After dinner I usually go out with my friends or go in for sports. Besides I have additional private lessons of drawing. Twice a week I go to the School of the Arts in order to pursue my dream to become a painter. Then I do my homework for the next school day. It takes me about 3 hours.

- The grammar of such a text is based on the simple present tense - Present Simple, which is used to describe routine actions that are repeated from day to day. Along with it, you should use adverbs that in English indicate frequency: always, sometimes, rarely, every day, every week.
- In some cases, it is acceptable to use the Present Perfect (Continious), if there is a need to emphasize the fact that a certain occupation began to be practiced in the past and is still relevant. (I usually play the piano in the evening. I've been doing that since I was 7. - I usually play the piano in the evenings. I've been doing this since I was 7 years old. — I start my working day at 6 am since summer).
- To describe habits or actions that you need to get used to in the near future, you can use the constructions be used to and get used to . For example, when describing the time of awakening in a text about a working day, you can say: “I get used to getting up early” - “I’m getting used to waking up early”;

With such phrases, you can dilute sentences about activities and hobbies throughout the day.
The text about the working day should be divided into logical paragraphs, conditionally it should have three parts - the beginning (waking up, morning rituals), a trip to work (to school) and the end of the working day (other activities and hobbies).

- Although / though- although, in spite of. Used to express contrasting relationships between the described phenomena (Although I don’t want to eat in the morning, I do that because I want to be healthy).
- before this- before that. It is used to link sentences, establish chronological order in the text about the working day. (I cook dinner. But before this I like to relax for 5-10 minutes).
- In case / if- if, in case. You can use constructions with these words to describe actions that depend on some conditions. For example, the choice of breakfast depends on the mood, clothes - on the weather. (If the weather is fine I always choose dress and sandals in summer - If the weather is fine, I always choose a dress and sandals in the summer. In case the working day is hard I don't go anywhere after work. - If the working day is hard, I I'm not going anywhere.)

My Working Day
I want to say that all weekdays except weekends look very much the same.
On weekdays the alarm clock wakes me up at about 7 o "clock and my working day begins. I"m not an early riser that"s why it"s very difficult for me to get out of bed, especially in winter. First I do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom, take a warm shower and clean my teeth. After that I go to my bedroom to get dressed.
At a quarter past seven I am ready to have my breakfast. As a rule, I have a light breakfast which consists of a cup of coffee or tea, a boiled egg, and a cheese or a sausage sandwich. After breakfast I take my bag and leave for school.
As my school is not far from my house, it takes me 10 minutes to get there. I usually walk there.
Six or seven lessons a day is the ordinary timetable. The classes at school are over at about three o "clock.

I'd lke to tell you about my daily routine which I follow more or less every day.
I get up at 7 o'clock. I should admit that I don't quickly jump out of bed. I am definitely not an early riser. Then I take a shower, clean my teeth. It takes 15 minutes to brush and order my hair and put on make up. After then I am ready for breakfast. I usually have a cup of strong coffee and a sandwich for breakfast. When I am full up I get dressed. I don't do morning exercises. Perhaps I am lazy, perhaps I don't have much time.
I don't like to be late. So I leave home at 8. My working day starts at 9. My house is far from the office and I usually go by car. Sometimes when it is broken I use a taxi because It takes 40 minutes to get there. I work 5 days a week from 9 till 6.
After my working day I prefer to have a rest. But rest for me is not just sitting in front of TV and doing nothing. So straight from the office I go to the supermarket, buy some food and go home. There at first I prepare supper. I have a lot of thing to do about the house: water the flowers, tidy up the house, wash up and iron clothes. I don't like to go out at week-days. But sometimes my friends or parents come to visit me. I am happy, of course. Twice a week I go to fitness.
As usual after supper I watch TV. I try to go to bed at 11 o'clock. Before falling asleep I usually read a book or a magazine.
So, that's all I can say about my daily activities. Of couse I look forward to the weekends coming and make plans.

Everything is better, but little by little.
