Question

Tara Lipinski, the famous Olympic gold medalist ice-skater(著名的滑冰奧運(yùn)金牌獲得者), tells us about a day in her life.

“My weekdays are quite tiring. I get up at half past seven and have breakfast. At half past eight, Mom drives me to the Detroit Skating Club, I practice from nine o'clock to lunchtime at twelve o'clock.

I usually eat a turkey sandwich and some biscuits for lunch, and I drink some fresh juice. My lunch break finishes at one o'clock, then I practice with my coaches(教練)until a quarter to three. After that my mother drives me home. I start lessons at home at three o’clock. You see, I can't go to a normal school because I have ice-skating practice in the daytime.

When my teacher leaves, at about half past six, I make dinner with my mother. We have dinner at about half past seven, then, at eight o'clock, I do my homework or watch TV. I usually have a shower at about nine o'clock, then I go to bed at about half past nine.
