Daily Routine Habits

Slide 1 - Slide

I usually get up at half past six on weekdays and at about eight or nine at weekends. It depends on what I plan to do.
First I go to the bathroom to have a shower and brush my teeth. Then I get dressed and make up. At about seven I have breakfast: buttered toast with cheese and a cup of white coffee. While I'm eating, I read the newspaper or listen to the news on the radio. Sometimes I watch breakfast TV: I like these programmes very much because, besides news, they provide interesting talks with famous people and live performances by popular singers and groups. I leave home at about half past seven.

Slide 2 - Slide

When do you usually get up in the morning?
What do you do when you get up in the morning?

Slide 3 - Open question

Who is the first to get up in your family?
How long does it take you to get dressed?

Slide 4 - Open question

It is my parents who get up first because they start from home earlier than me. They go together by car as they both work in a factory on the outskirts of the town.


I usually decide what to wear in the evening, so it doesn't take me long to get dressed.

Slide 5 - Slide

Are you in a hurry in the mornings?
How do you go to work or school?
When do you go to work or school?

Slide 6 - Open question

If I stay up late watching a good film or go out with my friends, I sometimes oversleep and I have to get dressed quite quickly and I don't have time for breakfast.


It depends on the weather. If it is fine, I go by bike or walk. In winter and when it rains, I take the bus.

Unfortunately I have to leave early, at around a quarter to seven. I go to a bilingual school in another part of the town and I have to change buses twice.


Slide 7 - Slide

Do you sleep longer at the weekends?
How carefully do you plan your weekends?

Slide 8 - Open question

 Yes, my week is so tiring that I need to sleep a lot at weekends. Of course, when we have a weekend program, I get up earlier.

It depends on my mood. Sometimes I like being alone, and I don't plan to do anything, but when we go hiking with my friends, we plan the programme very carefully. We book the tickets and the accommodation well in advance, and decide on the route and the activities.

Slide 9 - Slide

Do you have breakfast in the mornings? What do you eat for breakfast?

Slide 10 - Open question

No, I usually only drink a cup of white coffee for breakfast on weekdays. At weekends we have a big breakfast with my family. My mother prepares ham and eggs and waffles.


At weekends I usually have a bigger breakfast, not only a piece of toast and coffee but also fried or scrambled eggs and some yoghurt and sometimes some fruit, a banana or an orange.

Slide 11 - Slide

Do you have lunch at work or school?
When do you finish with school or work?

Slide 12 - Open question

 I don't really like the food they serve at the canteen, so I take some sandwiches, an apple or a pear, and some juice with me.

The classes finish at around two, but I don't go home immediately after school as I have basketball training on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and I sing in a choir on Tuesdays and Fridays. So I arrive home only at about five.

Slide 13 - Slide

What do you do in the afternoons or evenings?

Slide 14 - Open question

After arriving home from school, I have a rest, read the newspaper or watch. Then I do my homework and twice a week I go to a private teacher. I spend the evenings either with my family or with my friends. I usually help my mother with preparing the dinner and we talk about what has happened during the day. When I have questions about my homework, my father helps me after dinner. With my friends we often go to the Plaza to play darts or billiards or go to the movies.

Slide 15 - Slide

Do you eat dinner at home?

Slide 16 - Open question

Yes, the whole family has dinner together. This is when we discuss the day's happenings and make plans. Occasionally we go to a restaurant to celebrate a birthday or a nameday.

Slide 17 - Slide

Do you often watch TV, films or series?

Slide 18 - Open question

I watch the news every day because I like to know what is going on in the world. I also enjoy watching quiz shows and documentaries. As I'm a sitcom-fan, I saw all the episodes of Friends. Most of the time I watch films and series on Netflix or HBO Go, but sometimes I download them from the internet and I can watch them anytime even if I'm offline. At weekends I sometimes watch old Hungarian films, too. 

Slide 19 - Slide

Do you often check the internet?
What do you watch or read?

Slide 20 - Open question

I often watch Youtube videos, I follow some channels and I think there are many useful influencers, for example I like make up tutorials and cooking shows, unboxing videos, too. I often check the news on my phone, mostly when I travel to work by train or bus. When I drive I always listen to music on Spotify and I need the internet for my job as well. If I need some information I always check the Wikipedia or similar sites.
I try to avoid social media sites like Facebook or Instagram because they are useless, but of course sometimes I check them. I rarely upload some photos or share a post, but I often use messenger to text or groupchat with my friends or colleagues. Most of the time I use my smartphone, but for work I sometimes use my laptop as well.
