Last night Rocio and Rodolfo, her boyfriend, had dinner with Mark and Anita Smith. They are an American couple from Houston. She was happy because Mrs. Smith spoke English to her all the time and she understood almost everything. They had a wonderful time, but she ate too much and drank red wine. (Red wine usually gives her a headache) She got home at 2:30 in the morning and immediately went to bed. She forgot to set the alarm clock.
It was 9 o´clock when the telephone rang!
Rocio woke up and answered it. It was her boss. She had an appointment with him and some clients at 9, and she was still in bed.
She felt terrible; she had a headache and she was very tired.
She took a quick shower and left home 15 minutes later. She didn´t have time for breakfast, but she wasn´t hungry anyway. She bought an Alka-Seltzer on her way to the office.
Although she was late, she drove slowly and carefully because there was a lot of traffic.
