directions: alicia has to write a narrative essay for her english class about a series of events related to her school life. after reading through her essay, complete questions 6 and 7. here is the beginning of her essay:

how i beat the alarm clock

1 “rinnggg! ” at 6: 30 am, the alarm clock goes off next to my head, but i am already awake. i can hear you ask, “how does she beat the alarm clock? ” well, it isn’t easy, but with a few changes in habit, you too can wake up before the alarm clock goes off.

2 it’s true that like a lot of teens, i used to stay up late reading, listening to music on my headphones, or even studying until 11: 00 pm. i was always really tired the next morning when my alarm clock went off at 6: 30 am, so i’d hit the snooze button again and again until my mom had to wake me up at 7: 30 am.

3 i knew i had to solve this problem, so i came up with a plan that worked. i started going to bed thirty minutes earlier. i put my feet on the floor and stood up instead of slapping “snooze.” i found myself tired by 10: 00 pm. because i had been awake since 6: 30 in the morning, 10: 00 pm now seemed really late. from then on, i fell asleep quickly and woke up before my alarm went off.

4 now i’m on time to school every day. if you’re late a lot, maybe this plan will work for you, too!
