My Routine

This is my normal routine. I usually get up at 6:00 and I eat breakfast and drink a cup of coffee. Sometimes, I eat an egg and toast for breakfast, but I usually eat cereal with yogurt and blueberries. I brush my teeth and I get ready for work. Then I work from 9:00 to 5:00. After I get home, I make dinner and wash the dishes. I usually read or watch TV before I go to bed. Next, I take a shower and get ready for bed. I usually go to bed at about 10:00. I don't stay up late because I get up early in the morning. On the weekends, I like to sleep late. I do my laundry, go grocery shopping, and clean my apartment. I sometimes meet my friends for coffee or go to a movie.

Now write about your routine and post it on the blog. You can use the conversation questions from the beginning of class or your writing from yesterday. When you are finished, you can practice listening, grammar, or reading.

Classes and Schools

We are studying classrooms and schools this week. In computer class today, we are going to learn how to use a reading program and the articles are about school. First I will give you a demonstration and then you are going to use the program on your own. When you are finished, please return to the blog and answer the questions.

1. Do you like to read in your language?

2. If yes, what do you like to read? Books (romance, history, science), magazines, newspapers...

3. What is your favorite book? If you don't know the name in English, you can write it in your language.
