Write about your daily schedule:

Example:

Amelia
I have a very busy day. I get up at 7:15, and I eat breakfast at 7:30. Then I take a shower, get dressed, and I go to work. I teach from Monday to Friday, from 9 to 1. I usually eat lunch around 1:30. I prepare lessons until 5, and then I leave work. I arrive home at 5:30, watch TV until 6:00. I eat dinner and exercise until 10, and then I read a book until 11. Finally, I go to sleep.

What do you do in the morning? What do you do in the afternoon? What do you do in the evening?

Life Skills and Work Skills

Hello my name is Jack and I have life skills and work skills. For life skills, I can drive a car, speak two languages, use a computer, and go shopping. I have a problem, though. I cannot cook very well.

For work skills, I can teach English, write lesson plans, use the internet, and write reports. I cannot fix a car, sell things, or fix a computer. I don't think a salesperson is a good job because I cannot fix a car.

What are your life skills and work skills?

Work

Hi! My name is Jack and I live in Chicago. Now I work as an English teacher. Before I was a pizza delivery driver and a student.

I think a teacher is a good job because I can prepare lessons, use a computer, and teach English. I can speak Spanish and a little Japanese. I think a cook is a bad job because I can't cook food, and I can't work in a restaurant.

What is your job now? What was your job in your country? What is a good job for you? What is a bad job for you?
