3. Lección 56: Practice of expressing daily activities and routine

In today's lesson, we will continue practicing expressing activities that we do as part of our daily routine orally.  Also, we will practice writing a small description about our daily routine.

¿Qué haces en un día típico?

En un día típico, yo me levanto a las 7 de la mañana y voy a la universidad.

To express activities that we do, and we get the results of it, we use reflexive verbs (because the result reflects on us). Reflexive verbs allow us to express activities that we do to ourselves, such as waking up, taking a shower, etc.

Primero: first
Luego: then
También: also
Después: after

Preparing your description

a) Think about what activities you do every day and write them down using complete sentences.

For example:

Ir: Yo voy a la universidad.

If you do not know that verb in Spanish, you could use an online dictionary, such as wordreference.com to find out how to express that verb.

b)  Organize your description.
What do you do first, second? You could also mention the time you do those activities.

For example:
- Primero, yo me levanto a las 6 de la mañana. Luego, yo desayuno.

c) Write your routine respecting writing conventions, such as starting your sentences with capital letter, using accent marks and special characters.
