Here I would like to talk about a daily routine that I enjoy and look forward to.

What it is?
My daily routine begins with waking up early, usually around 6:30 am. I then make myself a cup of coffee and spend some time reading the newspaper or listening to the radio.

After this, I will typically run around my neighbourhood and return home to shower and get dressed. I then have breakfast with my family and spend some time catching up on emails or any other tasks I need to do. After this, I will usually go to work or school, depending on the day. 

Where and when you do it? 
My daily routine usually takes place in my home but can also take place in other locations such as my workplace or school. As mentioned before, I usually begin my routine around 6:30 am, which typically ends around 8:00 pm when I go to bed. 

Who do you do it with? 
I usually do my daily routine alone, but I sometimes do it with my family. This is especially true for breakfast when my family and I come together. 

Explain why you enjoy it.
I enjoy my daily routine because it helps me stay organized and productive throughout the day. Having a routine helps me stay focused on my tasks and goals for the day, and it also helps me stay motivated.

Additionally, I enjoy spending time with my family during the morning breakfast, and the physical activity from my morning jog helps me stay in shape. 

Conclusion:
Overall, my daily routine is something that I look forward to each day, and it helps me stay on track.

IELTS Speaking Part 3 : Follow up Questions

Here some examples of follow up questions that you may asked during your speaking part 3 by examiner related to cue card “describe a daily routine that you enjoy”.

1. Should children have learning routines?
Yes, of course, they should have learning routines. These add discipline to life. When children follow routines, they learn to manage time. I believe all routines teach something, so it can be a learning experience. For example, a simple family meal routine can teach children many things when they share their day’s happenings with their parents. They learn many social skills and develop a bond with their family. A routine of going to bed in time can develop children’s mental health.

2. What are the advantages of children having a routine at school?
There are many advantages of having routines at school. It gives students a predictable day at school. So, they feel more confident and secure. It also saves time. They don’t have to ask questions about what to do next. Teachers have already streamlined things for them. It becomes easier for students to become focused and attentive.

3. Does having a routine make kids feel more secure at school?
Definitely yes. For younger children, a routine engages them in learning and helps them feel safe in their environment, while it helps older children know what to expect and feel more comfortable. This is why classroom routines are important.
Routines in the classroom make class time more enjoyable and productive. They offer students a sense of stability. By having classroom rules and procedures that teachers set, their students will know their expectations.

4. How do people’s routines differ on weekdays and weekends?
Weekdays and weekends are totally different, so their routines are also different. Weekday routines are good, but on weekends people can afford some flexibility. Of course, a person should also plan weekends. Otherwise, they will disappear without giving you any time for fun and relaxation. A weekend should relax a person after a busy week and also set him up for a successful week ahead. The weekend should incorporate family time, cinema time, outing time, socialising time and all that cannot be done on weekdays.

5. What daily routines people have at home?
People have daily routines like a family meal, a morning prayer, household chores together, etc. Every family has routines set up, makings things easier for all members. For example, ,my father buys vegetables, fruits and groceries in my family, while my mother does the cooking and laundry. Before going to bed, my father checks if all doors, windows and the main gate are locked. I take my dogs out for a walk twice a day. These routines are more or less fixed.

6. What are the differences in people’s daily routines now and 15 years ago?
Life was slower and simpler in the past. People spent less time on social networking sites than in the past, so they had more time to socialise. Routines included being with other people. Today’s routines are more about spending time with oneself and technology.
