Basic English Paragraph: Daily Routine
Every day has a morning, afternoon, and night. In the morning, I wake up, brush my teeth, and eat breakfast. Then I go to school. In the afternoon, I have lunch and go to classes. After school, I play or do homework. In the evening, I eat dinner with my family. We talk and laugh. At night, I watch TV or read a book. Then I go to bed. This is my daily routine. It is a simple day.
