Describe a daily routine that you enjoy

You should say:
  • What it is
  • Where and when you do it
  • Who do you do it with
  • Explain why you enjoy it
Sample Answer:
  • • I have many routines that I do every day such as taking a bath, preparing breakfast for myself and sometimes my parents, going for a walk, studying, going to the gurdwara, and so on.
  • • Here I would like to talk about a daily routine that I really enjoy and look forward to.
  • • It is doing a 3-mile walk at home with Leslie Sansone.
  • • Leslie has her own walk at home app in which she has these daily walks for people of all age groups.
  • • My aunt told me about it.
  • • I used to go for a morning walk but could not go when it was too hot or too cold or raining outside.
  • • So my routine was broken.
  • • I have been doing this walk daily for the last 1 year.
  • • I have the app on my phone but I prefer to open the webpage on my laptop as the screen is bigger.
  • • Sometimes my mother joins me in the walk.
  • • We do it in our living room as it is very spacious.
  • • I enjoy it because it gives me a feeling that I have done something for my body.

  • • This walk can be done any time of the day but I like to start my day with it.

  • • There are many other walking routines on the net but I like walking with Leslie the most.

Part 3

We've been talking about Describe a daily routine that you enjoy, and I'd now like to ask you some questions related to this

  • Should children have learning routines?
    Sample Answer: Yes, of course, they should have learning routines. These add discipline to life. When children follow routines they learn to manage time. I believe all routines teach something so can be a learning experience. For example, a simple routine of a family meal can teach children many things when they share their day's happenings with their parents. They learn many social skills and develop a bond with their family. A routine of going to bed in time can develop children’s mental health.
  • What are the advantages of children having a routine at school?
    Sample Answer: There are many advantages of having routines at school. It gives students a predictable day at school. So they feel more confident and secure. It also saves time. They don’t have to ask questions about what to do next. Teachers have already streamlined things for them. It becomes easier for students to become focused and attentive.
  • Does having a routine make kids feel more secure at school?
    Sample Answer: Definitely yes. For younger children, a routine engages them in learning and helps them feel safe in their environment while it helps older children know what to expect and feel more comfortable. This is why classroom routines are important. Routines in the classroom make class time more enjoyable and productive. They offer students a sense of stability. By having classroom rules and procedures that teachers set their students will know their expectations.
  • How do people’s routines differ on weekdays and weekends?
    Sample Answer: Weekdays and weekends are totally different so their routines are also different. Weekday routines are good but on weekends people can afford some flexibility. Of course, a person should also plan weekends otherwise they will disappear without giving you any time for fun and relaxation. A weekend should relax a person after a busy week and also set him up for a successful week ahead. The weekend should incorporate family time, cinema time, outing time, socializing time, and all what cannot be done on weekdays.
  • What daily routines people have at home?
    Sample Answer: People have daily routines like a family meal, a morning prayer, doing household chores together, and so on. Every family has their own routines set up which make things easier for all members. For example, in my family, my father buys vegetables, fruits, and grocery while my mother does the cooking and laundry. My father checks if all doors, windows, and the main gate are locked before going to bed. I take my dogs out for a walk twice a day. These routines are more or less fixed.
  • What are the differences in people’s daily routines now and 15 years ago?
    Sample Answer: Life was slower and simpler in the past. People spent less time on social networking sites than in the past so they had more time to socialize. Routines included being with other people. Today’s routines are more about spending time with oneself and technology.
