Kathy usually gets up at 6:30， but this moring she didn't hear her alarm. 

As a result, she overslept.

She didn't get up until 7:00， 30 minutes later than usual.

As a result, she didn't have time to cook breakfast for her children.

Today Kathy and her kids left home early.  

They usually leave home at 7:30, but today they left at 7:15.

They  left early because they had to buy breakfast on their way to school. 

It usually takes 45 minutes to drive her kids to school, but today it took longer.

It took them longer bacause they stopped for breakfast a long the way.

It took 15 minutes for them to have breakfast.

They ate at a little coffee shop along the side of the road.

After eating breakfast, they got back into their car.

On most days, the traffic isn't too bad in the morning.

But this morning, it was much worse than usually.

The cars were moving very slowly.  

As a result, it took them longer than usual to get to school.  

One of her children got to school on time, but the other two were late.

They were late because their schools are farther away.  

They were both about 10 minutes late to school.

When kathy finally got home, she cleaned her house as usual.

She vacuumed the living room and cleaned the bathroom.

Then she talked with her friend on the phone as usual.

When she finished talking with her friend, she got into her car.

She put the key into the ignition and tried to start the engine.

But her car's engine didn't start.

Her car battery was dead, so she had to call for help.  

After getting a new battery for her car, the engine started.  

Then kathy drove to the mall to meet her friend.

She arrived at the mall an hour late, but her friend was waiting for her.

They had lunch together, and then they went shopping.

They both bought new shoes and some things for their kids.

Kathy bought a new tie for her husband. 

It's now 3 o'clock, and everything is going as usual.

Kathy doesn't want anything else to go wrong.

She wants the rest of the day to go as usual.  

She doesn't want any more surprises.

And tomorrow, she won't oversleep.

She never wants to oversleep again!  

凱西通常六點(diǎn)半起床，但今天早上她沒聽到鬧鐘響。

結(jié)果，她睡過頭了。

她直到7點(diǎn)才起床，比平時晚了30分鐘。

結(jié)果，她沒有時間為孩子們做早餐。

今天凱西和她的孩子們很早就離開家了。

他們花了15分鐘吃早飯。

他們在路邊的一家小咖啡店里吃東西。

吃完早飯，他們回到車上。

在大多數(shù)日子里，早上的交通并不太糟糕。

她用吸塵器打掃客廳，打掃浴室。

然后她像往常一樣和她的朋友通電話。

當(dāng)她和朋友談完話后，她上了車。

她把鑰匙插進(jìn)點(diǎn)火裝置，試著發(fā)動引擎。

但是她的汽車發(fā)動機(jī)沒有發(fā)動。

她的汽車電池沒電了，所以她不得不打電話求助。

給她的汽車換了一塊新電池后，發(fā)動機(jī)發(fā)動了。
