Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. My Daily Life: When it comes to my daily life, it's as simple as it can get. I start my morning with freshly brewed cup of coffee. Then, I do all the activities I need in the bathroom in order to start my day. I play some music and I try to read for at least 15 minutes everyday. I dress up depending on the weather and I exit my house. I get my breakfast on the way to work, where I spend 8 hours, 5 days a week. My days off are spent in front of the computer, because I am a freelancer as well. When it comes to night time, I always go somewhere with my boyfriend and friends, because I'm a late bird. I would always pick a night out over sleep, and that's where I usually spend my night time.

2. Mayan Daily Life: When it comes to Mayans, their daily life was pretty hectic. They had numerous different jobs, some of them were traders, some of them produced the goods that was sold. They also knew how to use every free moment and that's when they played games, they danced, they were making their writing perfect and they prayed a lot. Their letter was made out of hieroglyphs, where each picture represented its own meaning. They were the most advanced civilization compared to the others. They made numerous books out of wood. They were very interested in astronomy and mathematics. They also had their own calendar which consisted of 260 days, and it was made because they wanted to keep up with all the upcoming religious ceremonies. Their ceremonies consisted of human sacrifices. They also loved instruments and each religious event was accompanied by the flute, drums and trumpets.

3. Comparison: There are many difference because now, compared to before, we have many more options when it comes to both jobs and stuff we do for fun. As driven and imaginative as they were, they would always find something to do when they had free time. Now it's easier to pick a job we want, and switch it to some other later, to do stuff for fun and find something else to do when we get bored. Mayans always had their schedules full and each day made sense and was filled with obligations and fun stuff.
