• ==drive me nuts==
• I sometimes wake up before the alarm ==goes off==.
• I don’t jump out of bed ready to take on the world.

Translation

• Original The worst part of the day for me is definitely when I have to get up. Waking up, that I can handle. But getting up? That, I hate. The covers I have on my bed are heavy, mostly because I have a comforter as well as a light blanket. I sleep with two pillows, which for some reason have different color pillowcases. Well, at least the sheets match.I sometimes wake up before the alarm ==goes off==. I like to keep the alarm at a low volume, with some classical music, nothing too ==jarring. My old roommate used to like the terrible buzzer that you find on most alarm clocks nowadays, which always used to drive me nuts. As I was saying, I sometimes wake up before the alarm==, usually because of some noise outside the house—a car door slamming, an alarm going off, gunfire—well, okay, not gunfire, but man, is my neighborhood noisy! Of course, when I’m staying in a hotel, it’s usually easier to just get a wake up call from the hotel than set the alarm.
  I’m not really an early riser, so I don’t jump out of bed ready to take on the world. I get up very slowly, usually one foot on the floor at a time. Every once in awhile I’ll oversleep, but not too often. I really love the weekends, when I can sleep in.

• Chinese 一天中最糟糕的部分绝对是我得起床的时候。醒来，我还能接受，但起床？我真讨厌。我的床上盖的被子很重，主要是因为我有一条舒适的被子和一条轻便的毯子。我睡觉时有两个枕头，不知道为什么，它们的枕套颜色不同。好吧，至少床单是配套的。 我有时会在闹钟响之前醒来。我喜欢把闹钟的音量调低，放点古典音乐，不会太刺耳。我以前的室友喜欢那种现在大多数闹钟都有的吵闹蜂鸣声，这总是让我受不了。正如我所说，我有时会在闹钟响之前醒来，通常是因为外面有一些声音——比如车门砰的一声关上，或者闹钟响了，或者枪声——好吧，枪声倒是没有，不过我住的社区真是吵！当然，当我住酒店时，通常设置酒店的叫醒服务比自己设闹钟要简单。 我不是个早起的人，所以我不会一跳起来就准备迎接新的一天。我起床很慢，通常是先把一只脚从床上放下来。有时候我会睡过头，但不太常见。我真的很喜欢周末，这时候我可以睡懒觉。

Retell

• First 2026-04-01 12:27 The worst part of day is getting up in morning. Waking up is not a big deal, but getting up is stressful for me. I usually move one leg, then the other. Sometimes, I woke up before my alarm goes off. The covers on my bed are heavy, but the comforter is light. There are two pillow on my bed, but for some reasons there are two different color pillowcases. Just like I was saying I woke up before my alarm goes off sometimes, because it is noise outside, sometimes is my neighbor shouting. I like weekends that I can sleep in.

  Retell review: 2. Getting Up - Review Key Takeaways:

  • Keep this retell in the present tense because the episode describes your usual morning routine.
  • Use full noun frames: the worst part of the day, in the morning, two pillows, and for some reason.
  • If you forget an example, use safe wording like some noise outside instead of inventing a new detail.
  • Try to reuse strong episode chunks like the alarm goes off, jump out of bed, and sleep in.
