My Daily Routine
My Daily Routine
I have lunch at 12. I eat a baguette or sandwich at the local café. I sometimes do some shopping
before I walk back to school. I do some photocopying and go back to my classroom. I teach in
the afternoon from 1 to 3pm. I then catch the bus back home and spend a couple of hours
relaxing before I cook dinner.
My son goes to work shortly after I come home. Sometimes he cooks dinner before I get home,
and sometimes I cook. I like to eat rice or pasta with a sauce. I chop the onions, fry them and
then mix them with garlic, tomatoes, carrots, spinach and chilies. I boil the rice and then add the
sauce. After dinner I wash up, sweep the floor, and tidy up a bit.
Then I make phone calls, mark my students’ work, do the laundry. Then I go on Facebook, or
watch TV until about 10.30 when my son comes home. We catch up on our day, and at about 11
o’clock I go to bed.
From Monday to Friday, my day starts very early. I always get up at 6:30 and I have a 20-
minute shower. Then, I get dressed and comb my hair. At 07:00 a.m I have breakfast, I usually
have coffee and cereal. After that, I put on my make up and go to work.
At 10:00 a.m., I sometimes have a snack and at 12:00 I usually have lunch at the office with my
colleagues. They are wonderful people who have a good sense of humor, and they are good
friends too. At 3:30 I have a snack again, I usually have some tea and biscuits.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I go to the gym after work. When I get home, I have a
shower again, I prepare dinner and I watch TV for a while. I like to go to bed as soon as
possible, around 9:30.
Thursday is different because I don't go to the gym. I go out with my boyfriend every Thursday.
We sometimes go to the cinema or we go out for dinner and to have a drink.
I usually get up at about 6:00 or 6:30 in the morning, after my alarm clock wakes me up. First, I
brush my teeth and shave and wash my face. Then, I get dressed and go downstairs to have
breakfast with my family. I always have coffee, cereal, and lots of fruit. That’s me in the
picture with my wife. I take a bus to work because I don’t like to drive, and I always arrive at
my office before 8:00. I’m never late for work. Five o’clock is my favorite time of the day
because I finish work and go back home and see my wife and children again. I have two boys,
Thomas, who is six years old and Patrick, who is eight. We eat dinner together in our dining
room at around 6:00, and after that I hang out with my wife and kids at home. We really enjoy
watching our favorite TV programs together. We like to watch shows about travel. However,
two or three times a week I do exercise in the evening, so I can stay strong and healthy. I think
that this is very important! Finally, at about 9:30, I go to bed, read for a while, and then fall
asleep.
On weekdays (from Monday to Friday), I wake up at twenty past seven, but I get up at half past.
I have a shower, and then I have breakfast. I usually have a white coffee and toast for breakfast,
but some days I have biscuits or cookies! (People in the USA say "cookies" and people in the
UK say "biscuits".) After breakfast I get dressed and I go to work at quarter past eight. I walk to
the train station. That's about ten minutes. I get the train at 8.30 and I get to Atocha train station
at ten to nine, and then I walk to my office.
I start work at nine. I work from nine to two, and from three to six in the afternoon. I have lunch
in my office. I often have a sandwich and a piece of fruit. Sometimes I have a chocolate bar,
too! After work, I go shopping for food and things for the house. I get home before half past
seven. I rest a bit, and then I do some housework. At about nine I cook dinner for my family and
me. We usually have dinner at half past nine. After that, we watch TV or I read a book. I usually
go to sleep in front of the TV set or the book! I'm very tired!
I go to bed at midnight.
At the weekend, my day is much better! I sleep more and I relax. Sometimes I go out for a drink
with friends or my family and I go out for a meal. Once a month w ego on a day trip to the
countryside or the mountain. We need to breathe fresh air! Sometimes I stay home, and I listen
to music, or watch films or movies with my family. I also like drawing and dancing! Sometimes
I go dancing with my friends. It's fun! On Sunday evening I usually read a bit, novels!
