Text : My day
Some of my friends think I have a boring daily routine, but I like it. I usually get up at about
6:00 or 6:30 in the morning, after my alarm clock wakes me up. First, I brush my teeth, and shave, and wash my face.
Then, I get dressed and go downstairs to have breakfast with my family. I always have coffee, cereal, and lots of fruit. That’s me in the picture with my wife.
I take a bus to work because I don’t like to drive, and I always arrive at my office before 8:00. I’m never late for work.
Five o’clock is my favorite time of the day because I finish work and go back home and see my wife and children again. I have two boys, Thomas, who is six years old and Patrick, who is eight.
We eat dinner together in our dining room at around 6:00, and after that, I hang out with my wife and kids at home. We really enjoy watching our favorite TV programs together. We like to watch shows about travel. However, two or three times a week I do exercise in the evening, so I can stay strong and healthy. I think that this is very important!
Finally, at about 9:30, I go to bed, read for a while, and then fall asleep. Sure, some people think my daily routine is a little boring – but on weekends and holidays I love to fly airplanes … for fun! It’s my favorite hobby.

Emma's daily routine.
Hi! My name is Emma. I’m ten years old and I’m English. I live with my family in Brighton in the south of England. My day usually starts quite early. I always get up at 7.30 on weekdays, but at the weekends I sleep an hour and a half longer.
When I get up, I go to the bathroom first. I wash my face to wake me up, brush my teeth and then I have a shower. After that I comb my hair and get dressed. I usually wear casual clothes, mainly jeans, shorts, T-shirts and trainers.
I always have breakfast with my mum and my little brother, Tommy. My dad never has breakfast with us because he starts work early on weekdays. I usually have a bowl of cornflakes with hot milk and toast with marmalade. Before I go to school, I have to walk our dog, Leo.
I usually walk to school because I don’t live very far. Classes start at 8.30. I like Maths best but I’m also good at Science and English. I have two breaks, at 11 and at 1 o’clock. I eat a sandwich and drink orange juice. I also play with my classmates in the playground. School finishes at 3.30 and my dad picks me up and we come back home by car. Then we have lunch together.
After lunch I play with my brother for a while and then I do my homework and study. Twice a week I have a basketball practice. I love doing sports.
Before dinner I sometimes meet my friends or watch a TV quiz. I seldom play computer game, I simply find them boring. We have dinner at 7.30 and I often set the table. After dinner I read a book or surf the Internet for a while.
At 9.30 I go to the bathroom to have a shower, brush my teeth and put on my nightdress. Before I go to sleep I listen to music on my MP3 player because it makes me feel relaxed.

Gap year
Do students in your country go directly to university or college after school or do they have a break first? Taking a gap year between school and uni is quite common in the UK, and there are lots of different ways to spend your time.
What is a gap year?
A ‘gap year’ is a period of time, usually an academic year, when a student takes a break from formal education. It is often spent travelling or working.
Why?
People used to think that taking a gap year was negative. In the past you took a gap year if you had to retake exams or had problems between finishing school and starting higher education and then starting a career. But now, universities positively encourage a gap year, and employers are happy to give jobs to students who take a gap year. A year out between school or college and higher education or employment, or between higher education and a job, can give young people useful learning experiences, help them pick up new skills and make them more independent. Employers and universities want to see evidence of enterprise, maturity and commitment both in and outside formal education.
When?
Young people in formal education usually take a gap year when they are about eighteen years old, before going to university. They can also be taken at a different time, for example, by someone who wants to break up their degree course or to do something different before a postgraduate course.
Where and what?
Many gap year students choose to do voluntary work. This could include teaching in the mountains in Nepal, a conservation project in Madagascar, an expedition in Costa Rica or an internship in Japan. There are plenty of gap year volunteer work options to choose from. There is also voluntary work closer to home for British students - both geographically and culturally - including the UK, Europe and North America.
Popular gap year activities for young people looking for adventure include surfing in Hawaii, wake boarding in Italy, kite surfing in Egypt or bungee jumping in New Zealand.
Lots of gap year students just want to see more of the world. According to the British government’s Gap Year website, the top 5 gap year travel destinations for 2011 were Tibet, Indonesia, Taiwan, Eastern Europe and Canada.
What about money?
Most students who are planning a gap year take on a part-time job to save up for the trip. Some young people look for work when they get to their destination if they need to earn money to pay for accommodation, food, etc. Popular jobs include bar work, fruit picking and being a tour guide. A gap year doesn’t have to be a full year traveling or having adventures. Some students travel for three or six months then work for the rest of the year.
Organizing a gap year
Because the gap year is so popular and needs to be cheap, travel companies now offer structured gap packages where your entire trip is worked out for you. There are three main categories of a structured gap year activity:
Expeditions, often with a conservation element and usually to developing countries
Courses to learn a skill such as a language or something that they can later teach others to do, for example windsurfing
Voluntary work in the UK and abroad.
An African experience
Julie Taylor graduated from Hull University in 2010. She now works as a manager in an international company. Julie tells us about her gap year:
During my gap year, I taught in a primary school in Kenya. I spent 4 months teaching children aged 8 - 18 in English, Art, Physical Education, and I coached the school's netball team. As well as working, I also travelled the country and even climbed Mount Kenya. The trip was one of the best experiences of my life. I’m very happy that I didn’t head off to university straight after school because I learnt a lot about myself in my year out. I was able to get by on very little money and to deal with problems without the support of my family and friends.
My trip to Africa also looks great on my CV. I worked to save up for the trip which showed my employer that I had good self-motivation and organisational skills, which are essential in any job. My interviewers were really interested in how I managed to teach classes of 88 children (with lots of enthusiasm and promises of netball after class!). Employers see that climbing to an altitude of 4,985m up Mount Kenya shows self-motivation, strength and determination. Not everybody can put that on their CV.
The future
The British government has recently put up tuition fees for university degree courses. Students may have to pay up to £9000 a year for their education.That’s a big increase! How will these changes affect the gap year for future British students?
