Reading Text: My Morning Routine for a Healthy Start

I used to wake up late, skip breakfast, and rush to school feeling tired and stressed. But a few months ago, I decided to change my routine to feel healthier and more focused.

Now, I wake up at 6:30 every morning. The first thing I do is drink a big glass of water to rehydrate. Then, I stretch for ten minutes to wake up my body. After that, I prepare a healthy breakfast. My usual meal is oatmeal with fruit and a cup of green tea. Sometimes, I have scrambled eggs and whole-grain toast. I try to avoid sugary cereals because they don’t give me enough energy for the day.

Once I finish eating, I quickly check my school bag and prepare my lunch. I usually pack something simple like a sandwich, fruit, and a bottle of water. I try not to eat too many snacks during the day, but if I get hungry, I bring almonds or yoghurt.

This routine takes about an hour, but it really helps me feel calm and ready. Since I started this habit, I’ve had more energy at school and I don’t feel so rushed in the mornings. A healthy routine isn’t hard — it just takes a little planning and commitment.

Instructions:

Record yourself speaking for 1–2 minutes.
In your recording, answer the following questions in full sentences:

1. What do you usually eat in a typical day? (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
2. What do you do to stay healthy or active?
3. What is one healthy habit you want to improve or start?
4. Do you think your daily routine is balanced? Why or why not?

Language Support:

• I usually start my day with..
• For lunch, I often eat…
• To stay healthy, I…
• I think I should….
• My routine is healthy because…

Example Response:

A healthy day for me starts with a good breakfast. I usually eat oatmeal with banana and drink a glass of water. For lunch, I often have rice with vegetables and some chicken. I try to avoid fried food during the week.

To stay healthy, I go for a walk after dinner or do some stretching. I also drink water throughout the day and try not to eat too many snacks. I usually go to bed at 10:30 so I can get enough sleep.

One habit I want to improve is exercising more regularly. I sometimes skip workouts because of homework or because I feel tired. I think I should make a schedule and stick to it.

Overall, I think my daily routine is quite healthy. I eat balanced meals and try to stay active, but I know I can do better if I plan my time more carefully.
