From Monday to Friday, my daily routine is always the same. I get up at six o’clock in the
morning and go to the gym to exercise at six twenty. I come back home, take a shower, get
dressed, and then eat breakfast at seven thirty. I always catch the bus near my house at seven
forty to go to work. I read the newspaper on the bus and arrive at the office at eight fifteen. I start
work at eight thirty.
My work days are always the same. I am an engineer, but most of the time I work in the office. I
draw plans for buildings. Sometimes my coworkers and I eat lunch out of the office, but usually
we stay in.
In the evenings, I usually eat dinner and then watch TV. Sometimes I go to the movies on
Wednesday nights with my good friends. On Friday nights, I usually go out to dinner with them.
Weekends for me are usually the same too, but sometimes I go to the beach or go play tennis.
One thing that I always do is go to my German class. I have class every Saturday from eight
thirty to ten o’clock. This weekend will be special though. It’s my father’s birthday and there is a
surprise party for him. I have a lot to do. There is a special meal to prepare, a nice present to buy
for him, and of course I have to invite all of his friends.
