Model Answer:

This seems to be an interesting topic because frankly speaking, I have never really thought about it before up until this point. So, anyway, do I really have a favourite part of the day? I guess I do, but it all depends on my mood. But, just for the sake of keeping this discussion get going, I would say that I prefer the morning just a little – again, just a little – over the other parts of the day.

Well, morning usually the part of the day when I make all my plans as to what should be done and what shouldn’t be done during the remaining parts of the day. But, before anything, I like to go outside and walk or jog a little so that I can enjoy some fresh air and get a feel as to how the rest of the day is going to be like, as far as the weather is concerned. After that, I take a fresh shower before enjoying some good breakfast and hitting the road in order to go to my office.

By the way, morning usually is the busiest part of the day at my home because we all, including my elder brother, sister in law, younger sister and I myself, either getting ready to start their day or shouting at each other to get some help in getting ready. On the other hands, of course, my parents, both retired, remain busy in their own worlds, either in reading some newspapers or watching some interesting TV programmes.

Anyway, this morning is my favourite part of the day, mainly because I feel positive and energetic, both physically and mentally, to plan and prepare the remaining part of the day. Besides, it is during the morning time when I get to feel the mother nature more closely, with its gentle and fresh breeze blowing on my face. Finally, it is my favourite part of the day because it allows me some extra time to enjoy the things, I like, like drinking some fresh coffee and soaking my body with some mild morning sunshine.
