吴小咪：大龙，你怎么一直在打哈欠啊？
大龙：为了上课不迟到，早上起得太早了。
吴小咪：你几点起床的？
大龙：六点就起了。
吴小咪：早上不是八点才上课吗？
你怎么起那么早？
大龙：因为我早上既要运动又要洗澡，所以我六点就要起来。
吴小咪：你习惯早上运动、洗澡吗？
大龙：是啊，我一直都是早上运动、洗澡。
吴小咪：那你一般什么时候睡觉呢？
大龙：说实话，工作以后，因为要加班，我一般晚上十二点半左右睡，第二天早上八点才起床去上班。
可是现在一边工作一边学习，以前的作息习惯还是改不了。
对我来说，学校的上课时间太早了。
吴小咪：那从今天起，你试一试每天十点半上床睡觉，早上六点起，坚持一段时间，就习惯了。
一方面，早睡早起对身体好；
另一方面，为了上课不睡觉，你也要改变一下你的作息习惯。
大龙：好吧，我试试。
吴小咪：你还没吃早饭吧？
走，我们一起去食堂。
大龙：我不去了，我不吃早饭，并且现在一点儿也不饿。
吴小咪：难道这个也是你的习惯吗？
大龙：以前工作很忙，没有时间吃早饭。
时间一长，也就习惯不吃早饭了。
吴小咪：这样不行，不吃早饭对身体不好。
这个习惯一定得改。
我们去吃你最喜欢的牛肉拉面，怎么样？
大龙：好吧。
可是，小咪，你有一个习惯也一定得改。
吴小咪：什么习惯？
大龙：不运动的习惯啊。
你周末不是在家睡懒觉就是看电视，这样对身体也不好。
吴小咪：你说得对！
那这个周末我们一起去打羽毛球吧。
