Question

What is the difference between I get up around /about 9 o clock! When it comes to
talking  about time, do they the same thing? I am talking about around/about. Thanks!

Answer

A native would more often say "around", at least in American English. "I get up around 9 o'clock". You could also say "I get up AT about 9 o'clock" (make sure "at" is before about). In terms of meaning, they both communicate the same thing, that you are waking up at approximately 9 o'clock.
