【问题】

●What time do you usually get up? [Why?]

On weekdays, I tend to wake up at 7.00 a.m. in order to go to school. I need sufficient time to wake up, eat breakfast and get dressed, not to mention commute to school.

On the contrary, during weekends, it is common for me to get up naturally. The time tends to be anytime between 9.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m.

【思路】

工作日+周末，用on  the contrary 引出对比。

●sufficient rest = a good night’s sleep

●feel refreshed = feel rejuvenated = be energized

●A good night’s sleep also makes me feel refreshed and rejuvenated, enabling me to be energised and maintain an optimistic state of mind.
