Morning Timetable

Official Audio Prompt

Narration: Three students are discussing the new timetable for this semester. Speaker 1: Hey, guys! Have you checked out the timetable for the new semester yet? I just looked at mine this morning, and I found my schedule is really full this term. I've got several early morning classes, which means I have to get up really early almost every day. My new timetable is quite packed, leaving me little spare time in the morning. Speaker 2: Yeah, I've also switched to a new timetable this semester. Most of my classes start at 9 a.m., and I have to say I really don't like this arrangement. I always feel so tired and sleepy in the morning, so I definitely need a cup of coffee before class to wake myself up, otherwise I can't focus at all. Getting up early every single day has already made me feel exhausted. Speaker 3: Oh, well. I've checked my timetable, and it's quite different from both of yours. I don't have any very early morning classes; most of my classes are scheduled in the afternoon, which I really prefer. I have many seminars and lectures arranged throughout the daytime, but at least I don't need to rush out of bed in a hurry. Speaker 1: Honestly, these early morning classes have completely messed up my daily routine. I'm not used to getting up so early, and I often feel distracted during the first lesson. It's tough to stay energetic and efficient when I haven't had enough rest in the morning. Speaker 2: I totally agree with you. Morning classes are such a struggle for me. Even though my classes start at nine o'clock, I still need to get up early to wash up, have breakfast and walk to the teaching building. I basically rely on coffee to stay awake for my whole morning study. Speaker 3: I'm really lucky in comparison. Having all my classes in the afternoon allows me to sleep longer in the morning and prepare well for my study. I can finish my revision, preview my courses and organize my notes calmly before heading to class. Speaker 1: I wish I could adjust my timetable a little bit. A fully packed schedule with non-stop morning classes makes my semester feel extremely busy and stressful. I barely have time to relax or do extra reading in the morning. Speaker 2: Same here. I hope I can gradually get used to this early class routine later. Drinking coffee every morning is not a long-term solution, but for now, it's the only way for me to keep up with my study progress. Speaker 3: Although I don't have early classes, my afternoon seminars and lectures are intensive and require lots of concentration. Still, I think studying in the afternoon suits my personal study habit better, making my overall schedule more manageable and comfortable.
