READING COMPREHENSION

Some of my friends think I have a boring daily routine, but I like it. I usually get up at about
6:00 or 6:30 in the morning, after my alarm clock wakes me up. First, I brush my teeth, and
shave, and wash my face. Then, I get dressed and go downstairs to have breakfast with my
family. I always have coffee, cereal, and lots of fruit. That’s me in the picture with my wife. I
take a bus to work because I don’t like to drive, and I always arrive at my office before 8:00.
I’m never late for work. Five o’clock is my favorite time of the day because I finish work and
go back home and see my wife and children again. I have two boys, Thomas, who is six years
old and Patrick, who is eight. We eat dinner together in our dining room at around 6:00, and
after that I hang out with my wife and kids at home. We really enjoy watching our favorite TV
programs together. We like to watch shows about travel. However, two or three times a week I
do exercise in the evening, so I can stay strong and healthy. I think that this is very important!
Finally, at about 9:30, I go to bed, read for a while, and then fall asleep. Sure, some people think
my daily routine is a little boring – but on weekends and holidays I love to fly airplanes … for
fun! It’s my favorite hobby.
