During the day we have a break for lunch. I usually eat in the kitchen with co-workers. Sometimes we play foosball, ping-pong, and video games. Then back to work. I usually leave at 7:15 p.m. After leaving my office I head to downtown where I have dinner with my best friend in our favorite cafe. Then straight from the cafe, I go to the supermarket to buy some food and go home.

In the ranking of the most popular topics in English, a story about a working day takes an honorable second place after a story about oneself. In one of our previous articles, we figured out how to write, now we would like to give you some useful tips on how to write a story about your working day.

Having composed the story yourself, you will remember it better than a story rewritten from somewhere. In addition, you will definitely use a dictionary, thanks to which you will replenish your vocabulary. And of course, self-executed high-quality work brings a lot of pleasure.

The most important rule of this topic is to use time, as you will talk about constant, habitual actions that are repeated from day to day. If you are talking about yourself, then you do not need to add any endings to the verb. You don't need other tenses: past, future. You may also need a turnover.

The second rule - do not forget to indicate the time: what time do you usually perform this or that action. If you forgot how to indicate the time in English, we recommend that you re-read the article,. And one more important point -. Since your story is built on the basis of habitual actions, it will not be superfluous to provide it with adverbs. always, usually, sometimes, every day etc. But do not overdo it and do not forget to respect the word order in the sentence.

To make your story coherent, include phrases and expressions like:

After that...- After that...

Then...- Then...

After breakfast/lunch/dinner ...- After breakfast/lunch/dinner...

When my working day is over ... When my work day ends...

A story about a working day usually begins with a description of morning routines:

wake up- wake up

get up- to get up from bed

get dressed- dress

do exercises- do exercises

go jogging the park- go for a run

Take a shower

shave- to shave

brush my teeth- brush your teeth

wash my face- wash your face

comb/brush my hair- comb

wash and dry my hair- wash and dry hair

do my hair- do styling

Perhaps you have a question: why is there a word before the words hair, face, teeth. The answer is simple: in English, when talking about body parts or personal items, they usually indicate to whom they belong. That is, you can't say I brush the teeth , that would be a mistake.

We also do not recommend that you go into details. Many essays that are presented on the Internet describe in detail the morning toilet: the process of washing, brushing teeth and other places. Choose a few phrases and build sentences with them. Your topic is called "Working Day", but not "My Morning".

After morning procedures, tell us about breakfast:

cook breakfast- make a breakfast

have a cup of coffee/tea- drink a cup of coffee/tea

have sandwiches for breakfast- have sandwiches for breakfast

like healthy food- love healthy food

After breakfast, you can tell how you get to school/work:

I leave home...- I leave the house at...

get to work/school by bus/underground- get to work/school by bus/subway

drive to work- go to work by car

If your school/office is close to home, you can indicate this:

As my school/ office is not far from my home, I walk to school/ to work.- Since my school/work is not far from my house, I go there on foot.

If someone gives you a ride, use the expression give a lift(bring up). Here you have to add the ending -S / ES to the verb:

My father gives me a lift to school. My dad drives me to school.

My husband gives me a lift to work. My husband drives me to work.

It doesn't hurt to also indicate how long the trip takes you:

takes twenty minutes/one hour to get to my school/ to my office.- The road to the school / office takes twenty minutes / hour.

If you are a pupil or student, include information about how your studies are going:

Every day I have five lessons.- Every day I have five lessons.

We have lectures and seminars.- We have lectures and seminars.

We have English lessons every day.- We have English lessons every day.

I try to be active and attentive at the lessons.- I try to be active and attentive in class.

I listen to the professor and make notes at lectures.- I listen to the teacher and write lecture notes.

If you go to work every day, tell us about your responsibilities, what do you do at work:

I work with computer. My responsibility is to make calculations.- I work with a computer. My duty is to do the calculations.

I meet with clients and partners at work.- I meet with clients and partners at work.

My working day finishes at five o'clock.- My working day ends at five o'clock.

So I switch off my computer and leave the office at five.- So I turn off the computer and leave the office at five o'clock.

On my way home, I buy some food in the supermarket.- On the way home, I buy food at the supermarket.

Every evening I go to the gym to do some exercises.- Every evening I go to the gym and work out.

I often meet my friends after work.- I often meet with friends after work.

And the last paragraph of your story will be what you do when you come home:

I arrive home at seven o'clock.- I come home at seven o'clock.

If the traffic is not heavy, I get home at half past six.- If there are no traffic jams, then I get home at half past six.

Here is a list of expressions that you may find useful in describing evening classes:

chat with friends in social networks- chat with friends on social networks
