LET'S PRACTICE! 📝
Direction: Talk about your weekly routine using the adverbs of manner and frequency.
Example:
My company has a flexible work setup so I don't have to go to the office regularly. But recently, I go there more often to make preparations for an important launching event. On days when I don't go to the office, I usually wake up late, especially when I don't have any meetings scheduled. Before I begin my work, I always make sure to have a cup of brewed coffee as it helps me work productively. I typically start working at 10 am. In the morning, I have to meticulously review the designs created by our graphic artists before submitting them to our manager. In the afternoons, I devote my time responding to clients inquiries and requests. On weekdays, I often walk my dog to a nearby park.
Now, it's your turn.
How often do you sleep late?
