Lesson Plan for Talking about Schedules and Routines

People frequently talk about their daily or weekly routines and schedules, especially with family or friends. They may do so just out of curiosity or because they want to plan an event. When talking about daily schedules and routines adverbs of frequency are used to indicate how frequently you do things. Look at these common adverbs of frequency.
100% always all the time 80% usually most of the time 50% sometimes occasionally 20% seldom rarely 0% never not at all

Everyone has some kind of schedule or daily routine. They get up at a certain time, eat at a certain time, go groceryshopping on a certain day. For some people, schedules are very fixed and regimented. For others, schedules may be very flexible and varying. Most people have things on their schedules that have to be done, no matter what- like go to work, feed the baby, or taking medicine. Sometimes these things happen daily, sometimes weekly, and sometimes less frequently. No matter when or how often things are done, there are several expressions that can be used to ask or talk about about schedules, routines, and expressing obligations. Look at the examples below. Expressions when asking about schedules Expression: What time ( do you go to work)? Response: I usually leave the house around 7:30. Expression: What day do ( you usually do laundry)? Response: I usually do it on Saturday afternoons. Expression: When and where do ( you exercise)? Response: I go to a gym everyday in my neighborhood. Expressing Obligation Expression: I must go to ( class this morning). Response: Why? Do you have a test? Expression: He has to ( be at work by 8:00 AM) Response: What happens if he is a little late?

Expression: Im expected to ( visit my grandmother every Sunday afternoon). Response: Does she get upset if you dont show up? Expression: On Friday afternoons, I am supposed to ( deposit the stores weekly sales income in the bank). Response: Will you get fired if you dont? Expression: All applicants are required to ( have an eye vision test before getting a drivers license). Response: If your vision is poor, will they deny you a drivers license? ** Expected to and supposed to are primarily used to express intentions, not absolutes. Use have to to express something definite.

Laurie: So, what are your plans for this weekend? Christie: I dont know. Do you want to get together or something? Sarah: How about going to see a movie? Cinemax 26 on Carson Boulevard is showing Enchanted. Laurie: That sounds like a good idea. Maybe we should go out to eat beforehand. Sarah: It is fine with me. Where do you want to meet? Christie: Lets meet at Summer Pizza House. I have not gone there for a long time. Laurie: Good idea again. I heard they just came up with a new pizza. It should be good because Summer Pizza House always has the best pizza in town. Sarah: When should we meet? Christie: Well, the movie is shown at 2:00PM, 4:00PM, 6:00PM and 8:00PM. Laurie: Why dont we go to the 2:00PM show? We can meet at Summer Pizza House at noon. That will give us plenty of time to enjoy our pizza. Sarah: My cousin Karen is in town. Can I bring her along?

Sarah: She has blond hair, she is kind of slender, and she is about your height. Laurie: She wears eyeglasses, right? Sarah: Yes, and she was playing the piano off and on during the party. Laurie: I remember her now. Yes, do bring her along Sara. She is such a nice person, and funny too. Sarah: She will be happy to meet both of you again. Christie: What is she doing these days? Sarah: She graduated last June, and she will start her teaching career next week when the new school term begins. Laurie: What grade is she going to teach? Sarah: She will teach kindergarten. She loves working with kids, and she always has such a good rapport with them. Christie: Kindergarten? She must be a very patient person. I always think kindergarten is the most difficult class to teach. Most of the kids have never been to school, and they have never been away from mommy for long. Sarah: I think Karen will do fine. She knows how to handle young children. Laurie: I think the first few weeks will be tough. However, once the routine is set, it should not be too difficult to teach kindergarten. Christie: You are right. The kids might even look forward to going to school since they have so many friends to play with. Sarah: There are so many new things for them to do at school too. They do a lot of crafts in kindergarten. I am always amazed by the things kindergarten teachers do. Laurie: Yes, I have seen my niece come home with so many neat stuff. Christie: Maybe we can ask Karen to show us some of the things that we can do for this Halloween. Laurie: Maybe we can stop by the craft store after the movie. What do you think, Sara?

Sarah: I will talk to her. I think she will like that. It will help her with school projects when Halloween comes. Christie: Michaels is a good store for crafts. It always carries a variety of things, and you can find almost anything there. Laurie: There is a Michaels store not far away from Cinemax 26. I believe it is just around the corner, on Pioneer Avenue. We can even walk over there. Sarah: So, we plan to meet for pizza at noon, go to the movies at two, and shop at Michaels afterward. Right? Laurie and Christie: Yes.
