Section 4: Fill in the missing preposition of time
My Day
It was one of my usual days. I got up at 7 o'clock in the morning, washed, dressed and had breakfast at 7.30. Then I went to my office. There I worked with the documents till 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Then I had lunch at 1.30. After that I looked at my diary and saw that I had an important meeting with my companions at 3 p.m. in the cafe on Monday afternoon. I was short of time. I was in a hurry and forgot to take some important documents with me. I was forced to return to my office. As you could guess, I was late. It was awful! I came to the café at 20 minutes past 3. Luckily my companions were still there. I apologized for my being late and explained what had happened. Then we discussed some questions about the company. It was a hard day.
