ESSAY WRITING
WRITING ACTIVITY – My Day, My Story
Every person has a daily routine. A routine is what we do every day at home, at school, and with our family or friends. Even simple activities—like waking up, eating breakfast, or playing after school—help show who we are and how we live.
Central Idea: A simple day can tell the story of a person. Imagine you are talking to a new classmate who wants to know about you. What would you say about your day? What do you usually do from morning to night?
Write a short paragraph to answer the question:
- Who are you and what is your daily routine like?
- In your answer, you should:
- Introduce yourself (name and age).
- Describe what you do every day using present tense verbs.
- Use simple prepositions such as in, on, at, to, from, with, after.
- Talk about your routine in the morning, at school, and at night.
- Use simple everyday expressions such as wake up, get ready, go to school, have fun, go to bed.

| My name is Daniel and I am eleven years old. I live in a small city with my family. My day starts early. I wake up at 6:30 in the morning and get ready for school.
After breakfast, I go to school with my friends. We study many subjects in the classroom. My favorite class is science because I learn about animals and space. After school, I go home and eat lunch with my parents. Later, I do my homework in my room. When I finish my homework, I play video games with my brother or ride my bike in the park. At night, I have dinner with my family and talk about our day. Before bed, I read a book in my bed and relax. Then I sleep and get ready to start the day again. |
… | Hi! I am Lucas and I am a middle school student. I live in an apartment with my parents and my dog. Every day I start the day at seven o’clock. I get up, brush my teeth, and eat breakfast in the kitchen.
Then I go to school by bus. I sit with my best friend and we talk about games and cartoons. We study math, English, and history during the day. After school, I go home and relax for a few minutes. I usually play soccer in the park with my friends. It is a lot of fun. At night, I eat dinner with my family and watch TV in the living room. Before I go to bed, I check my school bag and get ready for the next day. My routine is simple, but I enjoy it every day. |
