Daily life
My daily routine starts pretty early, at 6 a.m. I get up
and go outside to do some exercise or ride a bike. When
I finish I go home, have a shower and get dressed. My
clothes and my bag are always ready from the night
before.
Then I generally make a cup of coffee, check my e-mail
inbox and have a look at the news in the Internet. I eat
my breakfast. Sometimes I oversleep and if so – I skip
my breakfast and rush to the university. I leave my
home at half past 8, take a bus and normally get to the
university at 8.50 as there are no traffic jams on my
way.The lectures start at 9 in the morning, so I have
some time to talk to my fellow-students. I like the
atmosphere at my college: the teachers are cool and I
meet my friends there. We go for lunch to our
university canteen at 2 o’clock. I usually finish my
studies at about 4 p.m. Though sometimes we need to
stay late to do some laboratory research or work in the
library. Then I go home, make myself some dinner,
switch my laptop on and surf the net. I do my
homework if I didn’t manage to do that during my free
periods at the university. I also try to read for a bit
every evening. I go to bed at about midnight. That’s my
typical day. The best part of my day is the evening
when I eat my dinner, watch TV, play computer games
or go out with my friends, watch football at a sports bar
and just relax after a busy day. That’s my favourite time
of the day.
Are you a student and want to become more
productive? Are you unable to figure out the ideal time
to study in the evening or how to maximize the benefits
of the morning schedule? Are you having difficulty
getting stuck into a particular daily routine? The daily
routine of a student varies on their students, but many
of the successful students share the same routines and
habits for their daily lives. It is widely believed that if
you work hard and struggle, you’ll be able to pass the
test. But the truth is that it is not so. While the majority
of people who hold positions at college, school, or
university get an excellent score and are able to pass the
test even though they have excellent marks. When they
graduate what really counts most is their understanding
and ability to function inside the systems. A regular,
healthy routine for students can help them in achieving
their educational aims and objectives quickly. This is
due to the fact that sleeping can hinder concentration
and memory when contrasted to the daily routine. We
will provide routines for students daily and assist you
create the routine of your kid. A routine of activities
every day will ensure to keep your child in line and
prevent intrusions. It is essential to establish a healthy,
regular routine for students in order to keep chronic and
acute diseases at bay and avoid visiting the doctor. The
daily routine of a good student must be balanced with
healthy goals and academic ones that consist of a range
of activities and tasks which are carried out in a similar
sequence during the day.
Events in progress in the past
We use the past continuous to talk about events and
temporary states that were in progress around a certain
time in the past. We use the past simple to talk about
events, states or habits at definite times in the past.
Compare
The past continuous
emphasises the action or
event in progress around a
At 4 pm last Tuesday, time in the past. The event
I was working in the (working) was in progress at
office. 4 pm.
The event was not
completed at that time.

The past simple emphasises

the event that happened at a
definite time in the past.
At 4 pm last Monday, The focus is not on events in
I finished work early progress but rather on the
and went home. whole events (finished work,
went home).
The events were completed
at that time.

Emphasising main events with the past simple

When one event is more important than the other in the
past, we can use the past simple to emphasise the main
event. We can use the past continuous for the
background event (the less important one):
[background event]I was listening to the
radio when [main event]Helen phoned.
[background event]I was sitting in the park and
suddenly [main event]I saw an old school friend I
hadn’t seen for 30 years.
Grammar explanation
The past continuous and the past simple help us to
show how two past actions or situations are connected.
Past simple
The past simple shows us that an action was in the past,
not in the present. Regular past simple verbs have -ed at
the end (e.g. called, played, arrived). Irregular verbs
have a different form, usually with a different vowel
sound (e.g. wake → woke, break → broke, feel → felt).
My parents called me yesterday.
I woke up early this morning.
Sam played basketball when he was at university.
 We make the negative with didn't and the infinitive
verb.
My parents didn't call me yesterday.
I didn't wake up early this morning.
We make the question form with did and then the
subject and infinitive verb.
Did you wake up early this morning?
Did Sam play basketball when he was at university?

Past continuous
The past continuous shows us that the action was
already in progress at a certain time in the past.

What were you doing at 8 p.m. last night? I was

studying.

This means that I started studying before 8 p.m. and I

continued after 8 p.m.
The past continuous can also show that an activity was
in progress for some time, not just for a moment.
We were cleaning the house all morning.
Past continuous and past simple
When we use these two tenses together, it shows us that
the past simple action happened in the middle of the
past continuous action, while it was in progress.
While I was studying, I suddenly felt sleepy.

We often use these tenses to show an action

interrupting another action.

I broke my leg when I was skiing.

As I was going to work, I saw an old friend.
We were watching television when the power went off.

Can you see a difference in the meaning of these two

sentences?

When the guests arrived, Jane was cooking dinner.

When the guests arrived, Jane cooked dinner.

In the first one, Jane started cooking dinner before the

guests arrived. We know that because it uses the past
continuous. In the second sentence, the guests arrived
first and then Jane started cooking.
