Example of Daily Activity/Routine Task
Yakoba’s Daily Routine Before Pandemi Covid-19
Hi! My name is Yakoba. I’m fourteen years old, I’m Papuan. I am a student at SMK 3
Teknologi dan Rekayasa Jayapura. I live with my family in Jayapura, in Papua Province.
My day usually starts quite early. I always get up at 05.30. When I get up, I go to take a bath
first. After that I comb my hair and get dressed. I usually wear casual clothes, mainly jeans,
shorts, T-shirts and trainers.I always have breakfast with my mom and my little sister, Penina.
My dad seldom has breakfast with us, because he lives and works in Merauke. I usually have
boil banana or cassava and a cup of tea. Before I go to school, I help my mother to wash the
dishes.
I usually walk to school because I don’t live very far. Classes start at 07.30. I like English
best but I’m also good in construction subjects. I have breaks at 11.30 and I have my lunch at
12.00. I sometimes eat rice, vegetables and fish or tempe. School finishes at 3.30. Sometimes,
I come back home by taxi or motorcycles paid by my friends. I take a bath and play with my
sister for a while and then I help my mother to clean the house. I do my homework and read
some books. Once a week, I have a table tennis practice. I love doing sports.
Before dinner, I sometimes meet my friends or watch a TV show. I seldom play android
game. We have dinner at 06.30 and I often set the table. After dinner, I help my sister to do
homework. At 9.30 I go to the bathroom to wash my face, hands and feet, brush my teeth and
put on my nightdress. Before I go to sleep, I surf the Internet for a while or listen to music to
make me feel relaxed.
That’s all my activity starting from waking up till going to bed. Thank you.
