Speaking Test – Part 1 – Daily Routine
Topic: Daily Routine
Q. What would you like to change in your daily routine?
Answer: Spending too much time in watching too much television after coming back from my work has become like a daily routine to me for the last several months, and I would really like to change it. It is not that only my wife dislikes this terrible routine, I also dislike it a lot because this extra television watching habit/routine doesn’t allow me to have enough sleep at the end of the night.
Q. Are all your days the same?
Answer: No, all my days are not the same just like a day in the winter time and a day during the summer season are not the same. And, as a result, I remain happy some of the days while “not-so” happy during the others. Also, some days, I become very productive at my work while some other times, I only wish that I could be more “productive.”
Q. Tell me about your typical weekday and your typical weekend.
Answer: My typical weekday starts with paying little “tribute” to my “Goddess” mother (which I do every day regardless of the weekday or the weekend). Then after taking my shower and breakfast, I hit the road in my motorbike to go to my work and arrive there at around 9 am. I finish my work at around 6 pm and then go to a nearby and local market place to buy some fresh groceries and meats/fishes. By the time, I return home, it is almost 8 pm in the evening. I finish my meal after that and immediately start watching TV and continue watching it until I go to bed after midnight most of the days.
My weekends are pretty much the same as the weekdays except I don’t go to work on the weekends. Of course, sometimes, during the weekend, I do take my wife and family out to a nearby park or restaurant to enjoy some quality time together.
Q. What is the balance of work/study and free time in your normal day?
Answer: I like to believe that my work life and free time for leisure and other activities in a normal day is pretty balanced since I almost always have enough time at my disposal, after my work hours, in order to interact with my family members and attending other important things, like doing grocery shopping and worshipping at temples.
