The Atkins routine | LEVEL 06




How is the Atkins typical day? The day starts very early at Atkins home. Mother Atkins is the first to wake up. When she wakes up the sun hasn't risen yet. She wakes up at 6 a.m. She does't like it but, she has no choice. So, she gets up. She takes a shower, brush her teeth, gets dressed and brushes her hair. It takes her about 50 minutes to be ready to leave for work.

Father Atkins is the second to wake up. He wakes up at 6.20. He also takes a shower, brush his teeth and gets dressed. After that, he prepares milk mixed with chocolate for Elisa and Alice. If he doesn't, they cry a lot.

Georgia Atkins wakes up at 6.30. She takes a while to get up. Sometimes, she sits on the edge of the bed and keeps there, looking at nothing and totally still. Her father hates that. She needs to get dressed to go to school. She doesn't take a shower in the morning. 

Elisa and Alice don't need to wake up. They don't go to school in the morning. They go to school in the afternoon. Alice and Elisa are put on the sofa while Georgia gets dressed. They stay on the sofa until it is time to go.

Mum Atkins is the first to leave the house. She goes to work by bus. Dad Atkins goes to work by car. Georgia goes to school by van. The school's van. The other two girls also go to school by van. But, they go to school in the afternoon. In the morning they stay at their grandparent's house. Georgia comes back from school at 11:45. At 12.40 it is Elisa and Alice's turn to go to school.

Mum Atkins leaves work at 6.10. She takes a bus back home. Actually, she doesn't go back home. She has to pick up the girls first. She arrives at her mother and father-in-law at about 7.20. Sometimes she stays there waiting for her husband to take her and their children home. Other times, she takes another bus  and finally go back home. 

Dad Atkins will be back home at 9.30. They will have dinner and, finally, they will get through the last part of the day. 

There's one thing that can't be left out of the routine.  It is the bed time story. So, the day ends with a nice story read by Mr. Atkins. Everybody goes to bed. Everybody sleeps. Tomorrow is another day.

BASKING

If you bask in the sunshine, you lie somewhere sunny and enjoy the heat. A cat was basking on the window sill. We sat basking in the warm sunshine. Lizards were basking in the morning sun. Basking on the balcony, Granny can still keep an eye on the children. We lay on the beach, basking in the warmth of the hot sun. I never minded basking in my wife's reflected glory .
