A sample Filipino (Tagalog) passage - Intermediate (B1)
Tuwing araw ng trabaho, halos pareho lang ang ginagawa ni Marco kapag umaga. Tumutunog ang kanyang orasan nang alas-singko, ngunit hindi siya agad bumabangon. Sa halip, nakahiga muna siya nang ilang minuto at nakikinig sa mga ibon sa labas. Pagkatapos, gumagawa siya ng mainit na kape at iniinom ito habang nakatayo sa bintana. Sinasabi niya na ito ang tahimik na sandali na pinakagusto niya sa buong umaga. Pagkatapos noon, nagmamadali na ang lahat. Naliligo siya nang mabilis, kumakain ng kaunting tinapay, at umaalis bago mag-alas-sais y media. Mga labinlimang minuto ang lakad papunta sa istasyon kung maganda ang trapiko. Sa plataporma, binabasa niya ang balita sa kanyang telepono hanggang dumating ang tren. Sinubukan niyang gumising nang mas maaga para mas kalmado ang umaga, ngunit lagi niyang pinipindot ang orasan para makatulog pa. Natatawa ang kanyang asawa at sinasabing ang mga ibon lang ang tanging tinig na nakakabangon sa kanya.
What does Marco do right after his alarm goes off at five?
AHe takes a quick shower before eating bread
