 DAILY ROUTINES

Read about Mike  and Kelly. Then, answer the questions below.

MIKE LAPLANTE

I’m an English teacher and I have a big family, so I have a very busy daily routine!  First, I get up every day at six o’clock, get washed and dressed, and leave for work by seven-thirty. I get to school at eight o’clock. I prepare my lessons and then teach until noon. The others teachers and I always eat lunch and talk together in the teachers’ room. I teach again in the afternoon and then I correct my students’ homework and tests. After I get back home, I help my kids with their homework. I have three kids in elementary school. Their names are Mathew, Jon and Suzie. Then, I do some exercise, eat dinner with my family and watch TV before I go to bed at about ten o’clock. We love to watch travel shows. Finally, I read in bed for a few minutes before I fall asleep.

KELLY BROWN

Well, I almost always get up very early, at about five-thirty. I get up early because I like to go jogging along the beach and watch the sun rise. Later, after breakfast, I go to work. I work in a bank near my home. I don’t drive to work, I take a bus. It only takes about twenty minutes to get to work. After work, I like to go to my favorite bakery and buy some fresh bread. I get home between five o’clock and five-thirty. My husband Michael usually makes dinner because he loves to cook. In fact, he is a chef in a restaurant. His hobby is painting, and my hobby is growing flowers in our garden. We also have a pet dog called Wolfie. In the evenings we take Wolfie for a walk, and then get to bed by nine-thirty because we have to get up so early again the next morning.
