Sample Answers

Do you like getting up early in the morning? I'm not really a morning person, to be honest. I think it's because I'm more of a night owl, and I tend to stay up late to finish my work or watch TV. Waking up early just doesn't come naturally to me, and I need a few cups of coffee to get going in the morning.

What do you usually do in the morning? Well, I usually start my day by checking my phone for any important notifications or emails. Then, I head to the kitchen to make some coffee and maybe have a quick breakfast. If I have time, I'll catch up on the news or scroll through social media to see what's trending. It's a pretty relaxed morning routine, but it helps me wake up and get ready for the day.

What did you do in the morning when you were little? When I was a kid, my mornings were pretty structured. My mom would wake me up early, and I'd get dressed and ready for school. We'd have a quick breakfast together as a family, usually something like cereal or toast. Then, I'd grab my backpack and head out the door to catch the bus. It was a pretty simple routine, but it was effective in getting me to school on time.

Are there any differences between what you do in the mornings nowadays, and what you did in the past? Yeah, definitely. Nowadays, I have a lot more freedom to create my own schedule, so I can sleep in later if I want to. When I was a kid, I had to be up early for school, but now I can take my time. I also have more control over what I eat for breakfast, so I can choose something healthier or more convenient. Overall, my mornings are a lot more relaxed and flexible now.

Is there any difference between what you do on a weekday morning and a weekend morning? Absolutely. On weekdays, I have to be more structured and get ready for work or school, so my mornings are pretty rushed. But on weekends, I can sleep in later and take my time getting ready. I might even treat myself to a bigger breakfast or brunch. It's a nice change of pace from the weekday rush, and it helps me recharge for the week ahead.
