Every morning, I get up 0 at 7:30 and I have breakfast. I 1 have coffee and toast for

breakfast, 2 sometimes I don't eat breakfast 3 I don't have time. After

breakfast, I have a shower and I get dressed. 4 , I walk to school.


I have lessons 5 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. At 12:30, we have a break for

lunch. 6 I finish school, I go home 7 I play video games or watch some

YouTube.

8 the evening, I go to football practice. I train for one hour. Then, I go back home and I

do some homework before dinner. 9 , I have dinner with my parents, and we watch

TV. 10 After , I go to bed.

First, you need to think about your daily activities. You can make a list of everyday activities:

 wake up/get up
 brush my teeth
 have/eat breakfast (or ‘have something FOR breakfast’)
 have a shower
 get dressed
 go to work/school
 get to work/school
 check my emails
 check my social media
 work ON my computer
 have lessons
 have/eat lunch
 finish work
 go home
 get home
 walk my dog
 do my homework
 surf the internet
 go running
 go to the gym
 have/eat dinner
 read
 watch TV
 go to bed
Use adverbs of frequency

If we use some adverbs of frequency in our sentences, our text will be better. For example, I
usually have coffee and toast for breakfast, but sometimes I don’t have breakfast.

Use connectors and time expressions

Connectors

Now we should add connectors in our text, such as and, or, but, because, so.
For example, imagine we have these two sentences: I get up at 7.30. I brush my teeth. They sound
like a list. So we can use and to put the two sentences together: I get up at 7:30 and I brush my
teeth.

Time expressions

In addition, you should use time words to connect the different sentences. Some time words
are:

 After that, …
 After breakfast/work/school/dinner
 In the morning/afternoon/evening, …
 At (time), …
 Then, …
 Next, …
 … and then …
 When I …
 … from (time) to (time)

Look at this text:

I get up at 7:30 and I brush my teeth. I have a shower and get dressed. I have breakfast and prepare my
lunch. I drive to work.

Now look at the same text with time expressions:

I get up at 7:00 and I brush my teeth. After that, I have a shower and get dressed. Then, I have breakfast
and I prepare my lunch. Next, I drive to work.
Write three paragraphs

We can organise the sentences into three paragraphs:

 Paragraph 1: My morning activities


 Paragraph 2: Activities during the day
 Paragraph 3: Evening activities

Example:

I get up at 7:00 and I brush my teeth. After that, I have a shower and get dressed. Then, I have
breakfast and I prepare my lunch. Next, I drive to work.

When I get to work at 8:30, I usually check my emails and work on the computer. At 1:00, I have
lunch with my co-workers. After that, we work until 5:30 and then I go home. I get home at
around 6.

After work, I usually go running or I read. Then I make my lunch. I usually have a salad and
some fruit, but on Fridays, I often eat pizza. Next, I watch some TV and I go to bed.
