Talking about speaking habits
February 19th, 2017 in English Learning
People have different sleeping habits. Some can’t stay up beyond 11 pm. Others won’t hit the bed until 2 am. Here are some questions you can use to ask about sleeping habits.
‘What time do you usually go to sleep?’ ‘I’m a night owl. I sleep pretty late.’
‘Are you a night person or a morning person?’ ‘I get up at 5 am so I guess I’m a morning person.’
‘What time do you usually go to sleep?’ ‘At around 10 pm. But I don’t mind staying up late if I’ve got something to do.’
‘What time do you usually get up?’ ‘At around 7 am.’
‘Do you get up early in the morning?’ ‘No, I don’t.’ / ‘Yes, I do.’
Conversation 1
It wasn’t just any snore!
Mary: Stella, you look tired. Didn’t you get a good night’s sleep?
Stella: Nope. Martin kept me awake all night.
Mary: What?!
Stella: He doesn’t usually snore, but last night he really sawed some logs! And it wasn’t just any snore! I’d have slept better if I’d been sitting at a railway station. It was worse, you know.
Mary: My dad used to snore like that. Poor mom! She’d hardly get any sleep.
Stella: How did she bear it? I don’t think I can take another night like that again!
Mary: Well, I’ve got a simple solution for you.
Stella: What’s it?
Mary: Simple. Buy a pair of earplugs
