Hello!! How are you? I’m

In the morning, I usually wake up at six o’clock. First, I take a bath, get dressed and
have mate for breakfast. I love drinking mate. After that, I wake my daughters up and
serve breakfast to them. It takes them ten minutes to have breakfast. Finally, I leave
home at half past seven. I go to school by car, and it takes me about fifteen minutes to
get there. I teach English in fourth and seventh grade. I finish my classes at eleven
o’clock, just like you!! Then, I collect pick my daughters up from school and
kindergarten and we all go home for lunch. We usually have meat, spaghetti or chicken
for breakfast.
In the afternoon, I usually take a nap, and later I tidy my house and do the washing up. I
go to the gym twice a week, and my daughters go swimming twice a week too. After
that, we get home and have milk and biscuits for tea. Then, I watch TV and start
preparing dinner.
At night, we all have dinner together and watch TV. I love watching Disney movies!!
After dinner, I eat fruits for dessert and prepare my clothes for the next morning.
Finally, I go to sleep at eleven o’clock.
Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about my routines.
Lots of kisses and hugs,
Gaby.
