三. Article

  On a weekday, I usually get up around 6:30 a.m., but this morning I was so sleepy that I closed the snooze button to sleep another 10 minutes. When I woke up, It's already 7:05. Knowing that I overslept and I was going to late for work, I got up quickly, gave my face a quick wash, took a simple breakfast ,and rushed to bus station. When I finally got to the office, it's already 7:58, fortunately I was not late.
