Hello! My name is Anna, and I want to tell you about my typical day.
I usually wake up at 6:30 AM. Before I get out of bed, I stretch and check the weather. Then I get dressed and wash my face. I eat breakfast around 7:30. I usually eat eggs and toast. Sometimes I have oatmeal with fruit and yogurt. I always drink coffee! While I am drinking my coffee, I like to read. I usually have a book beside me. I love reading! After breakfast, I brush my teeth, pack my lunch, and go to work.
I work in an office. It’s not far from my apartment, so I walk. I enjoy walking to work because it is good exercise, and it gives me energy for the day! I like my job because the work is interesting, and my co-workers are nice. At noon I have lunch. I usually eat leftovers from my dinner the night before. Sometimes I go out for lunch with a co-worker.
At 5:00 PM, my workday is finished. I don’t like to go straight home. On my way home, I often stop at the grocery store to get some vegetables for my dinner. Sometimes I meet my friends at a café. On Tuesdays, I go to my art class where I am learning to paint!
When I arrive at home, I cook dinner. I usually eat dinner around 7. After dinner, I like to do something relaxing. I watch TV, read a book, or call my family on the phone. I go to bed at 11:00 PM. This is my typical day. It’s a simple life, but it’s a good life.

Good morning. My name is Victoria. In this presentation, I will talk about my favourite activities. I will tell you three things I love to do in my free time.
First, I love to play sports. My favourite sports are volleyball and soccer. I love these sports because they are exciting and fun. I feel happy if my team wins, and I also feel happy if my team loses. I just love playing! I am a really active person.
Next, I like to spend time with my family. On holidays, my whole family gathers together: my brothers and sisters, my nieces and nephews, and my parents. We always eat a big meal. I’m really organized, so I usually plan the menu and tell everyone what to bring for dinner. I always have fun with my family.
Finally, I love to go for a walk. I am social, so I invite my friends to walk with me. We usually go to a nature trail near my house. I prefer to walk in nature because the air is fresh. I feel calm and peaceful in nature. I have no stress when I am walking.
In summary, I love to play sports, spend time with my family, and go for a walk in nature. Thank you for listening to my presentation. Do you have any questions?
Good morning. My name is Victoria. In this presentation, I will talk about my favourite activities. I will tell you three things I love to do in my free time.
First, I love to play sports. My favourite sports are volleyball and soccer. I love these sports because they are exciting and fun. I feel happy if my team wins, and I also feel happy if my team loses. I just love playing! I am a really active person.
Next, I like to spend time with my family. On holidays, my whole family gathers together: my brothers and sisters, my nieces and nephews, and my parents. We always eat a big meal.
