My daily routine

How does you typical day look like?

What do you do every morning/ afternoon / evening?

Tell what you do at various times throughout the day.

My typical day starts when I usually get up about half past six and go to bathroom. There I wash my teeth and wash face. After that I go to the kitchen to eat breakfast. I always go to the bus stop at seven o?clock. When I go to school I stay there until half past two(sometimes I stay at school longer). After school I go home and have dinner .After dinner I often learn and do my homework. After homework I do different housework for example: very often I go to the shop, do hovering or cleaning. Then I play computer games, surf the Internet or I play in games on my mobile, read a book or watch television. Usually these actions don?t take me lots of time. In the evening I and my parents always sit to the meal. After meal I have a bath, wash my teeth and go to the bed. This is my typical, usual day.

What are some of the daily activities that you do at home?

I wake up at 7am every morning.
I press the snooze button five times every morning before I turn off the alarm and get up.
I have a cup of coffee and make breakfast. I usuallyread the newspaper while I have breakfast. My children like to have a shower after they have breakfast but I like to have a shower before I get dressed.
My wife brushes her long hair, and I have short hair so I comb my hair. How do you do your hair in the morning?
It is important to brush your teeth, and some women like to put make-up on.
After I have finished work, I go home to cook dinner. In my house I usually make dinner. The family eat dinner together at 7:30pm.
After dinner I make sure that my children do their homework, and then I chill out on the sofa andwatch television.
On television I usually watch the News. My wife usually comes to tell me to take the rubbish out, orwash the dishes.
Our children feed the dog and the cat before they go to bed and I tell them to go to the bathroomtoo.
If I am sick I have to take my medication, but then I get into my pyjamas and set the alarm so I wake up in the morning.
The last things I do is lock the door, turn off the lights, and go to bed.

 

What are some other daily activities that you do?

I exercise at least three times a week.
I usually go to the gym before work, but sometimes I go after work.
I meditate every morning so that I feel less stressed during the day.

Duties

What do you have to do at home?

What do usually mothers/fathers/girls/boys do at home?

This is my last year at school, and I work hard to pass my final exams successfully. As I am very busy, I can’t help my parents much in keeping the house. But still I have some household duties.

Every day I do my room, wash up, dust the furniture and usually go to the baker’s after I have dinner. I buy some brown and white bread, biscuits and cakes the The shop is not far from our house and it doesn’t take me long to do everyday shopping.

Once a v/eek I help my mother to do all other work about the house. We wash our linen, iron and mend it, clean the flat. We beat the dust out of the carpets, vacuum the floors and polish them. It’s not difficult to keep the flat tidy if you do your rooms regularly. This is my usual round of duties.
