Daily Routines & Habits
In this lesson you will describe your daily routine in Mandarin Chinese: when you get up, what you do in the morning, and the habits you repeat every day. You will use time words and the word for 'every day' to talk about regular activities. The small letters under each word (pinyin) show you how to say it.

阿贝贝住在亚的斯亚贝巴。他每天早上六点半起床。起床以后，他先喝一杯咖啡，然后去上班。中午，他和朋友萨拉一起吃英吉拉。下午他工作，晚上七点回家。回家以后，他看书，也学一点中文。阿贝贝每天晚上十一点睡觉。这是他每天的习惯。
Use 以后 (yǐhòu = after) to link two actions in order: "起床以后" (qǐchuáng yǐhòu = after getting up) then the next thing. And remember 先...然后... (xiān...ránhòu... = first...then...) to put your routine in sequence.
