● 問題
1. What’s your typical weekday? Use ‘finally’ in your answer.
● 回答
My weekday routine can be described as monotonous. I follow the same schedule the whole time.
I start my day by taking a peek at my mobile phone for any important messages. Then, I rise to switch on my PC to get ready for work. Sometimes, if I wake up too early, I take time to make breakfast for me and my husband, but on most days, we just have brunch. I start work at 6:30 am until 11:00 am. After that, I take a break until 3:00 pm during which I do my house chores or catch some sleep.
Once my work ends in the late afternoon, around 5:00 pm, I begin preparing for supper. My husband and I eat and do the dishes together afterward. Then, either we’d go for a walk, try to watch a movie or catch up on our readings before finally hitting the sack.

(4) Last, we have to get the program, the names of our guests and their background and credentials. (5) If we have all of these, let’s move forward.
