Lesson 2. Breakfast or lunch?

First listen and then answer the question. Why was the writer's aunt surprised?

It was Sunday.

I never get up early on Sundays.

I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime.

Last Sunday I got up very late.

I looked out of the window.

It was dark outside.

'What a day!' I thought.

'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang.

It was my aunt Lucy.

'I've just arrived by train,' she said.

'I'm coming to see you.'

'But I'm still having breakfast,' I said.

'What are you doing?' she asked.

'I'm having breakfast,' I repeated.

'Dear me,' she said.

Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock.
