My Daily Routine

Every morning, I wake up at 7 o’clock. First, I brush my teeth and wash my face. Then, I eat breakfast with my family. After breakfast, I get dressed and pack my bag for school. I leave the house at 8 o’clock and walk to the bus stop. At school, I have classes until lunchtime. After lunch, I play with my friends during recess. When school is over, I go home and do my homework. In the evening, I help my mom set the table for dinner. After dinner, I watch TV or read before going to bed at 9 o’clock.
