英语访谈对话 388 Routine

 　　Hi, I'm Mike and this is my daily routine¹. I get up early every day, around 6:30 and I go to the gym for a work-out before I go to work. I usually do aerobic² exercise for awhile and then do some weight lifting for maybe half an hour at the gym, then I'll return home, and as I work from my home, I turn on my computer and start working on what needs to be done. I usually skip breakfast and I'll work until about 12:00 then I'll prepare lunch and have a fairly³ big lunch because I don't eat breakfast. Then after lunch, I'll go back, continue working on Internet or whatever I have to do for work, until about 6:00 when I usually start getting phone calls from friends of mine who live abroad and then in the evenings if I'm not using my time doing things with the Internet or surfing the web⁴, then I'm speaking to people on the Internet or on my phone and that pretty much sums⁵ up my usual daily routine.
