CONVERSATIO
N MY DAILY ROUTINE
My name is Julia, and I am 27 years old. I live in London but I am German. I live with my
boyfriend and we are very happy. I work in a bank and I love my job.
From Monday to Friday, my day starts very early. I always get up at 6:30 and I take a
shower. Then, I get dressed and comb my hair. At 07:00 a.m I have breakfast, I usually
have coffee and cereal. After that I go to work.
At 10:00 a.m., I sometimes have a snack and at 12:00 I usually have lunch at the office with
my friends. They are wonderful people who have a good sense of humor. At 3:30 I have a
snack again, I usually have some tea and biscuits.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I go to the gym . When I get home, I take a shower
again, I prepare dinner and I watch TV. I like to go to bed as soon as possible, around 9:30.
Thursday is different because I don't go to the gym. I go out with my boyfriend every
Thursday. We sometimes go to the restaurant.
My boyfriend's name is Daniel, he is 31 years old, and he's an architect. He likes cooking but
he doesn't like cleaning the house so we share the housework.
His family is from Spain. He has two brothers and no sisters. We have been a couple for six
years. And we have been living together for two years.
On Friday night I always go out with my friends, we sometimes go to a bar but I can't be
home late because I have to get up early on Saturday to clean the house.
At the weekend, I always visit my parents and I often visit my grandparents, too.
