What's first?

Order the paragraphs of this composition 

  • Some of my friends think I have a boring daily routine, but I like it. I usually get up at about 6:00 or 6:30 in the morning, after my alarm clock wakes me up. First, I brush my teeth and shave and wash my face. Then, I get dressed and go downstairs to have breakfast with my family. I always have coffee, cereal, and lots of fruit.
  • I take a bus to work because I don’t like to drive, and I always arrive at my office before 8:00. I’m never late for work. Five o’clock is my favorite time of the day because I finish work and go back home and see my wife and children again.
  • I have two boys, Thomas, who is six years old and Patrick, who is eight. We eat dinner together in our dining room at around 6:00, and after that I hang out with my wife and kids at home. We really enjoy watching our favorite TV programs together. We like to watch shows about travel.
  • However, two or three times a week I do exercise in the evening, so I can stay strong and healthy. I think that this is very important! Finally, at about 9:30, I go to bed, read for a while, and then fall asleep. Sure, some people think my daily routine is a little boring – but on weekends and holidays I love to fly airplanes … for fun! It’s my favorite hobby.
