a brisk walk in the park. I am always in high spirits in the morning, feeling ready for a brand new
day.

Well, it seems that I am up to my ears in work most parts of the day. However, as my part-time

Each day, I have about 3 to 4 different classes to handle, and the job only finishes after 9pm.

Do you usually do the same things at the same time each day?
To some extent yes as I get up for prayer at the same time daily and do cooking in almost same time.

What do you want to change in your daily routine?
My sleeping time I used to hit the sack very late .

Describe an occasion when you got up very early.
You should say:
  • When it happened
  • Why you got up early
  • Who you were with
  • And explain how you felt about getting up early.
 Answer:
Actually, I’m a night owl who usually gets out of the bed quite late, ranging from 9 a.m to 10 a.m every morning. However, there are some occasions that I was forced to get up early, and I still remember the last time that I had to get up early.
In September last year, I was offered the first job in my whole entire life. At that time I was a fresh graduate, thus I had to move to X city to join training sessions at Head Office of the company. Flight ticket was booked by my supervisor. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to book an early flight for me at 6a.m. As I received the ticket information, I was quite anxious about whether I would miss the flight or not. I set off the alarm in my phone, asked my mother to wake me up in time. Finally, I made it, though I felt so sleepy that I fell asleep immediately when I was on the plane. It was such a nerve-racking experience as it was the first time I went on a plane, dealing with all stuffs at the airport in the early morning on my own. Luckily, there were some kind people willing to help me with my suitcase, which made that experience less harrowing to me.
To be honest,As a youngster, I tend to of the habit staying late at nights and get up late, too. However, I think that I should change this custom to get a better health.

Describe your favourite part of the day.
  • when it is
  • what you do then
  • how long this part of a day lasts
and explain why this is your favourite part of the day.


 Answer
This is an interesting topic for me to talk about. I would like to share with you about my favorite part of the day. . In contrast, evening is the part of the day that I love the most.
To me, evening starts at, 5pm everyday. After that, it’s my choice to do anything I want. There is no fixed things for my evenings, I just keep an open mind and do what I want.
For example, in some evenings, I would ask my friends out for a meal, a movie or a coffee. We can have time to share with others anything we want, or just to keep us updated about others. In some other evenings, when there are some interesting seminars, I would definitely join and listen carefully to speaker’s sharing. When I am moody or tired, I would prefer a private time in my own room, turning on soft music, and reading books or just let my mind free. To some people, the way I enjoy my evenings is wasteful as they believe that I can do more useful things. However, to me, those kinds of evenings help me to refresh myself & recharge my energy, thereby making my life more enjoyable.
