Hey there, time travelers! ⏳⏰
Today, we’re going to talk about our daily routines – those things we do every day, like brushing our teeth, eating breakfast, and going to school or work. Let’s practice describing our days and learn some useful time words to help us tell our stories!
My Day, My Way
Think about your typical day. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up? What do you do in the morning, afternoon, and evening? Let’s plan it out!
- Time Words: Here are some helpful words to use when talking about time:
- First, then, next, after that, finally
- In the morning/afternoon/evening
- At (time), Around (time)
- My Daily Routine: On a piece of paper, write down the main activities you do each day, using the time words to show the order.
- Example:
- First, I wake up at 6:00 am.
- Then, I brush my teeth and wash my face.
- Next, I eat breakfast with my family.
- After that, I walk to school.
- In the afternoon, I play football with my friends.
- Finally, I have dinner and go to bed.

Sharing Time!
Now, find a partner and share your daily routines.
- Describing Your Routine: Read your routine aloud to your partner, using the time words to help them understand the order of events.
- Asking Questions: Ask your partner questions about their routine, such as:
- “What time do you wake up?”
- “What do you eat for breakfast?”
- “How do you get to school/work?”
- “What do you do after school/work?”
- Listening and Responding: Pay attention to your partner’s answers and ask follow-up questions if you want to know more.
Making Comparisons
Are your routines similar or different? Talk with your partner about the ways your days are alike and the ways they are unique.
- Example: “We both wake up early, but I walk to school while you ride your bike.”
Challenge Yourself!
Try to add more details to your description. Use adjectives to describe your activities.
- Example: “I eat a delicious breakfast with my family.”
Did you know? In Cambodia, many people take a nap in the afternoon, especially during the hot season. This is called “tastes.”
