Daily Routine | A1 English | Talk About Your Day | English Podcast

https://youtu.be/DW_XjqTWoBQ?si=L9kysC0Oc0iwIJj0

Ethan: Hi, everyone. Ethan here. It's great to be back.

Ethan: So, Sophia, you look full of energy today. Did you have a good
morning?

Sophia: I did. Thank you, Ethan. I woke up early, had a nice cup of coffee
and went for a short walk. It's my typical morning routine.

Ethan: Uh, a routine. That's a perfect word. A routine is the usual way you
do things every day. And talking about your daily routine is one of the
most common conversations in English.

Sophia: Exactly. It's something you can talk about with new friends,
colleagues at work, or classmates at school.

Ethan: It's a fantastic way to practice the basics. So in today's episode,

we're going to teach you how to talk about your daily routine. By the end
of this lesson, you will know the most important words and phrases to
describe your day from morning to night.

Ethan: Let's start with the beginning of the day — the morning. For me,
the first thing is my alarm clock. It rings at 7:00 AM. Then I wake up.

Sophia: That's a great first phrase — "to wake up." This is when your eyes
open and you are not sleeping anymore. For example, I wake up at 6:30
AM every morning.

Ethan: After I wake up, I don't jump out of bed immediately. I usually stay
in bed for 5 minutes. Then I get up. "To get up" means to leave your bed.

Sophia: That's an important difference. You wake up first, then you get up.
So you could say: "I wake up at 7:00, but I get up at 7:15."

Ethan: What's next for you, Sophia?

Sophia: After I get up, I go to the bathroom, I wash my face, and I brush
my teeth. These are very common phrases. You do them every day. I
always brush my teeth after I get up.

Ethan: Me too. Health is important. After that, I usually take a shower. The
phrase is “take a shower.” For example, “He takes a shower before
breakfast.” Then I get dressed. "To get dressed" means to put your clothes
on.
Sophia: Yes, you can say, “I get dressed for work,” or “I get dressed for
school.” After that, it's time for the best part of the morning — breakfast. I
usually have breakfast around 8:00 AM.

Ethan: What do you have for breakfast? You can use the verb "have" or
"eat." So, “I have toast for breakfast” or “I eat cereal for breakfast.” I
usually have a big cup of coffee. You can say “I drink coffee.”

Ethan: So let's quickly review those key morning phrases: wake up, get
up, brush my teeth, take a shower, get dressed, and have breakfast. These
will help you describe your morning perfectly.

Ethan: Now let's talk about the middle of the day — the afternoon. For
many people, this part of the day involves work or study. The phrase is “go
to work” or “go to school.”

Sophia: That's right. For example, “I leave my house at 8:30 AM and I go

to work.” Or “The children go to school by bus.” I start work at 9:00 AM.

Ethan: "To start work" is another useful phrase. And what about lunch?

Sophia: Lunch is the meal in the middle of the day. Just like breakfast, we
use the verb "have." So, “I have lunch at 1:00 PM.” I usually have lunch
with my colleagues.

Ethan: "Colleagues" are the people you work with. You could say, “I
sometimes have a sandwich for lunch at my desk.” Notice Sophia said
“sometimes.” This is an adverb of frequency. It tells us how often we do
something.

Sophia: Let's look at three very useful ones: always, usually, and
sometimes.

 Always means 100% of the time. Example: “I always brush

my teeth in the morning.”

 Usually means most of the time, maybe 80 or 90%. Example:

“I usually drink coffee with my breakfast.”

 Sometimes means not all the time, maybe 30 or 40%.

Example: “I sometimes go for a walk after lunch.”

Ethan: Using these words makes your English sound much more natural.

Sophia: Absolutely. So after lunch, I continue to work until 5:00 PM. Then I
finish work. After I finish work, I go home.

Ethan: OK, let's do a quick role play. Imagine we are new colleagues. I'll
ask Sophia about her workday.
Ethan: Hi, Sophia. I'm new here. Can I ask what a normal day is like? What
time do you usually start work?

Sophia: Hi, Ethan. Welcome! I usually start work at 9:00 AM. I always
check my emails first.

Ethan: And when do you have lunch?

Sophia: I have lunch around 1:00 PM. I sometimes eat with the team in
the kitchen. Then I finish work at 5:00 PM.

Ethan: Great. Thank you. That’s very helpful.

