2. I always dance on Mondays / Siempre bailo los lunes
Vamos a fijarnos ahora en algo diferente del e-mail de María. Seguro que te has preguntado qué significan estas palabras que ves ahora en negrita:
Hello Ulrike! My name is María and I am from Spain. I live in London and I am very happy with my dance grant. I am learning a lot and I am very glad I accepted the grant to come here. I think that, the best way for you to get an idea of how things work here, is to explain what I do every day. I usually get up at seven o´clock in the morning. I always have a shower and get dressed. Then I have a tea and a toast for breakfast and I leave my flat. I sometimes take the underground to go to my dance academy, but on Mondays and Thursdays I take the bus at half past seven. I attend my dance lessons and I always have lunch at twelve o´clock. In the afternoon I take English, Geography and maths lessons. I always take the underground back home but I never arrive home before six in the evening. Anne (my flatmate) always arrives before and she often prepares dinner for us both. She doesn´t eat meat because she is a vegetarian, so we never eat meat for dinner, she cooks pasta wonderfully. I don´t watch TV in the evening because I don´t understand it very well, but I usually listen to music or read On my bed. I hope you accept the grant and you come here. What do you do everyday? Do you cook? What kind of music do you dance? I am looking forward to your reply, best wishes, María
