"During the week my alarm clock goes out at 7am. I wake up, have a quick shower, dry my hairs and get dressed.
I get in the bus at 7:45. Its usually quiet so I can get a seat. Work starts at 9am but I like to arrive early. The first thing I do is take myself a cup of coffee and start reading my emails.
That’s my routine from Monday for Friday. On the weekend I wake up late and have a big breakfast."

1) "Goes out" should be "Goes off". Goes off, in this contentext, means my alarm starts to ring.
2) "Hairs" should be "hair". Hair is a non-coutable noun like grass, rain or snow.
3) "Get in the bus" should be "get on the bus. We use 'get on' for planes, trains and buses. 'Get in' is used for cars and taxis. 4) "Its usually" should be "It's". 'It's' means 'it is'. 'Its'is a pronoun. e.g. "The old car has lost its door."
5) We 'make ourselves a cup of coffee'. We do not 'take ourselves a cup'.
6) 'Monday to Friday' not 'Monday for Friday'. 'From' shows the starting point, 'to' shows the ending point.