Ethan: See? A simple conversation using the phrases we just learned. The
key takeaways for this section are: go to work, have lunch, finish work, and
using adverbs like always, usually, and sometimes.

Sophia: Perfect. Now let’s move on to the final part of the day — the
evening.

Ethan: So you’ve finished work, you’ve come home. What’s next, Sophia?

Sophia: Well, when I get home, I like to relax for a little while. "To relax"
means to rest and feel calm. Maybe I listen to some music.

Ethan: Then it’s time to think about dinner. Dinner is the last big meal of
the day. You can say “make dinner” or “cook dinner.” For example: “I cook
dinner for my family every evening.” And then, of course, you have dinner.

Sophia: We use “have” again — “We have dinner together at 7:30 PM.”
After dinner, there is a job that not everyone loves: wash the dishes.

Ethan: Yes — to wash the dishes. Or you can also say “do the dishes.” For
example: “My brother always does the dishes after dinner.”

Sophia: In the evening, people do many different things to relax. You

might watch TV — for example, “I watch a movie on Netflix.” Or maybe
you read a book.

Ethan: I like to read a book before bed. Another common activity is to

spend time with family. For example: “In the evenings I spend time with
my children.” Or you might call a friend.

Sophia: Finally, at the end of the day, you go to bed. This is when you go
to your bed to sleep. I usually go to bed around 11:00 PM, and then
hopefully, you fall asleep.

Ethan: So for the evening, remember these phrases: make dinner, have
dinner, wash the dishes, watch TV, read a book, and go to bed.
Sophia: Now that we've covered the whole day, let's do a quick summary
of the main learning points.

Ethan: Talk about the morning with phrases like wake up, get up, and
have breakfast. We use the simple present tense because we are talking
about habits and routines.

Sophia: For the afternoon, we learned: go to work, have lunch, and finish
work. We also learned important adverbs like always, usually, and
sometimes.

Ethan: And for the evening, we learned phrases like cook dinner, relax,
watch TV, and go to bed. We saw that the verb "have" is very useful for
meals — have breakfast, have lunch, have dinner.

Sophia: Now for our practical advice. We have two simple tips to help you
practice this:

1. Take a piece of paper or open a new note on your phone. Write 5–7
sentences about your own daily routine. Use the phrases we learned
today.

2. Practice speaking. Read your sentences out loud. Say them to

yourself in the mirror. Or tell a friend or family member about your
day in English.

Ethan: The goal is to make it automatic. The more you say it, the easier it
becomes. You don’t need to be perfect, you just need to practice.

Sophia: That’s all the time we have for today. We hope you found this
helpful!

out there.

Paul: That's right, Emily. We're going to talk about our day — you know,
the things we do every day. It's a fantastic way to learn some basic verbs
and vocabulary.

Emily: Yes, please do. We love hearing from you too, so feel free to leave a

Paul: OK, Emily. Are you ready to talk about what we do during the day?

Emily: Absolutely. Let's start with the morning. What do you usually do in
the morning?

Paul: Well, the first thing I do is wake up. I usually wake up around 7:00.

Emily: 7:00? That's a good time. I sometimes wake up a little earlier,

around 6:30.

Paul: Wow, you're an early bird, Emily. After I wake up, I get out of bed.

Emily: Me too. "Get out of bed" is a very important phrase.

Paul: That’s right. After that, I go to the bathroom.

Emily: I brush my teeth and wash my face.

Paul: "Brush my teeth" and "wash my face" — these are also very
common actions.

Emily: That's right. After that, I go to the kitchen.

Paul: Ah, the kitchen. What do you do in the kitchen in the morning?

Emily: I usually make breakfast.

Paul: Make breakfast. What do you usually have for breakfast, Emily?
Emily: I often have coffee and toast. Sometimes I eat fruit too, like a
banana or an apple.

Paul: Coffee and toast — simple and delicious. I usually have tea and
some cereal.

Emily: Nice. After breakfast, I get dressed.

Paul: "Get dressed" — that means you put on your clothes.

Emily: Exactly. I choose my clothes for the day and put them on.

Paul: And what do you do after you get dressed, Emily?

Emily: Well, if I'm going out, I might put on my shoes and my coat.

Paul: "Put on my shoes" and "put on my coat" — very good. Then I usually
leave the house.

Emily: Where do you usually go when you leave the house in the
morning?

Paul: I usually go to work. I work in an office.

Emily: I sometimes work from home, but sometimes I also go to an office.

