Daily routine Hello there Emily! I hope you are doing well. This time I am going to tell you about my daily routine. I wake up at 6am. I set 2 alarms the last night because I like to sleep a lot. After I get up I drink a glass of water with lemon for my good digestion. Sometimes I have fruits for breakfast, another times I only have eggs and some bread. I don’t make up myself, so I just get dressed and comb my hair quickly After that I turn on my pc to study almost all morning long, because I have piano lessons at 11. After I finish my class at 12, I head to my house to meet with my cousins and have lunch with them in a nearby restaurant. Once I have a little rest and brush my teeth, I study simplified Chinese from the internet for about two hours before 4 pm, which is the hour when I go to my French lessons by walking, it lasts 2 hours and after that I head home again. The first thing I do when I arrive home is to get dressed with my pyjama and have dinner while I watch TV. After that I tend to read or message to my friends or family either. I go to bed around 10:30, I can usually fall sleep immediately. I would like to know about your daily routine. My best regards, Valeria

Daily routine

Hello there, Emily!

I hope you are doing well.
This time I am going to tell you about my daily routine.
I wake up at 6am. I set 2 alarms the last night before, because I like to sleep a lot. After I get up I drink a glass of water with lemon for my good digestion. Sometimes I have fruits for breakfast, another times I only have eggs and some bread. I don’t make up myself, so I just get dressed and comb my hair quickly. 
After that I turn on my pc to study almost all morning long, because I have piano lessons at 11. After I finish my class at 12, I head to my house to meet with my cousins and have lunch with them in a nearby restaurant. Once I have a little rest and brush my teeth, I study simplified Chinese from the internet for about two hours until 4 pm.   This is the hour when I walk to my French lessons, which lasts 2 hours, and then after that I head home again.
The first thing I do when I arrive home is change into my pajamas and have dinner while I watch TV. After that I tend to read or message to my friends or family either.
I go to bed around 10:30, and I can usually fall sleep immediately.

I would like to know about your daily routine.
My best regards, Valeria

For the sentence that begins with "Once I have a little..." I am really just offering stylistic suggestions, as it was a little unwieldy to me, and I think it flows better if you break it up into two or three sentences.  You can say "before", but I find when you break up the sentence, "until" sounds better.    Likewise, you can include "the hour", but to my native ears, I prefer the simpler flow of leaving it out.  

I am in the U.S., so we use "pajamas" rather than the U.K. "pyjamas."

If you want to include "either", the placement will depend on your meaning, but will not be at the end.  If you mean that you "either" read or message, but not typically both, the put "either"  right after "tend."  You may say "I tend to read, or I message either my friends or family " if you do not typically message both friends and family on the same night.
