Remember the key words from last time in GREEN:

• Zăoshang – early morning
• Shàngwŭ – morning
• Zhōngwŭ – noon
• Xiàwŭ – afternoon
• Wănshang – evening

New phrases in ORANGE:

• Qĭchuáng (get up)
• Chī Zăofàn (have breakfast)
• Gōngzuò (work)
  
• Chī Wŭfàn (have lunch)
  
• Huí jiā (go home)
  
• Chī Wănfàn (have dinner)
  
• Shuìjiào (go to bed)

Try to spot the numbers we learned and times of the day in these sentences:

• Wŏ zăoshang liù diǎn qĭchuáng. (I get up at 6 in the morning).
  
• Wŏ zăoshang qī diǎn chī zăofàn. (I have the breakfast at 7 in the morning).
• Wŏ shàngwŭ jiǔ diǎn gōngzuò. (I go to work at 9 in the morning).
• Wŏ zhōngwŭ shí’èr diǎn chī wŭfàn. (I have the lunch at 12).
