A Dialogue:

A.: What do you do in the course of the day?

V.: Well, it's not a simple question. Sometimes I do a lot

of things during the day.

A.: When does your working day start?

V.: I prefer to go to bed early and to get up early, too. I follow the weir known proverb:

"Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise". That's why I try to get up as early as possible.

A.: Oh, yes. You are an early-riser, aren't you?

V.: Yes, something like that. You know the earlier you start your day, the more work you'll do.

А.: Have you got a sort of a dairy? Do you plan your work in advance? V.: Yes, I've got a dairy and I plan my work well in advance.
