Anne's Day
Anne got up at six o'clock. It was very hard because she was extremely tired. She slept very little. The day before she was at Jane's party. It was Jane's 20th birthday, so she invited her best friends. The party was good but it was too long and Anne drank too much alcohol. The party finished at about 2 in the morning! Anne got to bed just after 2:30.
First Anne went to the bathroom. She had a cold shower and got dressed. Then she went to the kitchen and had a cup of coffee. She ate a biscuit and went to the garage. She got in her car and left for work. Her drive was very dangerous! She wanted to sleep so much. In the traffic jam she nearly fell asleep. Fortunately she got to her office without having an accident.
Her day at work was very slow. Anne was very sleepy. She had a lot of cups of coffee. They helped her a bit, but not much. Anne's boss was shocked when he saw her. He told her: "Are you ill, Anne? What's the matter with you?”
During her working hours Anne went to the toilet a few times because she was sick. Her colleagues told her: "Anne, what did you do yesterday? It's not a good idea to drink on a weekday.”
When Anne finally got home, she fell on her bed and fell asleep immediately. The next day, when she woke up, she said to herself: "No more alcohol, Anne! No more!”
