❖ TALKING ABOUT YOUR DAILY ROUTINE

Examples of someone talking about his/her morning routine.

Joe’s daily routine

Hello. My name is Joe, I’m 20 years old. I usually wake up around six-thirty. After I get
up, I go to the bathroom and wash my face. I don’t shower in the morning because I
usually do it in the evening before I go to bed. Then, I go back to my bedroom and get
dressed. After that, I go to the kitchen and have breakfast.

My mum usually makes breakfast — something simple like an egg and a piece of bread.
I don’t like to drink coffee, so I have some orange juice. I chat with my mum and dad
during breakfast. But my dad doesn’t talk too much. He likes to catch up on the news on
his phone. After breakfast, at around seven thirty, I leave to university. I say goodbye to
my mum and dad, give my mum a kiss and I leave the house.

Joanna’s daily routine.

Hi! My name is Joanna, I’m 24 and I live in Cochabamba. I usually wake up at 7 am,
but I get up only half an hour later. Then, I take a shower and get dressed. After that
I do my hair and makeup and then make my bed. I hate making my bed, but I like the
feeling of completing that first task right after waking up. I don’t really have breakfast,
but I always drink (have) a cup of coffee before I leave home. Then I wait for the bus
to take me to university. While I’m on the bus, I check my WhatsApp.

What do you like to do in your free time?

and difficult to learn. Whenever I have free time, I take my bike to meet my friends on
a mountain biking trail near my home.

Yoga
I’m currently training to become a yoga instructor, and I really love yoga. So, I spend
most of my free time practicing yoga, trying to improve my skills and knowledge.

Movies and Novels

In my free time, I like watching movies at the cinema, reading classical novels, and
talking to my friends about movies, books, and our lives in general.

Browsing social media

To be honest, I spend a lot of my free time browsing social media. I spend about two
hours a day on social media, talking to friends on Facebook and watching TikTok
videos.

Traveling
I’m a huge fan of traveling, so I try to spend my free time visiting new places. I visit
other towns in my own country and sometimes I travel abroad as well. This year I’ve
been to Chile and Argentina.
