Two: Strategy plus, Showing surprise.

B: Listen to six people talk about their sleep habits. Respond with an expression from the box above.

1. I work so hard during the week, so by the weekend, I’m usually ready to sleep! Sometimes I sleep, oh I don’t know, for thirteen or fourteen hours, you know, right through until lunchtime!

2. Woman If I’m tired, I can fall asleep anywhere. On the bus, at work, watching TV. I can even fall asleep when we have friends over. Like after dinner, everybody’s talking and I’m like zzzz (snoring).

3. Woman I think sleeping is a waste of time, really. I don’t spend too much time in bed because there are so many things I want to do. I sleep about four hours a night. That’s all.

4. Man Often I just can’t get to sleep at night. You know, I go to bed and read, or watch TV, but I just can’t get to sleep. So, now I often get up and do something boring, like organize my CDs or clean the house or something, and then I try again.

5. Man I talk in my sleep. Usually around two in the morning, I start talking. I wake up my roommates. They say they can’t understand anything I say, but it’s kind of embarrassing. Sometimes I talk for about fifteen, twenty minutes.

6. Woman I’m a very light sleeper. I really don’t sleep very well. I can fall asleep no problem, but then I wake up three or four times a night, around two or three o’clock, and then again at four or five.
