Juan’s Daily Activities.





My Daily Routine as Example!




I
 live in a kind of small apartment near the University. My parents are living in Pitalito for that reason I live alone. Now I am studying and working at the University.
I usually get up about 7:00 every morning. I do not have any alarm clock however I always wake up early. Then I choose the clothes I am going to wear. I take a shower and I comb my curly hair. By 7:45, I am ready to work. I go to the University by foot.
I usually arrive on time. I have to open the door of the English Laboratory at 8:00 am. My work starts at 8:00 and finishes at 12:00 o’clock. For breakfast, I usually have coffee and bread at University.
For lunch, I go to the restaurant near my apartment and I do not care about what I eat. I just ask for a lot of rice.
In the afternoon, I work from 2:00 to 6:00 pm. Then, I eat something in the cafeteria. My classes start at 6:30 and they finish at 10:30 pm. Then, I go back home and I talk by cellphone to my mother. Finally, I go to bed about 11:00 pm.

Another example of Dily Routine

My mother’s Daily Routine.

M

 y mother is living in Pitalito with my father and my older sister. She is working at a hamburger store that is called “El Corral”.

She usually gets up at 6:00 am. Then, she takes a shower about 6:30. For breakfast, she has light food.

She starts to work at 8:00 am and she goes to work by motorbike. Currently, she is learning to drive her bike.

Her shifts change all time. For that reason she sometimes arrives early at home but it is not always the same. When she finishes to work, she usually visits my grandmother. In the evening, she watches T.V. Then, she talks by cellphone to me about fifteen minutes. Then she goes to bed.
