CAROL'S ROUTINE

My name is Carol. I'm thirty-three years old and I live in Birmingham, England.

On weekdays, I usually get up at a quarter to seven in the morning. I always have a shower and get dressed. Then I have a cup of tea and a toast for breakfast and I leave home.

I attend dance lessons and I always have lunch at twelve o´clock. In the afternoon I work from two to six o'clock. I have a part-time job in a shoe shop. I always take the underground to go home but I never get home before seven in the evening. Anne (my house mate) always arrives before me and she often prepares dinner for us. She doesn't eat meat because she is a vegetarian, so we never eat meat for dinner, but she cooks pasta wonderfully. We usually have dinner at a quarter past seven. After dinner, I listen to music or read a book. I usually go to bed at half past nine.

At weekends, I always get up after ten o'clock in the morning. On Saturday I go shopping and I eat out with my friends. Later, I do sport. I like running in the park. In the evening, I sometimes go to the cinema with Anne. On Sundays, Anne and I clean the house in the morning. In the afternoon I always visit my parents and I have lunch with them. I hardly ever go out in the evening, so I usually stay in and watch TV. Like this, I recharge my batteries for the new week!
