Unit 2: B1 Reading Assignment—Everyday Life
A Day in the Life of Lisa
Hello! My name is Lisa, and I’d like to share what a typical day in my life looks like. I wake up at 6:30 in the morning. After getting out of bed, I brush my teeth, take a shower, and get dressed. For breakfast, I usually have yogurt with granola and a cup of tea.
I leave my house at 7:30 and take the bus to work. My workday starts at 8 o’clock, and I spend the morning answering emails, attending meetings, and working on various projects. At 12:30, I take my lunch break. I usually go to a nearby café with my colleagues and have a salad or a sandwich.
In the afternoon, I continue with my work, which often includes more meetings and collaborating with my team on different tasks. I finish work at 5:30 and take the bus back home. Once I get home, I like to relax by watching TV or going for a walk in the park.
In the evening, I help my partner prepare dinner. We usually eat around 7 o’clock and enjoy dishes like grilled chicken with vegetables or pasta. After dinner, we clean up the kitchen together and then spend some time watching a movie or reading.
Before going to bed, I like to unwind by reading a book or meditating. I try to go to sleep by 10:30 so I can get enough rest for the next day. That’s a typical day in my life!
