Composition in English "My daily routine"
Honestly speaking, I don't like to get up very early. But I have to wake up at 7.00 in the morning or even earlier. I have a great number of morning duties: first of all I put on my sweatsuit and do some exercises. I like sport, so I need to be always in a good form. If it is good weather, I go jogging outside. If the weather is rainy or too windy, or really cold, I stay at home and do warmup.Then I usually take a chilling shower or a warm shower if it is breezy. I eat just nutrient-enriched food. For that reason I always have fresh salad, porrige and tea with lemon. Sometimes I fry eggs with bacon (but not too often, as I have not too much time in the morning). For me it is a big problem to choose what to wear. I have a huge wardrobe full of clothes. The choice of clothes depends on my mood. Sometimes I can wear one dress for 4 days, sometimes I need something special. Girls need a lot of time in the morning, so we want to look excellent all the time.
When I'm ready, I go to university (college, school). Classes start at 9.00 (10.00). I can't say that I'm a very good student, but I try to do my best. Study takes a great part of my day now. I have excellent tutors which have a great impact on the formation of my personality. Here I have a lot of friends with whom we can chat, sometimes even during lectures (sorry, tutors) 🙂 We are chatter-boxes. We have interesting excursions. I like traveling, so for me it is a really wonderful waste of time. At university (college, school) I have to go to a canteen. Homemade food is better, but here it is also not bad. If I'm hungry, it is even VERY tasty 🙂
After studies I like to go for a walk with my friends or my boyfriend. I like nature, so we usually go to parks, eat ice-cream or other sweets and talk about different events in our life. We like to make photos of ourselves and nature. Photography is my cup of tea. At home I have a great deal of various photos. Sometimes we visit coffee-houses to drink some coffee.
At 17.00 I usually go home. I need to make my assignment (homework). I like to teach English. Sometimes it is difficult to learn all unknown words, but I try to remember them. I usually do assignment (homework) with music. I can't imagine my life without music, so I listen to it everywhere.
2 times a week I go to the swimming pool. Water helps to relax. My grandad taught me to swim when I was in the village. I was at that time maybe 6 or 7 years old. So swimmimg gives me strength to go ahead, to achieve something in life.
In the evening I like to watch a marvelous film or read a book. Also I like to cook, so I make different delicious dishes. But I eat in the evening not much, I eat just an apple and some vegetables with chicken.
I usually go to bed at 00.00. This is mine daily routine.

Then I take a cool shower or a warm one if it's cold outside. I only eat healthy food. For this reason, in the morning I eat a fresh salad, porridge and drink tea with lemon. Sometimes I fry eggs with bacon (but not often, because I do not have enough time in the morning). The big problem is choosing what to wear. I have a huge closet full of clothes.

Do you want to quickly replenish your vocabulary on this topic? The good news is that you don't have to reread the list of daily routine words in English with translation. Forget about cramming and boring repetition of monotonous phrases. Everything is much easier.
Imagine your typical day
Let it be a weekday filled with your daily activities. Imagine opening your eyes in the morning and getting out of bed ("wake up"). This moment can be described by the word "wakening", or "awakening". Maybe you have already drawn up your daily routine (most often called the "daily routine") in advance and are determined to stick to it right from the moment you wake up. Or maybe in the first minutes of the morning you desperately resist the schedule, not even wanting to think about self-discipline.
In any case, you get out of bed and go to put yourself in order. You go to the bathroom and brush your teeth ("brush teeth"), wash your face ("wash up"), take a shower ("take a shower"). If you care about your health, then you will probably do morning exercises ("do morning exercises"). And, of course, have breakfast ("have breakfast").
At home, of course, it is cozy and good, but sooner or later you will have to get ready for work (study) - "get prepared to go to the job (institute / school)". If we are talking about in English about the beginning of the lessons, you can say with the help of the phrase "my lessons start at 8 am/9 am/etc". For those who work, the phrase "my working day", which translates as "working day", is suitable.
After you get out of work or school, you enjoy thinking about how to spend the evening. Most likely, you already have specific plans. For example, go shopping ("go shopping"), meet friends ("meet friends"). In general, you will surely give yourself some rest ("rest"). And, of course, sooner or later you will come home ("go/come back home"). But, of course, the day doesn't end there.
You can relax and watch TV ("watch TV"), listen to music ("listen to the music"). It will be great if you have the opportunity to spend time with your family ("spend time with family"). Or maybe you will do household chores ("do household chores"): tidy up the apartment ("tidy up a flat"), do laundry ("do laundry"), cook something for dinner/lunch ("cook something for dinner"). Students prepare for the next day of school and do their homework ("do homework").
At the end of the day you can take a bath or shower ("have a bath / a shower"). And finally, it's time to go to bed ("go to bed").
Remind yourself of the words throughout the day
So, you imagined your day, spoke the key points of the daily routine in English. To better remember words and phrases, replay them in your memory when you do this or that action during the day. For example, when opening your eyes in the morning and struggling with sleep, say to yourself: "Come on, wake up!" When taking a shower, remind yourself that in English it would be "take a shower", and so on. You can even stick stickers around the apartment with phrases and words that you want to learn. Then, approaching the refrigerator, you will immediately see the phrase "have breakfast", and it will remain in your memory.
Tell me about your day
There are other ways. For example, you can take a piece of paper or your diary and describe your usual daily routine in English: "I wake up at 7 o'clock every day. Then I go to the bathroom...". You can also describe how your day went by taking a few minutes before bed. And, of course, it would be useful to describe your tomorrow. Speak or write down in English your plans for tomorrow - what time are you going to get up, where to go, who to meet and so on. This will not only motivate you to stick to your planned routine, but also expand your vocabulary - because you will have to find a lot of new words to express your idea. You can place the sheet with your notes in a conspicuous place so that the next day it will be in front of your eyes.
Learn about other people's daily routines
