| ...We’ve just set the clock forward again for the Daylight Saving Time. I understand it is important for saving energy, but it’s so difficult to wake up an hour early! I usually go to bed quite late at night because of all the homework. School begins at 7 am, so I have to be at the school bus stop at 6:30! What time do you usually go to bed and wake up? How do you get to school? How much time do you spend on your homework? Oh no! While I was writing this letter, my little brother dropped and broke my phone! |

Dear Matthew,
Thank you for your message. I couldn't write to you any earlier.
It's a pity that you have to wake up so early. As for me, I go to bed after midnight and wake up at 7 o'clock, so I cannot sleep properly. I am lucky that my school is not far from home, so I go there on foot. Our studying process involves a lot of hard work both at school and at home, that is why I have a lot of homework, which I can spend more than 5-6 hours on.
Anyway, you've mentioned one accident with your phone. Have you already assessed the damage? What will you do if this one doesn't work any more? Which specific phone model would you like to purchase?
I've got to go as my friend is asking me for help.
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Elle
