ESL Conversation about Everyday Routines

Every morning I wake up at 6am. I get up at 6:10. I brush my teeth.

Then I go to the kitchen and I have my morning coffee.

I make breakfast. I usually have a boiled egg and some toast. On the weekend I have bacon and eggs.

I usually read the news while eating breakfast. After I finish breakfast, I wash the dishes.

Then I take a shower. I shave and I do my hair.

I leave the house at 7:30. I usually take the train to work. It takes about 40 minutes.

Occasionally, I drive to work, but I really dislike traffic.

I arrive to work at around 8:10. I have lunch with my co-workers. We often go to a small family restaurant.

It’s really close to our office. It’s very reasonable and it has great food.

I usually finish work at 6:00, but sometimes I have to work overtime.

I often go to the gym on my way home from work. I work out for about an hour.

I arrive home at about 8:00. I cook dinner. I usually listen to music while eating dinner.

After dinner I clean up. Then I read for about an hour on the sofa.

I watch TV for about 30 minutes to an hour. Then I take a hot bath. I drink a cup of tea.

And I go to bed around 11:00.
