Examiner: Please tell me your name and today's date,
Me: Okay. I'm Desperate Beagle (my real name), and today is Saturday, the twenty-eighth of July, two thousand and twelve.
(Which is better, to say, "I'm DB, and it's Saturday, the twenty-eighth of July, two thousand and twelve today?)
Examiner: Please tell me what you are going to do tomorrow.
Me: Tomorrow is Sunday, a day off, so I will sleep well tonight and wake up late. Then I'll eat a late breakfast or have brunch. I don't have any particular plan now, but your question made me think about it. Well, let me see, I might go a movie theater, if"Dark knight rises" is playing now. I will wear a bulletproof jacket. Oh, I have to buy one beforehand. But I don't know where to buy such goods at all. Maybe I will be able to find where I can buy one of those on the web.

"Note" usually means 「注文する」. It can be used for 「記す」 or 「書き取る」, but it would not be used to ask you to say something aloud.

Both are possible-- I think "... today is..." is more natural.
Me: Tomorrow is Sunday, a day off, so I will sleep well (tonight) and wake up late. [Alternative: "Tomorrow is Sunday, and I have the day off, so..."]
Since sleeping comes before waking up, it is more natural to put it first in the sentence.
Then I'll eat a late breakfast or a brunch.
"Take [a meal]" is not entirely wrong, but it is much less common than the Japanese people at this website seem to think.
I don't have any particular plan(s) now, but your question made me think about it.
Well, let me see, I might go to a movie theater, if "The Dark Knight Rises" is playing now.
I will wear a bulletproof jacket.
I ate breakfast this morning.
I ate breakfast late this morning. ("Late" is an adverb in this sentence, modifying the verb "ate".)
I ate a late breakfast this morning. ("Late" is an adjective in this sentence. This sentence is less common than the one above, but it is also natural.)
I ate breakfast in the late morning. ("Late" is an adjective in this sentence, but it modifies "morning", not "breakfast".)
Me: Tomorrow is Sunday, a day off, so I will wake up late and have a good sleep.
Then I'll eat a late breakfast or have brunch.
I don't have any particular plans for now, but your question made me think about it.
Well, let me see, I might be going to go a movie theater, if they play "Dark knight rises" now.
But I don't know where to buy such a goods at all.

"it's" is very casual. In a speaking test, I'd go with "today is"
I didn't know that "it's..."version is casual.
And I too sometimes go to a movie theater alone, especially when I want to concentrate on the movie, which I'm looking forward to seeing.
