Read about the daily routine of a student: Joanna’s morning routine

Here is one way to describe your daily routine using simple present tense:

Hi! My name is Joanna, I’m 24 and I live in Oslo, Norway. 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 have breakfast, but I always drink a cup of coffee. Then I
wait for the bus to take me to college. While I’m on the bus, I check my social
media and my emails.

Exercise: Brandon’s evening routine

Hi! My name is Brandon, I’m 36 and I live in San Francisco. I work as a


marketing director. I’m married and I have one son, Charlie, and two cats. I
usually finish work around 6 pm. Then, I go to the supermarket to buy
groceries. I get home around 7 pm and then I make dinner. My wife loves
pasta, so that’s something I make quite often. After having dinner, I wash the
dishes and my wife feeds our cats, Milk, and Honey. Then, I take a shower.
After that, I brush my teeth and put on my pajamas. I usually watch an
episode of my favorite sitcom before bed. Then, I check the locks of the house,
set my alarm clock, and put my phone away to charge. I tuck my son in and
then I go to bed. I fall asleep shortly after my wife turns off the lights.
