Default Mon texte peu élaboré au présent simple.

Hello,

This a short text at Present simple, you can check or give me synonyms of verbs...J'ai souligné les expressions de temps qui appellent le présent simple.

'I always wake up early at 6 PM every morning. I have my breakfast and take a shower.
I usually catch the train at 7 PM (prendre le train= to catch?).
After catching the train, I always buy a newspaper.
The train staff knows me, he always grins at me. (to grin at =sourire, he smiles to me?).
I sit down in the train and begin my reading (reading= une ledture).
I never read the astrology (comment dire les prévisions astrologiques de la journée), but I have sometimes have a look at the weather forecast, because we talk about it on occasion with my colleagues (je ne sais pas dire 'au bureau').
My favorite article is an art critcism, the journalist often describes a book, a play (pièce de théatre) or a movie.
Today, he talks about a book which entitles 'The Earth revolves around the sun' -> C'est un fait..
I think he is a wonderful journalist of art, (art criticsm) -> Feeling donc présent simple.
I seldom read this article on weekends, and rarely talk about it with my colleagues.
At noon I eat lunch with a friend and I often speak about this
article.

J'ai peu de vocabulaire, je ne sais pas dire 'en parler', 'en discuter'. 'Je lis', 'je parcoure le journal'...etc...

Pourriez-vous me dire si l'emploi du présent simple est bon? et pourriez-vous rédiger ce texte en m'apportant des synonymes, en faire un texte plus limpide. J'en apprendrai beaucoup. MERCI BEAUCOUP. Marie.
