Dear Francesca,
Thank you for your letter about the times you do things in Italy. In Britain, we get up at seven or eight o’clock in the morning. We have breakfast at eight o’clock and then we go to work. We work from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon and then we go home. We have dinner at six or seven o’clock in the evening, and we usually go to bed at eleven o’clock at midnight.
Best wishes, James
