A day in the Life of Mr Mike

by
Mike Richmond

I wake up at seven o’clock in the morning. I always like to get up early so I can get ready

for my day. I go into the bathroom and wash my face. Then I brush my teeth. After that I feel ready to start the day. I go back into the bedroom.

I get dressed. First I put on my shorts, next I put on my t-shirt. Then I go downstairs to the kitchen and I have some breakfast. I usually eat some toast and drink a cup of tea or coffee.

I leave the house at about 8 o’clock. I often walk to work but sometimes I ride my bike to work. If it’s raining I drive to work so I don’t get wet!

I arrive at the Enfield Centre, Leeds City College, at 8:20. I spend the next hour preparing for the day and checking my e-mails on my computer. I also print any work that I need for my lessons. My first class starts at 9:30 and finishes at 12:30. I love teaching English. My students are always so interesting and keep me very busy.

At about 12:30 I quickly eat my lunch as I only have a 30 minute lunch break. Then, at one o’clock, I go back to the classroom and teach another lesson. At four o’clock it is time to go home but I usually leave work at about 4:30. I arrive home at a quarter to five in the afternoon.

In the evening I listen to the radio in the living room...

or talk to my wife and ask her about what she did today.

After an hour or two we go downstairs to the kitchen and we start to prepare the dinner. I usually do the washing up and my wife cooks the dinner. She likes to cook lots of different recipes. My wife is a very good cook. She can cook food from many different countries.

After dinner I like to drink some beer and relax.

At about 11 o’clock it’s time for bed. I go upstairs and get into bed. I read a book and soon I fall asleep after a busy day...
