How to do this task
• It is best to think about what you do every day in a logical sequence.
Don’t jump from one part of the day to the next as it is confusing to
the listener — and for you.
• You can divide the days into sections — the sections could be:
• Morning
• Noon
• Afternoon
• Evening
• Night
Think of the activities you do during each part of
the day: morning
Wake up Brush teeth Wash face/shower Get dressed

Say good morning to Read the news/catch up


Eat breakfast Drink tea/coffee
family/wife/roommates with the news

Leave the house


EXAMPLE (PART 1)
I usually wake up around seven. My alarm goes off and I turn it off and
sleep for another ten minutes. Then the alarm goes off a second time
and I have to get up. I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth and
wash my face. I don’t shower in the morning as I usually take a shower
in the evening before I go to bed.
Then I go back to my bedroom and get dressed. I leave my uniform
hanging in front of my wardrobe so I can put my clothes on easily every
day.
Then I fall in line for the hoisting of the flag.
EXAMPLE (PART 2)
After that, I go to the mess hall and have breakfast.
I usually have something simple like an egg and some bread. I don’t like
to drink coffee so I have some orange juice.
I chat with my partners during breakfast, but most of them don´t talk
too much and they prefer to catch up on the news on their phones.
My school is where I live so I always walk to class. My first class starts
at 8.10. I have class until 14.30. Then, I go again to the mess hall for
lunch.
Now it´s your turn!
Afternoon
• Afternoons at work or school could be almost the same as the mornings.
But if your schedule has any differences then, of course, you should talk
about that.
• For those of you that have a near-identical schedule to the morning, it may
be a little difficult to talk about. You can’t just say something simple like —
same as the morning. You have to try to find something different in it.
• These phrases might be useful:
• Last class ends at…
• I finish work at…
• Feel a little tired in the afternoon…
• Have a snack around three pm…
• I stare at the clock…
EXAMPLE
• The first class in the afternoon begins at 3:30pm. By this time, most of
the students feel kind of tired.
• I am glad that I usually have PE class in the morning — I have more
energy then and I look forward to it. So in the afternoon, I just sit in
the class. I stare at the clock and wait for the day to end.
• It gets to 5.30 and the last bell rings. We all grab our bags and leave
the classroom.
Evening

So now the day has ended and you have some


time to yourself. You finish work and you can
just relax and do all the things you like to do.
Unless you’re a student — in which case you may
have tons of homework to do and articles to
read.
What do you like to do in the evening?
Even if you are just sitting on the sofa and
watching TV, you can talk about what shows you
like to watch. Do you watch them alone or with
your family or loved ones?
EXAMPLE (ex – highlight all time expressions)
I get home and I change out of my uniform and into some comfortable clothes.
The first thing I do after that is to get a drink of something. My mum usually keeps some of the
things I like to drink in the fridge.
Then I take out all my school books and the homework I have to do for that evening. I usually have
about two hours of homework to do most evenings. It seems like a lot but I am used to it now.
I put it all in order. I like to do the most difficult homework first, or the homework that I really hate to
do. Then I end up with the homework I really like to do last. I like English so I always put that last.
I might do a little bit of the homework and then my mum will call me for dinner.
My dad doesn’t get home until much later. So me and my mum eat dinner together. She lets me
watch some TV while we are eating dinner but then I have to get back into my room and finish the
homework.
I finish my homework and then I just feel really tired.
By then I just want to sleep. But I take a shower and have a hot drink of something.
I get into bed around 10:30 and read for a little while. Then my eyes start feeling heavy and I turn
the bedside lamp off and go to sleep.
Now it´s your turn!
