0Hi Marius and Clive02br
02br
00I've posed this question because a teacher thinks 'mundane' is not the correct word in the sentence.02br
02br
00I would like to hear from other native speakers.0-

0 I agree with Clive that you 01i00could 02i00say it, but I would not normally use "mundane" to describe a day; more for what happens in the day. A mundane activity, for example. I don't know how demanding the teacher is, to say that it's "incorrect".0-

0 Well, it's an "educated" adjective, perhaps a bit "pretentious" to some who don't like "cultivated" words, and you would not use it that frequently, but here it is at the New York Times:02br

00So what is the verdict? Is "It's a mundane day" okay? Do you recommend it as the first sentence in a composition?0-

0I would not recommend it if your teacher doesn't like it05002br
02br
00 Otherwise, I feel it's as good a beginning as any, but see the above. Do you want to draw reader's attention a bit (use mundane) or not (use ordinary)? 010id1

00As the teacher is not a native speaker, I would prefer to write, "It's a mundane day", but today is not a mundane day to me. I have been very busy, even right now.0-
