Describe a time when you got up early.

　　You should say:

　　When it was What you did

　　Why you got up early

　　And explain how you felt about it

　　Oh, there's lots of times when I have had to get up early, but the last time I remember very clearly was when I was on holiday on the Yangtze River on a sort of boat cruise with my school. It was a really cool trip actually, and each day we travelled down the river on the boat, and stopped off at different places along the way. For sightseeing in China, you usually have to get up really early, you see, so every morning they woke us up just after dawn, which was around 5am. I wasn't very happy about this, to be honest, because I hate waking up early, and also because we all sat up late in the bunk beds drinking beer and playing cards, which made it even more difficult to get up early in the morning and go around the villages and temples and places. So, each and every morning on this Yangtze cruise we had to get up at the crack of dawn, and it was quite awful in many ways. However, I must say that once we were up and had had breakfast and got going it wasn't so bad, and there were fewer tourists at the destinations, because we were often the first to be there! So, all in all, it was probably a good idea that we were made to get up so early, even though we didn't really enjoy it at first. I'm not much of an early bird to be honest, so always find it difficult to get up at 7am, let alone at 5am like on this trip! But, hey, that's often what you have to do on these kind of trips if you want to miss the crowds.