Paul: That’s interesting. So, Emily, what do you do in the morning? Can
you tell us about your routine?

Emily: Sure. I wake up around 6:30, then I get out of bed and go to the
bathroom. I wash my face and brush my teeth.
After that, I go to the kitchen and make tea and have cereal for breakfast.
Then I get dressed.
If I need to go to the office, I put on my shoes and maybe a jacket. Then I
leave the house and go to work.

Paul: That’s a great morning routine, Emily. We used a lot of important

verbs there:

 Wake up

 Get out of bed

 Go to the bathroom

 Brush my teeth

 Wash my face

 Go to the kitchen

 Make breakfast

 Have breakfast
  Get dressed

 Put on shoes

 Put on a coat

 Leave the house

 Go to work

Emily: Yes, those are very useful verbs for beginners. Let’s talk about
what we do during the day. Paul, what do you do at work?

Paul: At work, I usually sit at my desk and work on my computer. I answer

emails and write reports.

Emily: "Sit at my desk," "work on my computer," "answer emails," and

"write reports" — these are all things many people do at work.

Paul: That’s right. Sometimes I also have meetings with my colleagues.

Emily: "Have meetings" — meetings are when people get together to talk
about work.

Paul: Exactly. What about you, Emily? What do you do during the day,
especially if you work from home?

Emily: If I work from home, I also sit at my desk and use my computer. I
might write articles or prepare lessons. Sometimes I have online meetings.

Paul: "Write articles," "prepare lessons," and "online meetings" — very

useful. Yes. And then usually around lunchtime, I have lunch.

Emily: What do you usually eat for lunch, Paul?

Paul: I often have a sandwich or a salad — something light.

Emily: A sandwich. A salad. Sounds healthy. I sometimes bring my lunch

from home or I go out to eat.

Paul: "Go out to eat" — that’s nice. After lunch, we usually go back to
work.

Emily: Yes, back to work until the end of the day. What happens after
work, Paul?

Paul: After work, I usually go home.

Emily: That’s a great feeling. What do you do when you get home?

Paul: Well, sometimes I relax on the sofa and watch TV.

Emily: "Relax on the sofa," "watch TV" — that sounds nice and relaxing.
Paul: It is. Sometimes I also cook dinner.

Emily: "Cook dinner" — what do you like to cook?

Paul: I like to cook pasta or sometimes I make a simple soup.

Emily: Pasta. Soup. Delicious. I also like to cook dinner. Sometimes I try
new recipes.

Paul: That’s fun. After dinner, what do you usually do, Emily?

Emily: After dinner, I often wash the dishes.

Paul: "Wash the dishes" — not my favorite activity, but it has to be done.

Emily: Me neither. Sometimes I read a book or talk to my family or friends.

Paul: "Read a book," "talk to my family," "talk to my friends" — these are

all great evening activities. What about you, Emily? Do you have any
special evening activities?

Emily: I like to take a walk if the weather is nice. It’s good to get some
fresh air.
And sometimes I practice my Spanish. It’s fun to learn a new language,
even in the evening.

Paul: That’s great. So as the evening gets later, what do you do to get
ready for bed?

Emily: I usually get ready for bed around 9:00 or 10:00 PM. I brush my
teeth again, wash my face, and put on my pajamas.
Then I might read for a little while in bed.

Paul: I usually take a warm shower before bed. It helps me relax and sleep
better. Then I put on my pajamas.
Before I go to sleep, I sometimes plan my day for tomorrow quickly in my
head.

Emily: That’s a good idea. Do you have a specific time you like to go to
sleep?

Paul: I try to go to sleep around 10:30 or 11:00. I like to get at least seven
or eight hours of sleep.

Emily: It’s important for good health, right? I usually go to bed a little
later, around 11:30.

Paul: So to summarize our day, we talked about:

 Waking up
 Getting ready in the morning
 Going to work or working from home
  Having lunch
 Finishing work
 Going home
 Relaxing

Paul: That’s a fantastic list, Emily. These are all things that everyone does
regularly, so learning these phrases is super helpful for beginners.
Emily: Absolutely. And remember, you can use these phrases to talk about
your own day. Try to think about what you do from morning until night and
say it in English.
Paul: That’s great practice. You can even write it down. Writing can help
you remember the words and phrases better.

Emily: Yes, that’s a wonderful idea, Paul. And don’t worry if you don’t
know all the words yet. Just try your best and you’ll learn more and more
each day.

