Task 7. Read the text “Routines” and answer the following questions.
Think about your daily life. Do you follow the same route to work every
day? Do you sit in the same place in class? When you get dressed, do you
always put the same leg or arm in first? You probably do, because we all have
routines in our lives.
Routines save time and energy because you do them without thinking.
That’s why they are so important in the morning when your brain isn’t very
active. Here’s Jo talking about her morning routine.
“Oh yes, I always do exactly the same things. I wake up at seven o’clock
every morning, but I don’t get up till a quarter past seven. I switch on the radio
and listen to the news. Then I go to the loo and I brush my teeth. I have a shower
and dry my hair. Then I choose my clothes and I get dressed. I don’t eat
anything for breakfast. I just have a cup of coffee. Then I go to work. Yes, it’s
always the same.”
Routines are very useful, but they also make you uncreative. So
sometimes it’s a good idea to break your routines. Get out of bed on the opposite
side. Listen to a different radio station. Take a different route to work. Eat
something different for breakfast. Change your routine. You never know, it
could change your life.
