Let’s go step by step through Sam’s routine to answer each question correctly.

---

Question 1: What time does Sam get up?

From the text:
> “Every day he gets up at 1 in the afternoon.”

So, Sam gets up at 1 p.m.

Answer for Q1: 1 in the afternoon (or 1 p.m.)

---

Question 2: Does he brush his teeth or wash his face?

From the text:
> “He never brushes his teeth or washes his face.”

So, the answer is no — he does neither.

Answer for Q2: No, he never brushes his teeth or washes his face.

Question 3: What does he eat during the day?

Let’s list everything mentioned:

- Breakfast: soda and crisps
- While watching TV: 5 hot dogs and a lot of ice cream (for dessert)
- At night: candies and chocolates

Also note: He never drinks water.

So, during the day (and into night), he eats:
→ Soda, crisps, hot dogs, ice cream, candies, chocolates

Answer for Q3: Soda, crisps, 5 hot dogs, ice cream, candies, and chocolates.

*(Note: The question says “during the day” — but since his schedule runs from 1 p.m. to 7 a.m., we include all food he consumes in that cycle.)*

---

Question 4: Does he do exercise or play any sport?

Looking at the text:

- He sits on the couch watching TV
- Plays video games
- Watches more TV at night
- No mention of walking, running, sports, gym, etc.

So, no, he does not do exercise or play any sport.

Answer for Q4: No, he does not do exercise or play any sport.

---

Question 5: What activities does he do during the day?

Again, “during the day” here means his active hours (from 1 p.m. to 7 a.m.).

Activities listed:

- Gets up at 1 p.m.
- Goes to kitchen → has breakfast
- Sits on couch → watches TV for 4 hours + eats hot dogs and ice cream
- Plays video games for hours
- At night → watches TV again + eats candies/chocolates
- Goes to sleep at 7 a.m.

So, main activities:
→ Eating junk food, watching TV, playing video games, sleeping

Answer for Q5: He watches TV, plays video games, eats junk food, and sleeps.

---

Question 6: What time does he go to sleep?

From the text:
> “...he goes to sleep at 7 a.m.”

Answer for Q6: 7 a.m.

---

Now let’s double-check all answers against the original text to make sure nothing was missed or misread.

Text summary:
- Up at 1 p.m.
- No brushing/washing
- Breakfast: soda + crisps
- Couch: 4 hrs TV + 5 hot dogs + ice cream
- Video games for hours
- Night: TV + candies/chocolates
- Sleep at 7 a.m.
- Sleeps 6 hours daily → so wakes at 1 p.m. again (7 a.m. + 6 hrs = 1 p.m. — checks out!)

All answers match.
