.usually 8.always 9.usually 10.sometimes 11.never 12.usually 13.hardly 14.rarely 15.every weekPractical Writing a.
