DAILY ROUTINES
The topic of Daily Routines explores the range of customary or regular tasks, chores, or duties that are done regularly or at specified intervals, in a typical period of time (day) and in different places.
Students will be offered opportunities to communicate about the topic of daily routine by looking at examples of personal, local, national and global interest in a range of subtopics:
- Daily routine at Home
- Daily routine at School

- Shopping: money, online shopping, shops
- Social interaction: greetings, politeness

Through the treatment of a variety of subtopics, students will also be invited to answer a range of questions in the context of the study of daily routine like the following:
