I
think
the
most
terrible
thing
in
life
for
my
little brother
is
getting
up
in
the
morning.
He
is
almost sick when my
mother calls,
Herbert answers,
and goes right back to sleep. I'm not
at all like my brother. I
don't like to
go to bed at night but I don't mind getting up in
the morning. I usually wake up before my
mother calls me. I jump out of bed and
go into the bathroom to take a shower. I get
dressed, brush my
teeth, comb my hair,
and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast as
soon as my mother calls.
But not
Herbert. He just sleeps. A military band
(
军乐队
) in our bedroom could
not wake him
up.
I
call
him
and
say,
up!
Mum
will
be
up
here
to
pull
you
out
of
bed
if
you
don't
get
up
immediately!
But
he
just
sleeps.
After
calling
a
few
more
times
my
mother
has
to
come
upstairs
and
pull
Herbert
out of bed. It's that way every day with my little
brother. Perhaps some day he'll learn to get
up on time, but I really don't think
so.

like to go to bed early at night and get up early
in the morning.

up.

In
England,
people
often
talk
about

cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny,
the sun will begin to shine, and it
