Read the text about Maria’s daily routine. My daily routine
My name is Maria. I am a student at the university. I study 5 days a week. Saturday and Sunday are my days off.
My weekdays are very similar. I usually get up at 7 o’clock. I don’t like getting up so early. I always put on some music. It helps me wake up. Then I have a shower and clean my teeth. I have breakfast at half past seven. As a rule my mother makes breakfast for me. Some cereal, coffee and toast is my ideal breakfast. After breakfast I get dressed and put on some make-up. At about 8 o’clock I leave home. I live not far from the university so I usually walk. My classes begin at 8.30 a.m. I don’t like being late and always come in time. As a rule we have 3 or 4 periods of lectures and seminars a day. At noon I go to the university canteen and have lunch there. My classes finish at about 4 o’clock and I go home.
I like having dinner at home. I usually have some soup, salad and steak for dinner. After dinner I always relax. I like listening to music, watching television, surfing the Internet. At about 6 o’clock in the evening I start doing my homework. It takes me 2 or 3 hours every day. At about 8 o’clock I have supper with my family. I do the washing-up after supper and I am free. I often go for walks with my friends. Sometimes we meet in cafés or bars and chat. At about eleven at night I come home. Before going to bed I often read a book or a magazine. This is the end of my ordinary working day.
On Saturdays I usually do my homework and help my mother about the house. On Sundays I like meeting my friends. Our weekends depend on the season. In spring and summer we often go for picnics, sunbathe and swim in the open air. In winter and autumn we like going to the cinema, meeting in bars and clubs, dancing and chatting.
