I often work in one of senior high school in Semarang. A large number of student come from the other cities. They live in boarding school. Every morning they go to school at 6.45 am until 14.30 pm. Their schedule is busy. We speak English everyday. Miss Ine is an English teacher. She always supports them to practice English. Of course, she creates not only an English Club but also the English Area. Everybody always communicate English language in daily conversation.
In this forum I implement simple present tense in this conversation. Do you think that it is right ? Please, correct me.
Hi Renny,
I’m not your teacher, but I have some questions and some ideas for you after reading your little story. By the way, I want to apologise to Mr. Torsten, Mr Raft for my daring.

why do you use “often” in the first sentence?
What is the “senior high school”?
Miss Ine is an English teacher or a teacher of English?
You must note that ONE OF / A NUMBER OF+ pl.N (one of the boarding schools in the city./ a large number of students)
Everyday they go to school at 6.45 am and come home at 14.30pm. OR Everyday they have to be at school from 6.45am to 14.30pm.(?)
I’m Meera. I live In the United Arab Emirates. My favorite hobbies are reading and watching movies. I’d like to read more and more in order to improve my writing. Thus, I make a dialy schedule in summer holiday. I get up early at 6 A.M and have my breakfast. I read many different books. Then, I help my mother in preparing the lunch because she is a traditional woman and she forces me to get into the kitchen to learn how to cook. I check my emails afternoon to read the lessons that Mr Torsen provide and start to practice them. Afternoon, I meet my best friend online and discuss our issues with each other. By the end of the day, I watch the tv and read some usuful books before sleeping.
Build some simple present sentences with the verbs ‘to come’, ‘to go’, ‘to drink’, ‘to get’, ‘to drive’, ‘to know’, ‘to say’, ‘to run’.

Hi Gourdet,
Congratulations. I think your English is getting better as a beginner. Making mistakes and being aware of the correction is a good way to improve yourself. There are some misspelling in your writing and also some phrases that need to be checked in order to be clear. Go ahead, and improve yourself more and more.
Many thanks for your feedback. It’s great to hear you and your frineds like using our forum. I look forward to your next messages.
Best regards,
Torsten[YSaerTTEW443543]

I see that the exercise about present simple is to write some sentences.
Let’s see what comes in my mind now.
I’m unemployed at the moment. I gave up my work some time ago.
And now here are some sentences related to my daily program.
I usually get up at about 9:30 in the morning.
I make my bed and I put on some clothes that I use at home. I have breakfast with my father because he is at home until 11:30.
And than I sit in front of the computer and I start reading my email and doing exercises in English.
I spend almost all my day in front of the computer, sometimes reading or learning and naturally listening to the music.
I think that I finish my sentences for now. Sorry that i’ve used other tenses as well, but it is not easy to write a story using only one tense.
I read some examples of present simple put forward in the forum by some. And I also read your correction one. I saw some sentences which I think is correct but you remade the sentence by putting words like often, everyday. I know we write present simple when we do that thing consistently. Does that mean every present simple tense has to be with those words (often, everyday)?
I get up early in the morning. I drink one glass milk before the breakfast.
I go to office at 9 am daily except saturday and sunday and come back to my home at 6 pm. I drive very slowely becouse I am in learning process.
