Daily Routines

🎯 What you’ll practise

Listen carefully as a teenager talks about his daily routine, and notice the new words — and the Present Simple — he uses.

📌 What to do

Watch the video of Alex talking about his daily routine. Questions pop up as you watch — answer them as you go. You can pause or replay any time.

✍️ What to do

This week we’re learning to talk about our daily routines. Write a short paragraph to tell your classmates about your day. You should include:

• at least 5–6 sentences about your daily routine
• time expressions (e.g. at 7:00, after lunch, in the evening)
• at least two frequency adverbs (e.g. always, usually, sometimes, never)
• then reply to at least two classmates — ask a question or say something you have in common

💬 Example

Hi everyone! I usually wake up at 6:30 a.m. and eat breakfast at 7:00. I always go to school by bus. After school, I do my homework at 5:00 p.m. I sometimes play football with my friends in the park. In the evening, I eat dinner and then go to bed at 9:30 p.m.

🤝 Reply to a friend

If you’re studying with a friend, read their paragraph and reply to it — say something nice or ask a question. This sentence can help: “That sounds fun! What do you do in the (morning / break time / etc.)?”

Read about Sophia's morning routine, then answer the questions.

📖 Read

Hi! My name is Sophia, and I live in Chicago, America. On weekdays, I wake up at 6:45. I brush my teeth and wash my face. Then, I eat breakfast with my brother. We usually have cereal and orange juice.

At 7:30, I get dressed and pack my school bag. I leave the house at eight, and walk to school. It takes me about 10 minutes. My first class starts at 8:30. I like Mondays because we have Art and English.