Paul: Exactly. Learning a new language takes time and practice. Be

patient with yourself and celebrate your progress, no matter how small it
seems.

Emily: That’s such good advice, Paul. Well, I think we’ve covered a lot
about our day today. Hopefully our listeners found this helpful.

Paul: I hope so too, Emily. It was fun talking about our daily routines.

✅ Dialogue 3 – Emily and Paul (Natural Conversation About Daily

Life)

https://youtu.be/p8Ew8dCbcjM?si=I7HMbtveGqKOkrvE

Emily: Hello everyone, and welcome back to Mr. English Channel. I'm
Emily.

Paul: And I'm Paul. We're so happy to have you join us today for another
fun English lesson.
Emily: That's right, Paul. Before we start, please remember to share this
episode with your friends, subscribe to Mr. English Channel if you haven't
already, and give us a big like. It really helps us a lot.

Paul: Yes, your support means the world to us. Today we're going to talk
about something we do every single day...

Emily: Our day. It sounds simple, but talking about your day is a fantastic
way to practice English. You can describe your morning, your afternoon,
your evening. It's all about everyday life.

Paul: Exactly. And we'll try to use easy words and short sentences so
everyone can follow along. No difficult grammar today, just real
conversation.

Emily: So, Paul, let's start with the morning. What do you usually do when
you wake up?

Paul: Oh, my morning routine is quite simple. First I wake up. Then I
usually stretch a little bit in bed. It feels good. After that, I get out of bed.

Emily: Me too. Stretching is great. Do you check your phone right away?

Paul: Sometimes, yes, but I try not to. I usually go to the bathroom. I
brush my teeth and wash my face.

Emily: What about you, Emily?

Emily: Similar. After I wake up, I usually go to the kitchen first. I make
coffee. I love the smell of fresh coffee in the morning. Then I come back
and brush my teeth and wash my face.

Paul: Do you take a shower in the morning, Emily?

Emily: Yes, I do. A quick shower helps me wake up properly. After my

shower, I get dressed. I usually wear comfortable clothes if I'm working
from home.

Paul: What do you like to have for breakfast?

Emily: For breakfast, I usually have something quick—maybe some toast

with jam or yogurt with fruit. And of course, my coffee.

Paul: Do you eat breakfast at home or do you sometimes grab something

on the go?

Emily: I almost always eat breakfast at home. It's my favorite meal. I like
eggs and sometimes cereal.
After breakfast, I usually read the news on my tablet for a few minutes. It
helps me know what's happening in the world.
Paul: That's a good habit. So after all that, you're ready to start your
workday, right?

Emily: Yes, usually. I check my emails and then I start working. My work
sometimes involves a lot of reading and writing.

Paul: What's the first thing you do when you start your workday, Emily?

Emily: Well, after my coffee and breakfast, I usually open my laptop and
check my schedule for the day. I like to plan what I need to do. Then I also
check my emails, just like you, Paul.

Paul: So our mornings are quite similar. It's good to have a routine, right?
It makes the day start smoothly.

Emily: Absolutely. Now let's talk about the afternoon. This is usually the
busiest part of the day for many people. What do you do in the afternoon,
Paul?

Paul: The afternoon is usually for more work. I have meetings sometimes,
or I write scripts for our podcast like this one. I usually work on projects.

Emily: Do you have a lot of meetings, Paul?

Paul: Yes, I do. I often have online meetings with different people. I also
answer emails and prepare materials for our lessons. It can be busy.

Emily: What about lunch? Do you have a specific time for lunch?

Paul: Yes, I try to have lunch around 1:00 PM. I usually make something
simple at home, maybe a sandwich or a salad. Sometimes if I have
leftovers from dinner, I eat that.

Emily: Do you cook lunch or do you sometimes buy it?

Paul: I usually cook lunch at home. I like to make something healthy and
easy, like chicken and vegetables or a soup. Sometimes if I'm really busy, I
might just have a quick snack.

Emily: Do you take a break after lunch?

Paul: Yes, I try to take a short break, maybe 15–20 minutes. I might take a
short walk outside or just relax on the sofa. It helps me clear my head
before going back to work.

Emily: Do you do anything specific during your break?

Paul: If I have time, I might read a book for a few minutes, or sometimes I
just listen to music. It's important to rest your eyes from the computer
screen.
Emily: After the break, it's back to work. What do you usually do in the
late afternoon?

