Sample answer
I want to talk about a normal day for me. In the morning, I get up at seven. I take a shower, and I have breakfast. I usually eat bread and drink coffee. Then I go to work by bus. In the afternoon, I work in an office. I have lunch at one o'clock with my friends. We eat in a small restaurant near the office. In the evening, I go home and cook dinner. After dinner, I watch TV or call my family. I go to bed at eleven o'clock. My favourite part of the day is the evening, because I can relax and I am not busy. I like to sit on the sofa and listen to music. It is a simple day, but I am happy.
Is it good to have a daily routine?
Yes, I think it is good. A routine helps me feel calm. I know what I must do, so I do not forget things.
Do you do the same things every day?
On work days, yes. I do the same things. But on weekends, my days are different. I see friends and I go out.
What do you want to change in your routine?
I want to do more sport. I sit a lot at work, so I want to walk more and go to the gym in the morning.
