Let me begin with my morning routine

SCHOOL
Students do many things at school like attending classes, giving presentations, writing tests, completing
assignments, eating meals, participating in extracurricular activities, and socializing with friends. This is the
same for me.

I usually go to bed at 11 p.m. or sometimes at midnight. I usually need 9 or 10 hours of sleep.
 WEEKENDS

There are some differences and similarities in my daily programme on weekdays and at weekends. I usually
get up late at weekends. We don’t have to go to school and we have more free time, but then I usually study
too.
At the weekend I help a little bit more because I have more time. At the weekend I wake up at 9 or 10
o’clock. I go to do the weekly shopping with my mother and my brother. On Saturdays I don’t learn, I relax, or
go for a walk. On Sundays I learn a bit.

I always stay at home on Saturdays and Sundays. I don’t like going to clubs or house parties. I spend my
whole weekend with my family.

SUMMER HOLIDAY

My daily routine is going to change during my summer holiday. For example I don’t get up early, I don’t
study, there is more free time.
