READING PRACTICE : JACK MARTIN

My name is Jack Martin. I’m a lawyer and I work in an office near here. I work from about 9 o’clock in the morning until 6 o’clock each day. Actually, I work just five days a week. I don’t go to work on Saturdays or Sundays.
Usually, I have breakfast and dinner at home. I have lunch in a restaurant near my office. In the evening, I sometimes listen to the radio or watch television. I never go to the movies. Once in a while I go to a party at a friend’s house. Every night I go to bed early and go to sleep immediately. Usually, I sleep soundly all night.
Last year I used to get to work at 8 o’clock every day. I used to set my alarm clock for 6 o’clock each morning. At 6:00, I used to get up immediately and get dressed quickly. I used to have breakfast at 6:30 every morning. For breakfast, I used to have juice, oatmeal, toast, and coffee. Then I used to leave the house at about 7:45. I used to get to the office at 8 o’clock and start working immediately. Every day I used to work until 7 or 8 o’clock in the evening.
I didn’t get home until nearly 8:30 at night. I used to have dinner quite late and go right to bed. I didn’t have time to listen to the radio or watch television last year.