Paul: In the late afternoon, I often finish tasks that I started in the
morning. Sometimes I research new ideas for the channel. My work usually
ends around 5:00 or 6:00 PM.

Emily: What about you, Emily?

Emily: Similar hours for me. I try to wrap up my main tasks before the end
of the day. Sometimes I have to send last-minute emails or organize my
files. The afternoon can fly by very quickly.

Paul: It really does. So that’s our work part of the day. But life is not just
about work, right?

Emily: Absolutely. It's important to have time for other things too. So, Paul,
after work, what do you usually do in the evening?

Paul: After work, I like to relax. First, I might change my clothes into
something more comfortable. Then I usually prepare dinner. I enjoy
cooking in the evening.

Emily: What about you, Emily? Do you cook dinner every night?

Emily: Most nights, yes. I like to cook a proper meal for dinner. Sometimes
I try new recipes, which is fun.

Paul: What do you like to do after dinner?

Emily: After dinner, I usually watch TV for a bit — maybe a movie or a TV

show. Sometimes I listen to a podcast — not ours, another one. And
sometimes I play a game on my computer or phone.

Paul: Do you watch a lot of TV, Emily?

Emily: Not a lot, but I enjoy a good show or movie. Sometimes I also read
a book in the evening. I like to read before bed.

Paul: Do you have any hobbies that you do in the evening?

Emily: Yes, I sometimes play the guitar. It's a nice way to relax and be
creative. And sometimes I talk on the phone with my family or friends.

Paul: What about you, Emily? Do you have any special evening activities?

Emily: I like to take a walk if the weather is nice. It's good to get some
fresh air. And sometimes I practice my Spanish. It's fun to learn a new
language, even in the evening.

Paul: That’s great. So as the evening gets later, what do you do to get
ready for bed?
Emily: I usually get ready for bed around 9:00 or 10:00 PM. I brush my
teeth again, wash my face, and put on my pajamas. Then I might read for
a little while in bed.

Paul: I usually take a warm shower before bed. It helps me relax and sleep
better. Then I put on my pajamas. Before I go to sleep, I sometimes plan
my day for tomorrow quickly in my head.

Emily: That’s a good idea. Do you have a specific time you like to go to
sleep?

Paul: I try to go to sleep around 10:00 or 11:00 PM. I like to get at least
seven or eight hours of sleep. It's important for good health, right?

Emily: What time do you usually go to sleep, Emily?

Emily: I also aim for around 10 or 11. Getting enough sleep helps me feel
good and ready for the next day.

Paul: And then the cycle starts again.

Emily: So, Paul, we’ve talked about our entire day. This is a great way for
our listeners to practice their English, don’t you think?

Paul: Absolutely, Emily. It’s very practical. You can talk about your day
using simple verbs in the present tense. For example:
"I wake up,"
"I eat breakfast,"
"I go to work."

Emily: And you can also use words like “first,” “then,” “after that,” and
“finally” to put your actions in order. For example:
"First I wake up. Then I brush my teeth. After that I make coffee."

Paul: Exactly. And don’t be afraid to use new words you learn. If you learn
“stretch,” try to use it when you describe your morning.
The more you use new words, the easier it becomes to remember them.

Emily: You can also talk about how you feel during the day: “I feel tired in
the morning,” or “I feel happy when I finish work.” These are simple but
effective phrases.

Paul: And don’t be worried about making mistakes. Everyone makes

mistakes. The most important thing is to practice.

Emily: You can practice by speaking to yourself or to a friend, or even

writing it down. Writing about your day in a small notebook is a fantastic
idea.
You can write about your morning, afternoon, and evening. It helps you
remember the words and structure.
Paul: And you can even talk about what you didn’t do. For example, “I
didn’t watch TV today,” or “I didn’t cook dinner.”
This adds more variety to your sentences.

Emily: So talking about your day is a perfect way to use many common
English verbs and vocabulary related to daily life.
It’s something you do every day, so you have lots to say.

Paul: Exactly. Think about your routine: What do you do? What do you
eat? Where do you go? What do you feel? All these questions help you
build sentences.

Emily: And remember, you can start small. Just describe your morning for
now. Then when you feel comfortable, add the afternoon and then the
evening — bit by bit.

Paul: Well, Emily, this was a great chat about our day. I hope our listeners
found it helpful and inspiring.

Emily: Me too, Paul.

Notes on Grammar:

 Use simple present tense for habits: Subject + adverb + verb (e.g.,
"She usually wakes up at 7:00.").

