Hello, George.

Something interesting happened during the last Christmas shopping hour in London.<br />A poor man, who, though no fault of his own, found himself locked in a big store late on Christmas Eve.<br />When he realized that, he decided to make the best of it.<br />In the store, of course, there was plenty of food, drink, and bedding.<br />There must have been radios and television sets, which no one could tell whether the man had ever used.<br />When the store reopened, the man was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him.<br />He seemed to have been very happy. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no reason why he should not do the same.<br />Happily enough, he let the police take him away.<br />Perhaps he had a better Christmas than usual.<br />It was reported that the man would have to stay in prison for seven days.<br />It seemed, however, the judge was not going to do anything for the store,<br />as he said that the store had become better known through the story in the newspapers and on television.

I get up every day at 7 o'clock in the morning.<br />School starts at 8 o'clock, so I need at least an hour to get ready.<br />After I wake up, I go downstairs and eat the breakfast prepared for me by my mom, who wakes<br />up even earlier than me.<br />Even though it only takes me 15 minutes to eat breakfast, I spend about half an hour<br />downstairs finishing my breakfast and watching my favorite cartoons before going back upstairs<br />to take a shower.<br />After eating breakfast, watching TV and taking a shower, it is usually about 7.45.<br />This leaves me just enough time to get dressed and ride my bike to get to school.<br />School lasts from 8 o'clock in the morning to 3 o'clock in the afternoon with a one-hour<br />break in the middle of the day for lunch.<br />I buy my lunch every day in the school cafe and eat with all my friends at the big table<br />in the center of the cafe.<br />We usually take about 20 minutes to eat lunch and use the rest of the time to play basketball<br />or soccer.<br />After school is over, I go directly to baseball practice from 3.30 to 5 o'clock p.m. at the<br />field down the street from my house.<br />After I get back home, I eat the dinner my mom has prepared and then do my homework.<br />I go immediately to bed after watching TV for exactly one hour at 9 o'clock p.m. every<br />night.
