Our dynamic life is full of different activities, and I believe that it is very helpful when you have a scheduled daily routine because it can save your time. I am a schoolboy at present, so let me tell you some words about my daily schedule.
I am not an early bird but as a rule I have to wake up quite early, at 6.30 (six thirty, or half past six) on weekdays. I stay in my bed for 5 or 10 minutes and then I get up. I open the window to let some fresh air enter the room. My morning routine consists of making the bed, taking a shower and having breakfast. At 7 o'clock I go to the kitchen where my mother has already made breakfast for me and my dad. I prefer boiled eggs, a sandwich and a cup of tea in the morning. After breakfast I go to the bathroom again to clean my teeth and comb my hair. I get dressed next. Our school uniform is a shirt and black trousers.
At 7.30 (seven thirty, or half past seven) I leave home and go to school. It takes me about 15 minutes to get there on foot. I often surf the Internet on my phone before the lessons start at 8 a.m. I usually have 5 or 6 lessons every day, so at about 2 o'clock my school is over. We have a long break after the 4th lesson, so I can have lunch in our school canteen.
On my way home I always enjoy my walk. If I am not in a hurry, my friends and I visit a shop or a café before going home. We eat ice-cream and take funny pictures of ourselves. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I attend additional Maths courses at the university, and I also play basketball on Wednesday afternoons. When I get home I try to find some time for a little rest. I watch TV, play computer games, chat on the phone or just listen to music. At about 4 o'clock I start doing my homework. It generally takes me 2 or 3 hours to do that, though sometimes I sit with my homework till late at night.
When my parents come home from their work we usually have dinner. Then I often do the washing-up and take the rubbish out. I go to bed at about 11 p.m. I am usually so tired that I fall asleep at once.
I don't have enough time for my hobbies during my weekdays, so they seem a bit boring probably. But I often devote my weekends to reading, doing sports and studying English. In winter I mainly go skiing or skating, and in summer I usually go roller-skating, playing football or riding a bicycle.

Our dynamic life is full of different activities, and I find it very useful to have a planned daily routine in order to save your time. I am currently a school student, so let me tell you in a few words about my daily routine.
I'm not an early riser, but I usually need to wake up quite early, around 6:30 am on weekdays. I lie in bed for another 5-10 minutes and then get up. I open the window to let fresh air into the room. My morning routine consists of making my bed, showering, and eating breakfast. At 7 o'clock I go to the kitchen where my mother has already prepared breakfast for me and my father. I prefer boiled eggs, a sandwich and a cup of tea in the morning. After breakfast, I go back to the bathroom, brush my teeth and comb my hair. Then I get dressed. Our school uniform is a shirt and black trousers.
At 7:30 am I leave the house and go to school. It takes me about 15 minutes to get there on foot. I often surf the Internet on my phone before classes start at 8 o'clock. Usually I have 5-6 lessons every day, so my studies end around 2 o'clock. After the fourth period, we have a long break, so I can have lunch in the school cafeteria.
On the way home I always enjoy a walk. If I'm not in a hurry, then my friends and I go to a store or cafe before going home. We eat ice cream and take funny pictures. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I take additional math courses at the university, and I also play basketball on Wednesday afternoons. When I get home, I try to find some time to relax. I watch TV, play on the computer, talk on the phone or just listen to music. At about 4 o'clock I start my lessons. Usually I need 2-3 hours to complete them, although sometimes I sit on the lessons until late at night.
When my parents come home from work, we usually have dinner. Then I often wash the dishes and take out the trash. I go to bed at about 11 o'clock. I usually get so tired that I fall asleep right away.
Our whole life is divided into workers ( working days) and weekends ( weekends / days off). Vacation ( vacation) and holidays ( holidays) we do not take into account, since they can also be attributed to the weekend. Regardless of the type of human activity, everyone has a certain set of daily activities and procedures that can be combined under one name - the daily routine ( daily routine). The only difference is that on working days we go to work (or study), and on weekends we are free to manage our time as we wish. Every person studying this language should have the ability to competently talk about their daily routine in English.
Working hours in English
The story about the daily routine in English should be started from the moment of awakening ( wakening). As a rule, many get up quite early in the morning ( get up early in the morning) to manage to cope with all the morning routines. By the way, in English there is an expression: Go to bed with the lamb and rise with the lark. It translates as: Early to bed and to rise with roosters. Let us remind you once again that we are talking about the daily routine in English, which is present in the average citizen, without taking into account such features as working at night or in shifts, artists, singers, other creative people, etc. The working days and weekends of such people are quite specific. Let's go back to the usual daily routine in English. After getting up, we perform hygiene procedures: we brush our teeth ( brush teeth), wash ( wash up), take a shower ( take a shower), men can shave ( shave) and the ladies put on make-up ( put on make-up). Some also manage to do morning exercises ( do morning exercises). In the morning we have breakfast have breakfast) and going to work or school ( get prepared to go to the job / institute).
We get to the workplace or educational institution both by public and private transport ( public / private transport). The trip takes a certain amount of time. In this case, the following phrase is used in English:
It takes ... (time) ... to reach the office (to get to the institute, school, etc.). - It takes me (time) to get to the office (to get to the institute, school, etc.).
The working day in our daily routine in English takes a significant part of the day. At the end of the working day, some go on business, others go shopping ( go shopping), the third - home ( go/come back home). At home we cook something for dinner ( cook something for dinner) or warm up something from the refrigerator ( warm up something taken from the fridge). The evening time of our daily routine in English is devoted to rest ( rest). Some prefer to watch TV watch TV) or listen to music ( listen to the music), others spend the evening at the computer ( sit at a computer), others read ( read books) or just doing what they love - a hobby ( hobby). Pupils and students also do their homework ( do homework). If there is free time, we can still include a small cleaning of the apartment in the daily routine in English ( flat cleaning / Tidy up a flat) and washing ( washing / laundry).Before going to bed ( go to bed), you can take a bath or shower ( have a bath / a shower).
However, we all need to alternate between work and leisure ( divide one's time between work and play). That's what weekends are for. There will be changes in this daily routine in English. Many people prefer to relax in bed on the weekend ( stay in bed) and get up later ( get up later), than usual. We try to devote the time of the day off to ourselves and our favorite activities. Someone meets friends meet friends), someone goes to the cinema or theater ( go to the cinema / theater), someone just walks in the fresh air ( walk in the open air). The choice of activities is very large and depends on the season. It's no secret that many women try to do everything around the house on the weekend that they didn't have time to do on weekdays. Weekend time goes by very fast time flies) and the work week starts again ( working week).
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 are desperately resisting 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.

At the same time, they talk about their day in a very exciting way and can inspire you to create a similar "schedule" for yourself.

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 my daily routine.
