It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. \'What a day!\' I thought. \'It\'s raining again.\' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. \'I\'ve just arrived by train,\' she said. \'I\'m coming to see you.\'
\'But I\'m still having breakfast,\' I said.
\'What are you doing?\' she asked.
\'I\'m having breakfast,\' I repeated.
\'Dear me,\' she said. \'Do you always get up so late? It\'s one o\'clock!\'

Notes on the text 课文注释
1. on Sundays,指每个星期日。星期几的前面用介词on。
2. What a day! 多么糟糕的天气!这是一个省略的感叹句。完整的句子应该是What a day it is! 英语中的感叹句常用what开头,后面紧跟一个名词或名词性短语(包括连系动词),然后是主语和谓语,句尾用感叹号。
3. I\'m coming to see you. 在这句话中现在进行时用来表示近期按计划或安排要进行的动作。
