Task 1.Read about Tim's normal day and then answer Yes or No for each question.

Every day Tim wakes up at five thirty when his alarm clock rings. He gets up and then goes to the bathroom. After that he makes breakfast for him and his wife, Betty. Tim is a train driver and he wears a uniform.

Tim starts work at seven o'clock and drives trains on the London Underground. He usually works in the mornings from Monday to Friday. At noon he stops work for half an hour to have his lunch. He eats cheese and tomato sandwiches which Betty makes for him, and drinks a bottle of milk. After lunch he works until four o'clock and then he goes home. In the evening he plays with his baby son, Ben, and watches TV with Betty. At ten thirty they all go to bed because they are very tired - and because they get up so early in the morning!
