ROUTINES
Think about your daily life. Do you follow the same work every day? Do you sit in the same place in class? When you get dressed, do you always put the same leg or arm in first? You probably do, because we all have routines in our lives.
Routines save time and energy because you do them without thinking, that`s why they are so important in the morning when your brain isn`t active. Here`s Jo talking about her morning routine.
‘Oh yes. I always do exactly the same things. 1 wake up at seven o`clock every morning, but I don`t get quarter past seven. I switch on the radio and listen to the news. Then I go to the loo and I brush my- teeth.
I have a shower and dry my hair. Then I choose my clothes and I get dressed. I don`t eat anything for breakfast. I just have a cup of coffee. Then I go to work. Yes, it`s always the same.`
Routines are very useful. but they also make you uncreative. So some­times it`s a good idea to break your routines. Get out of bed on the opposite side. Listen to a different radio station. Take a different route to work. Eat something different for breakfast. Change your routine. You never know, it could change your life.

Task 2: Read the passage, then choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D.
MY DAILY ROUTINE
My life is always full of activities, so I never have much time for myself. During the week it’s the worst. I usually have to get up at 5:30a.m even though I would really prefer to sleep much later.
I don’t usually have time for breakfast because I have to catch a bus to school at 7:00 a.m. The bus is usually packed with many people. Classes at school start at a quarter to eight except on Tuesdays when they start at seven. Each lesson is forty-five minutes long with ten minutes break in between.
After school I go shopping or just walk around the town for a while. Getting home, I listen to the radio or watch T.V and maybe get a snack. Then I start doing my homework or help my Mom with some housework. Before I know it, the afternoon is gone and it is evening.
In my family, we usually eat dinner at about seven o’clock. At dinner we discuss what happened during the day and catch up with each others’ lives. Then I have some time to watch T.V news. Sometimes, it is an interesting film or a video.
On the weekend it is a different story. I sleep late and do whatever I wish with my free time. I can go for a trip with friends, visit relatives or devote more time to my hobbies. I think everyone will agree that weekends are much better than weekdays.
