Read about Dave who works at night printing newspapers. Complete the text with a phrase from the previous task.

I started working nights two months ago, and it's a big change to my routine. Sometimes I am so tired that I … asleep at work when there is nothing to do. I finish work at 5.30 a.m., go home, … - it's quite dirty work – and … at about 7 a.m. I don't need to … - it's light outside then. I don't … either, because I usually … at around 1.30 p.m. because of the noise of the school children playing outside. Often I still … because I don't sleep well and … lots of strange things, like newspapers covering the sky and making it dark all the time! I finally … at about 3 p.m.: I … (if I can find any clean clothes) and make a cup of coffee. It's funny but then I switch on my computer and read newspapers on the Internet.

2. Sleeping talk.

a). What helps you to fall asleep? What helps you to wake up in the morning?

b). Most people need eight hours' sleep. How many hours do you need? How many hours did you sleep last night? Did you sleep well or badly?

c). Some people can sleep on a train / on a bus / on a plane / in a chair/ standing / on a lecture. Can you? When and where did you do it last time?

d). Some people snore in their sleep / walk in their sleep / talk in their sleep. Do you? Do you know such people?

3. Some people have very strange dreams. Write down the story putting the past tense of the verbs and prepositions instead of■.

Check it in class and learn the story by heart. Next time you will write a dictation translation (and will learn the real end of the story). Did you like this dream?
