 DAILY ACTIVITIES
I always get up at 5 am every morning. I
press the snooze button three times every morning
before I turn off the alarm on my handphone and
wake up. I have a cup of tea and have breakfast. I
usually watch television while I have breakfast. My
children like to take a bath after they have
breakfast but I like to take a bath before I have
breakfast. My wife usually brushes her hair and
wear a veil. I have short hair so I don’t need to
comb my hair.
