Daily Routines

My name is Kate. I live in Singapore with my family. Almost every day I do the same routines.

Some people may think that I have a boring daily routine, but I enjoy it. I like to be a housewife

and a career woman. I usually get up at about 5:00 in the morning. First, I brush my teeth and

wash my face. Then, I go downstairs to the kitchen to make breakfast for my family. I always

have a cup of coffee and bread for breakfast. Then, I usually prepare cereal, fruit, and milk for

my husband and my kids. I always prepare lunch boxes for all of us too. After having breakfast, I

have a shower and get dressed. My husband takes our kids to school by car. I take a train to

work because I don’t like driving, and I always arrive at my office before 8:00. I’m never late to

work. I usually finish my work at 4:00 in the evening.

I have a son and a daughter, Loren, who is 10 years old and Laura, who is 7 years old. We

usually eat dinner together in our dining room at about 6:00, and after that I help my kids doing

their homework. Then, we enjoy our family time together. We watch our favorite TV programs

about food and travel or we have some conversation about our day. Once a week, I have
