I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls, Herbert! Its seven oclock! Get up!
Herbert answers, m coming! and goes right back to sleep. Im not at all like my brother. I dont like to go to bed at night but I dont mind getting up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower. I get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls.
But not Herbert. He just sleeps. A military band (军乐队) in our bedroom could not wake him up. I call him and say, Get up! Mum will be up here to pull you out of bed if you dont get up immediately!
But he just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. Its that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day hell learn to get up on time, but I really dont think so.
