A. Complete the letter by circling the correct time word(s) in parentheses.

Dear Mom,

Hi. How are you? I’m fine, but I miss you and Dad a lot. I’m staying very busy here at school, so I don’t have a lot of time to call or write. You won’t believe how full my schedule is every day. I wake up at 7 a.m., and the (first / finally / after that) thing I do is go to the dorm cafeteria and have breakfast. (First / After that / Before that), I run four miles, so I don’t have to feel guilty about all the pizza I have been eating. (Tomorrow / Next week / Then) I go to class from 11:00 until 2:00. (After / Next / Later) class, I spend some time at the library. I study and talk to some friends. (Later / Before / First), I take a slow walk home and get ready for dinner. I forgot to tell you that (after / before / next) dinner, I take a short nap. I’m almost always hungry (after / finally / next) my nap, so I like to go directly to the cafeteria soon (after / before / later) I wake up.

See? I’m very busy – and that’s just my daily schedule! (Next week / Last week / Later week) is also going to be full. I have band practice every day after school, and (finally / first / then) our band has an important two-day competition.

Anyway, Mom, that’s what’s happening here. I hope now you understand why you don’t hear from me so much. Give my love to Dad.

Love,

Rosalie
