Talking about my daily routines

I normmally do the same things every week but some days i do different things.

In the United Kingdom, Sunday is normally the first day on the calendar, so I am going to tell you what I normally do on Sundays first. For me, Sundays are for resting and relaxing. In the morning, I clear the living room, the kitchen and the bathroom. When I finished cleaning, I make lunch. I normally cook a lot of food because then i can eat it on Monday or Tuesday, for example, and that way I don’t have to cook every day. In the afternoon, I usually watch the Formula 1 race, but there aren’t races every week. Finally, in the evening, I prepare my classes for the week because I am a teacher. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are very similar for me, but Mondays are definitely the worst day of the week. I don’t like Mondays because I am very tired and because the feel very long. When I wake up on these days, I brush my teeth, I get dressed, i brush my hair, I have breakfast and then I go to work at 7:30 AM. I always have my lunch at work because then I don’t have to prepare it.

In the UK, people normally have breakfast in the morning after then wake up and they normally have some cereals and milk and a cup of coffee or a cup of tea. Then, at 12 o’clock or 1 o’clock they have their lunch, which is nornally a sandwich, a salad or something else that isquite small. I come home at 5 PM and after that I sometimes have extra English classes in the evenings. I normally have dinner and before I go to bed I play with my cat because she has got a lot of energy. If I don’t play with my cat, she doesn’t sleep at night, so this is an important thing for me to do.

In the UK people normally have dinner at 6 o’clock or a bit later, when they come back from work.This is the biggerst meal of the day and the typical British dinner is a roast dinner, which includes some meat, chicken or fish, some potatoes, some vegetables like carrots, broccoli or peas. However, people obviously don’t eat this every day, and the might eat a pasta dinner, curry, a pie or something like that. Before going to bed, some people have a snack that is called supper. Depending on if you are hungry or not, people will have a bigger or a smaller super.

On Fridays, I am normally happier because it is the weekend. In the evening i go for a walk or watch a series on Netfix. I like Fridays but don’t have a lot of energy so i normally relax and stay at home. Finally, I normally eat out on Saturdays. My favorite type of restaurants are Italian restaurants because I love pasta and pizza. After having dinner, I go to the supermarket or to the shopping center because I like to buy the food that I will eat during the week. So, today I have talked to you about what I normally do every week. Sometimes I do other different things, like going to the mountains or visiting a new city, but this is just a typical week for me.
