This is Gale’s daily routine

I’m Gale Williams, I’m an English teacher

and I have a big family, so I have a very
busy daily routine!
I get up at six o’clock in the morning
every day. Before I have breakfast, I take
a shower and shave. After that, I prepare
kids for school.

I have three kids. Their names are

Mathew, John, and Suzie. My wife
cooks breakfast while I am helping them
to get dressed. When we are all sitting
on the table, we have breakfast together
and then we leave for school on my car.

When I arrive to school, I prepare my

lessons and then teach until it’s afternoon.
The other teachers and I always eat lunch
and talk together in the teachers’ room, so
we have a great relationship. On Fridays,
we usually eat at a restaurant close to
school and have some fun before going
home.

After I get back home, my wife and I help our kids with their homework. Then, I
do some exercise, eat dinner with my family and watch TV before I go to bed at
about ten o’clock. We love to watch travel shows. Finally, I read in bed for a few
minutes before I fall asleep.
Vocabulary:
