Talking about One's Home Routines/Habits

My name is Gabriel. I’m a 12 year old Tanzanian living in Bunda town. I wake up early, at about 6 am, then I brush my teeth and take a bath before quickly having some breakfast. I usually have tea with chapati before riding my bicycle to school at 8 am. I go straight to the assembly ground to hear the morning speech, news and announcements from teachers. After this I go into class before break time at 11am. The school day finishes at 2pm. When I reach home, I have my lunch and rest at 4 until 6. At 7:30, I have my supper before revising my school work. Then at 10 pm, I wish my mother and my father a goodnight before going to sleep.

My Daily Routine

My name is Julie and I live in Ilemela with my aunt. I work as an assistant manager at an electric power company. I normally wake up at 6 am, brush my teeth and take a bath quickly before having tea and vitumbua. Then I go to work, have lunch around noon and continue with work. At 4 pm, I leave work and head back home. When I reach home, I usually find my aunt busy watering the garden. I greet her, have a little rest until 6 when I prepare dinner. We eat at 7:30 and watch some news before going to sleep at 10pm.
