1. Will you change your daily routine in the near future?

I am going to change my daily routine in the near future. I am about to travel to a new part of the country to study at university. When there（到时候），my entire daily routine will change as it will be structured (组织、安排）around my studies. I will have a completely new study, eating and exercise routine. For young people, our daily routines change frequently as our lives progress and we develop. In contrast, older people have normally developed a fixed daily routine that they are used to and are happy with. Therefore, for older people their daily routines do not change very often.

2. What’s the difference between people’s daily routine in the past and that in the present?

In the modem world，people’s daily routines are far different to people’s daily routines in the past. In the past peopled daily routines would involve a lot of transactions with the local community. People would buy their daily groceries (生活用品）for cooking meals from local markets and spend time with their families. Nowadays, modem life is a lot busier and people are often a lot more isolated. Therefore, peopled daily routines are focused more around themselves and their own self betterment (改善）.People’s routines are focused more around their work and studies than on the local community.

3. Has your daily routine changed? And how?

My daily routine has changed a lot in my life. When I was a child I had very little control over my daily routine. For most people, while you are a child, your life and daily routines are planned by your parents. Thus，my eating routine and exercise routine were all dictated (决定）by my parents. When I left home my daily routine changed to fit my new lifestyle. I left home to study at university and adjusted my daily routine to fit my new study life. I slept later in the day and ate quicker meals so I could dedicate (致力、奉献)more time to my studies. This is very common for students, they must alter their daily routines drastically (彻底的）to fit the needs of university life.

4.What do you usually do on weekends?

On the weekends I like to spend my time relaxing after a long week’s hard work. During the weekends I will usually cook myself my favourite meals and watch some of my favourite television shows. In the late evening I like to spend my time reading books and listening to music. Some people, especially young people, like to go out at the weekends and experience the night life of the city. This is another exciting way to reward oneself after working all week. It is important to spend your free time on recreation and relaxation. If you work all of the time then you will become stressed and this can be very bad for one’s  health.
