 Daily Routine in the Present Simple (A2)Listening

My Daily Routine

I wake up at 6:30 a.m. every weekday. I get out of bed and brush my teeth. Then, I take a shower and get dressed. At 7:00 a.m., I have breakfast with my family. I usually drink coffee and eat bread with fruit.

After breakfast, I go to work. I work as a teacher, so I talk to many people every day. I like my job because it is interesting and challenging. At noon, I have lunch and take a short break.

In the evening, I return home. I have dinner around 7:30 p.m. After dinner, I watch TV or read a book. Before going to bed, I prepare things for the next day. I usually go to sleep at 10:30 p.m.

A Trip in the Past Simple (A2–B1)

My Last Trip

Last year, I traveled to Rio de Janeiro with my family. We stayed there for five days. We arrived on Monday morning and stayed in a small hotel near the beach.

During the trip, we visited famous places and took many photos. We walked along the beach, tried local food, and met friendly people. One day, we visited a museum, and another day we went shopping.

I really enjoyed the trip because the weather was sunny and warm. It was a great experience, and I want to visit Rio again in the future.
