MY DAY I want to tell you about my daily routine. Every day I usually get up at half past 8 in the morning. I make my bed. I just don’t like when my room is messy. Then do some exercises. Usually I take a shower in the morning. I go to the bathroom where I wash my face and brush my teeth. After this I do not feel sleepy at all. I feel full of energy and ready for the new day. Then I make breakfast for myself. I usually have porridge‚ omelet or pancakes and a sandwich with tea for breakfast
