Always late

Ben is keen to practise and improve his French. He links up online with Ulysse in Marseille and follows his early morning routine. Ben finds out that Ulysse is often late for school. We meet Ulysse when he is still asleep in bed. He has forgotten that he has arranged to have a breakfast chat with Ben. Ulysse has overslept. He should have woken up at 7. It is already 7.30. We then watch Ulysse as he eats breakfast, brushes his teeth and gets dressed. He takes far too long to get ready and is easily distracted. Ben takes the opportunity to practise telling the time in French. Most days Ulysse catches the bus at a quarter to eight. School starts at 8. 15. But it is now already 8.30. Ulysse has missed the bus and is already late for school. He jumps on his bike and cycles as fast as he can.
