READING COMPREHENSION

1.Read the following text:

I’m Tim Black. I’m a doctor. I work at a hospital. My wife, Kim, is a teacher. She teaches Music at a
college. We get up at seven o’clock every morning. Kim sets the table, and we have breakfast. Kim
likes toast and tea, but I don’t. I eat an egg and I drink milk at breakfast. Then, we leave home at a
quarter past eight.

I start to work at nine o’clock. I am very busy, so I can’t have a break. At half past twelve, I have lunch
at the hospital cafeteria. The food at the cafeteria is very good, so I don’t go out for lunch. Kim returns
home at three o’clock in the afternoon, and I come back at five o’clock. Afterwards, we have dinner at
half past six. I watch TV in the evenings, but Kim doesn’t. She reads a book or she listens to music.
We go to bed early after a tiring day.

At weekends we go to the cinema or theatre. My wife and I like shopping, so we usually go shopping
on Saturdays. We have a holiday every August. We often go to Izmir in Turkey for holiday. I ride a
bike and Kim walks around, because she doesn’t know how to ride a bike. We like Izmir very much,
so we go there every summer.
