Mornings (simple present, habits)
Every weekday morning my alarm

clock rings at 6 o’clock and every weekday morning I try to ignore it. I do not like mornings! I hide my head under the covers and I pretend that it isn’t really morning. I groan. I complain. I say nasty things about mornings. Some mornings I fall back to sleep for a few minutes! After a short time I realize that I have to get up. I sigh. I struggle out of bed and I start my day.
