My Daily Routine
At home in the morning. I am a student. So I spend the day in a simple way.
I get up from bed early in the morning. First, I do my morning duties. I wash my
face and brush my teeth. I take great care of my teeth, because bad teeth are a sign
of bad health. Then I take a little physical exercise. After taking exercise I go out
for a walk in the open field. There I breathe pure morning air. My mind and body
are both refreshed. Then I return home.
After breakfast I sit down to do my school tasks. I have no tutor. My father
teaches me now and then. My elder brother also helps me if he finds time. I finish
my studies at about 9 a.m. Then I get ready for bath. This is good for health. I
bathe in a pond near our house. I can swim well. But my time is short. So I swim
only for a short time. I enjoy the bath very much. Finishing my bath, I dress myself
and sit down to my meal. When the meal is over, I take a little rest and then start
for school with my books.
On the way, I often meet some of my classmates and together we go to
school.
At school at noon. The classes begin at eleven. I am never late in attending
school. We have got seven periods. Different subjects are taught during these
periods. I always try to listen to my teachers in the class. After the fourth period we
get half an hour for recreation and tiffin. I take some tiffin and play with my
friends. The school closes at 4 p.m. I do not wait a minute after school hours. I
come back home quickly without stopping on the way.
At home in the afternoon. I return home, I put my books in the proper place.
Then I take off my school dress. After washing my hands and feet I take my tiffin.
I do not read in the afternoon. So after taking my tiffin, I go out to play. I am very
fond of playing football.
At night. Usually I return home before it is dark. Sometimes I am late and
my father rebukes me for that.
