Katie Excuse me. I'm interviewing students about their typical day. Can I ask you some questions, please?

Katie That's right, a student magazine. What are you doing in the town centre this morning?

Lily We're looking for a present for our mum.

Katie Do you always go shopping on Saturdays?

Lily No, I don't. I usually go to basketball on Saturday morning, but we aren't playing today. My brother isn't playing rugby today, either.

Lily That depends on the day. My mum wakes me up at 7.00, before she goes to work but I don't get up immediately. I sometimes go to sleep again.
