Task 16. Read the following text to have an idea of the daily routine men have in the army.
In the Royal Welsh Army
Due to the nature of the job your daily routine will always be different but in camp the average day starts at about 08.00am. The day may start with general duties or sport. No two days are the same.
After a shower and breakfast you will move on to training, this could be learning new skills such as driving, Fieldcraft, firing weapon systems and may include maintaining infantry skills, communications, field craft, drill, map reading and shooting. The average day finishes at about 4.30 pm.
Meals are served in the Regimental Restaurant. The chefs provide a high standard of food with a choice of hot dishes or salads and you are guaranteed to have food provided 3 times a day, every day, with no need for cooking or cleaning. All you have to do is turn up.
When you are on exercise or operations these timings are obviously a lot more flexible and the days can be much longer. However, everyone enjoys the deployments because you are able to put into practice your skills.
In addition you will receive extra pay and allowances and be reimbursed your food and accommodation charges.
The single soldiers are normally accommodated in their own en-suite, (this is dependant on location and Operation) one-man room; you are responsible for keeping your room clean and tidy. You can layout your room, as you wish, your living space is very much a personal thing. TV, Telephone and Internet connections are in most room, but you will be responsible for the bills if you want to make use of these facilities.
There are six rooms in every flat and you will live here with your colleagues. Each flat has a kitchen, sitting room, storeroom and laundry room. The Regimental Recruiting teams run regular visits for potential recruits to come and see the Regiment. It is free, and there is no obligation to take things further if you don’t want to.
Task 17. In the text below there is information about the possibilities of adding exercise into daily life. What would you choose for yourself?
Add exercise into your daily life
We all know we should add exercise into our daily lives, but when it comes to actually doing it, we all have our excuses, but it all boils down to one thing.
"I don't have the time."
That doesn't have to be the case though. There are things we can do every day to add a little exercise into our lives without taking away from everything else that we already do. And better yet, none of them require a gym membership. Just try to use the following:
consider skipping the car as often as possible. When running to the carry out down the street or the neighbour’s house, leave the car at home, and just walk.
pick a parking spot in the back of the lot. That extra walk will add a quick burst of physical activity into your daily life.
take the stairs as much as possible, even if its only upstairs at your house, and skip the escalator at the mall.
take a walk during your lunch break. How many of us finish out lunch, and then spend the rest of our break gossiping with co-workers or checking email? Get up and get started on a quick walk. Even if its only for a few minutes, its still exercise.
If you're really looking to add some serious exercise without giving up any time, consider adding physical activities to your daily routine.
work out while in the shower; add some squats or dead lifts while waiting for your deep conditioner to take effect, and you can keep singing too!
instead of calling your co-worker with a question, take the time to walk across the office and ask the question in person. Plus it will help keep you updated on that gossip you missed at lunch.
get your friends involved. Try replacing a drink after work with a long walk where you can catch up with each other.
work out during commercial breaks. Do a few squats while the ads are running, or better yet keep a set of barbells next to the television and do curls. Having them there will be a constant reminder to add some exercise.
if you are only buying a few things at the grocery store, grab a basket and skip the cart. Make sure you alternate which arm you use to carry the basket.
take periodic breaks. For every 30 minutes you spend sitting in front of the television or typing on the computer, get up and walk around the room.
Task 18. Do you know the daily routine of the Indians? Read the following article and you’ll get to know how one Indian remained happy in America using his authentic daily routine.