 For questions: Adverb + do/does + subject + verb? (e.g., "Do you

always cook dinner?").

 Negatives: Subject + adverb + don't/doesn't + verb (e.g., "I rarely

don't relax in the evening." → Better: "I rarely relax.").

Exercise 3: Sentence Building with Sequencing, Adverbs, and

Simple Present

Instructions: Use the prompts to build full sentences in simple present

tense. Include a sequencing word (first, then, after that, finally) and an
adverb from the chart. Make it a routine paragraph. Draw from Dialogue
2's work-from-home examples.
 1. Morning / wake up / 7:00 / stretch / always / first.

2. Afternoon / have lunch / 1:00 PM / go out to eat / sometimes / after

that.

3. Evening / finish work / go home / then / cook dinner / usually.

4. Night / watch TV / read a book / before / go to bed / often / finally.

5. Daytime / work on computer / take a break / go for a walk / rarely /

during meetings.

Answer Key (Examples):

1. First, I always wake up at 7:00 and stretch.

2. After that, I sometimes have lunch at 1:00 PM and go out to eat.

3. I finish work, then I go home and usually cook dinner.

4. I often watch TV before I read a book and finally go to bed.

5. I rarely work on the computer without taking a break to go for a walk

at 7:00 and stretch. After that, I sometimes have lunch at 1:00 PM
and go out to eat. I finish work, then I go home and usually cook
dinner. I often watch TV before I read a book and finally go to bed. I
rarely work on the computer without taking a break..." Extension:
Add a question to your paragraph: "Do you often go for a walk?"
Discuss answers in groups.

Exercise 4: Error Correction and Adverb Upgrade (Grammar Focus)

Instructions: Fix the grammar errors in these sentences (simple present

tense issues or wrong adverb placement). Then, upgrade by changing the
adverb to one from a different % level in the chart. Use opposites or
contrasts from the dialogues (e.g., "start work" vs. "finish work" in
Dialogue 3).

1. She wake up early and always stretch. (Fix: Tense; Upgrade: Change
"always" to 30-50%.)

2. I sometimes checks emails before I has breakfast. (Fix: Subject-verb

agreement; Upgrade: Change "sometimes" to 80-90%.)

3. He don't never cook dinner after work. (Fix: Double negative;

Upgrade: Change "never" to 60-70%.)

4. We finish work, then relaxs on the sofa usually. (Fix: Spelling/tense;

Upgrade: Change "usually" to 10-20%.)
 5. Do you always goes to bed at 11:00? I reads a book first. (Fix:
Question form and tense; Upgrade: Change "always" to 0%.)

Answer Key (Fixes and Upgrades):

1. She wakes up early and always stretches. → Upgrade: "She wakes up

early and sometimes stretches." (30-50%)

2. I sometimes check emails before I have breakfast. → Upgrade: "I

usually check emails before I have breakfast." (80-90%)

3. He never cooks dinner after work. → Upgrade: "He often cooks

dinner after work." (60-70%)

4. We finish work, then relax on the sofa usually. → Upgrade: "We finish
work, then rarely relax on the sofa." (10-20%)

5. Do you always go to bed at 11:00? I read a book first. → Upgrade:

"Do you never go to bed at 11:00? I read a book first." (0%)
Extension: Create an opposite sentence: "I always start work early,
but I never finish before 5:00." Relate to your job or family routine.

Exercise 5: Personalization and Adverb Sorting (Vocabulary +

Grammar Application)

Instructions: Sort the adverbs from the chart by frequency (0% to 100%).
Then, write 5 sentences about your own daily routine using each adverb
once, plus vocabulary like "have meetings" or "wash the dishes." Include
sequencing words.

Adverbs to Sort: never, sometimes, usually, always, rarely, often.

Answer Key (Sorting): never (0%), rarely (10-20%), sometimes (30-

50%), often (60-70%), usually (80-90%), always (100%). Example
Sentences:

 I never wake up before 6:00 AM. (0%)

 I rarely take a shower in the evening. (10-20%)

 First, I sometimes stretch, then I get dressed. (30-50%)

 After work, I often cook dinner for my family. (60-70%)

 I usually have lunch at 1:00 PM with colleagues. (80-90%)

 Finally, I always read a book before I go to bed. (100%) Extension:

Share your sentences in pairs. Ask: "Why do you rarely/often do
that?" (Promotes open discussion on work-life balance.)
