一、Waking Someone Up
Mom: Hey, Jim, It's time to wake up and get out of bed.
Jim: Do I have to get up now?
Mom: You'd better get up, or you'll be late.
Jim:What are you talking about? My alarm hasn't even gone off yet.
Mom: Yes, it did. It went off 30 minutes ago. You slept right through it. You're like a dead person while you sleep.
Jim: I must have slept right through it.
Mom: Rise and shine! Sleepyhead!
Jim:Just let me sleep 5 more minutes.
Mom: The early bird gets the worm.
Jim: I know. I know. But I don't want any worms.
Mom: Ha! Ha! If you don't make an effort now. Lateron it'll be a lot tougher for you.
Mom: It's time for bed.
Son: But I'm not sleepy, mom. Can I stay up and watch more TV?
Mom: It's already past 11. You have school tomorrow.You'll be sleepy all day tomorrow if you don't sleep well tonight.
Son: I know, but I Promise I won't be sleepy tomorrow. I work really hard.
Mom: Don't you have exams coming up soon? I'm sure you could spend more time preparing for those.
Son: Oh,I nearly forgot the exams.
Mom: You do well in the math, but your history is not good enough. Am I right?
Son:Yeah, I guess so. Maybe I could go to sleep now and get up early to review the lessons tomorrow.
Mom: An excellent idea. Work now and play later.
Son: I know you're right. School is more important than TV, but can I watch one more show, then go to bed?
Mom: No, now is bedtime.
