Sample topic: “Describe a routine you have in your life that you enjoy”

• What it is

• How often do you do it

• Is it easy to stick to that routine

And explain how you feel about it

Dàn ý:

So, today I’m going to tell you about a routine of mine, which is to do yoga in the mornings. Well, I don’t do it every morning, but I do try to do it about every second day. On the days that I do yoga, I will try to wake up at around 5am, and then I do a pretty short yoga sequence that I learnt years ago when I used to go to yoga classes. It consists of about 10 or so different yoga poses, nothing too complicated, just the basics really. As I was saying, I try to follow this routine at least 3 to 4 times per week, and by doing so, it helps to keep my body feeling relaxed. And I especially need to do it the day after I play tennis, cause on those days my body is feeling quite sore. Anyway, I wouldn’t say that this routine is easy to stick to. I mean, who wants to get out of bed at 5am right? It’s really tough some days, but I try to convince myself that I will feel much better after doing it, which is usually true. But there are some days when it's really difficult to stick to this routine, especially when it's cold or rainy. On those types of days, it sometimes feels impossible to get out of bed.

So, I do really like this routine, even though it is quite tough to stick to sometimes, but the way that I feel after doing yoga makes the hard work really pay off. I’ve been trying to make this routine become a daily habit of mine for many years, but so far I have not succeeded yet. Sometimes I will go for a month or more without following this routine, but then after a while I will fall back into it, and the benefits of doing yoga will be my motivation to keep doing it regularly

What daily activities do people typically engage in at home?

Well I guess that different people have different routines at home, but I guess there could be a few common routines amongst people. For example, people might have an evening routine which might consist of taking a shower, having dinner, doing your hobbies, and then brushing your teeth before you go to bed. People with kids might have a morning routine, where the kids need to wake up at a certain time, and then have breakfast and get ready at a certain time, and then leave for school at a particular time. And adults might have a similar routine for going to work. People also might have routines about chores they have to do at home, like doing the laundry or cleaning the bathroom on a particular day.

• An evening routine: một thói quen buổi tối.

Ví dụ: Many people may have an evening routine which starts at 7 p.m.

• Wake up at a certain time: thức dậy ở một thời gian nhất định.

Ví dụ: Weekends are the time when we do not need to wake up at a certain time.

• Doing the laundry: giặt đồ.

Ví dụ: My mother hates doing the laundry.

What are some common routines practiced by the elderly?

That’s a bit of a tricky question actually because I don’t really deal with elderly people that much, but I guess they might have more consistent routines around things like medical check ups. Furthermore, many old people tend to get involved in different group activities with other older people, like playing cards, or dancing, or some kind of sport. So they might do one activity on a specific day of the week, and then do another activity on another day of the week.

• Medical check ups: kiểm tra sức khỏe.

Ví dụ: Everyone should have medical check ups at least once a year.

• On a specific day of the week: vào một ngày cụ thể trong tuần.

Ví dụ: I will meet you on a specific day of the week.

How does having a routine benefit students in school?

I think kids usually benefit quite a lot from having a routine around school. By having a routine,  I think they have less distractions, and they are able to focus more on what they are doing, and worry less about their schedules. I think that having some structure and routine around their school work, like having to do homework in the evening, is an excellent idea that helps children learn in a more effective and efficient manner.

•  A more effective and efficient manner: một cách hiệu quả và hiệu quả hơn.

Ví dụ: Thanks to technology, they can improve in a more effective and efficient manner.

• Less distractions: ít mất tập trung hơn.

Ví dụ: John has less distractions since he has his own routine.

• Focus less on: tập trung ít hơn vào.

Ví dụ: They can focus less on that exam if they are well-prepared.
