A: Hey, Sandra, do you want to go to the movies tonight?

B: Maybe… what time?

A: How about the nine fifteen show?

B: Oh, that’s too late for me… I usually go to bed at eight thirty.

A: So early?

B: Yeah…. I have to get up at five a.m. to study before school.

A: Five a.m.? Why don’t you study at night?

B: I don’t like to stay up late. I’m a morning person.

2.

A: You look tired, John.

B: Yeah, well, I’m always tired.

A: Do you want to go running tomorrow morning, Sam?

B: It depends… what time?

A: Hi, James, what’s new?
