Reading
The day of a sportsman

Chris is an athlete and he wakes up at 4:00 am every weekday morning. He spends the first 30 minutes reading and then
15 minutes meditating. At 5:00 am Chris checks his email for only 15 minutes and then goes for his first run of the day.
He runs for an hour and a half along the lake near his house. After running, Chris has a shower and then prepares breakfast,
which is usually yogurt and fruit. However, he occasionally has coffee and bacon and fried eggs. He usually finishes breakfast
at around 7 am. If it is a weekday, he always leaves the house at 8 am and goes to training. His training starts at 8:30 am, and
he needs 30 minutes to drive to the gym. He trains for 3 hours with his team and then goes home for lunch. He always eats a
very big and healthy lunch. As soon as he finishes lunch, he has a nap for one hour. After his nap, he likes to go for a walk
around the lake and look at nature. He sometimes reads or meditates at the lake in the afternoon. In the evening, during the
week, he meets up with friends. Most of his friends are athletes too, so they have a lot to talk about. He typically goes to bed
at 9 pm because he prefers to be awake in the morning than at night. He sometimes falls asleep listening to music, but he
never watches the television or reads anything on his tablet. He always makes sure his alarm is set and is almost always asleep
by 9:45 pm.

Hi Paul,
I live in Worcester, a beautiful city in England. There are a
lot of old buildings and there are some very nice parks.
Worcester is famous for its cathedral, and you can go and
visit it as a tourist every Thursday from 11am. I go there

The famous “egg”

Did you know that there are many ways to cook an egg? When you go to a restaurant in the United States, for
example, it is common to hear the phrase “sunny side up”. What does this mean exactly? It means that the egg
yolk looks like a shining sun. It comes with practice!
That’s often why people ask the question: “How do you want your eggs?” You can have hard boiled eggs, soft
boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, soft scrambled eggs, omelets, eggs cooked over easy, eggs over medium, eggs
over hard, poached eggs, baked eggs and even Spanish style eggs. In fact, most native speakers of English know
what these types of eggs are, but for a student of English it can be quite confusing! I would recommend studying
the different types of eggs and then even trying to cook them. That’s the only way to way to master the art of
cooking. And the same rule applies with learning English.

1.- One of the ways to cook an egg is the famous “broken yolk”.
A right B wrong C doesn’t mention

2.- “Sunny side up” means the egg is fried with bacon.
