a) My Routine

I have a very busy routine. I get up early in the morning, have breakfast with my
family, and take my children to school. Then I go to work, read my e-mails and
attend meetings. I usually pick up my children at school at 12:00 and we have
lunch at 12:30. I come back to work in the afternoon and I go to the gym, and
after that I go home to take a shower and prepare dinner. We usually have dinner
around 7:30 pm. After dinner, we watch TV together or play a game. Later, we
brush our teeth and go to bed. It’s tiring, but I love my life.
