Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr. English Channel.

I'm Emily.

And I'm Paul.

So happy to be here with you all today.

Yes, it's great to have you back with us.

And today we have a super fun and helpful topic for all our English learners out there.

We're going to talk about something we all do every single day, our daily routine.

Oh, I love this topic.

It's so practical and full of everyday English.

Before we dive in, please,

if you're enjoying our podcast,

and give us a big thumbs up.

It really helps us a lot.

Absolutely.

Your support means the world to us.

So for today's episode, we have a special guest.

Well, not a real guest,

but we're going to listen to the story of someone named Sarah.

She's going to tell us all about her daily routine.

Ooh, I'm excited.

We'll listen to Sarah's story,

and then Emily and I will chat about it,

breaking down some of the English she uses and giving you some extra tips.

Exactly.

It'll be a relaxed chat,

almost like we're just talking about our day.

So, without further ado, let's listen to Sarah's daily routine.

Hi everyone, my name is Sarah,

and I'm happy to share my daily routine with you.

I usually get up at around 6 more in the morning.

The first thing I do is turn off my alarm,

and then I stretch in bed for a few minutes.

After that, I get out of bed and go to the bathroom to have a shower.

After my shower, I dry myself and get dressed.

I usually choose comfortable clothes for the day.

Then, I go downstairs to the kitchen and make breakfast.

I usually have a bowl of oatmeal with fruit and a cup of tea.

While I eat breakfast, I often read the news on my phone.

After breakfast, I wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen.

Then, I brush my teeth and put on a little makeup.

Around 7.30 a.m., I leave the house to go to work.

I usually take the bus,

which takes about 30 minutes.

I arrive at work at 8 a.m and start working immediately.

I usually work on my computer and attend meetings throughout the morning.

Around 12 o'clock, I have lunch with my colleagues in the cafeteria.

We usually chat and relax during our lunch break.

After lunch, I go back to work and continue my tasks until 5 o'clock.

When I finish work, I go back home by bus.

Sometimes, if the weather is nice, I walk home.

When I get home, I usually feel tired,

so I relax on the sofa for a while.

Sometimes, my friend comes over and we talk or watch a movie

Other times I cook dinner for myself I like to eat dinner around 7.30pm After dinner,

I usually wash the dishes again and then I might read a book or watch some TV Before bed,

I always brush my teeth again and get ready for bed I usually go to bed around 10 or 10.30pm

That's pretty much my daily routine.

Wow, that was Sarah's day.

What a routine.

Yeah, that's a busy day.

I liked how she started,

Hi everyone, my name is Sarah,

and I'm happy to share my daily routine with you.

It's a nice simple way to introduce yourself and what you're going to talk about.

Very clear.

Absolutely.

And then she immediately jumps into the morning,

saying, I usually get up at around 6 in the morning.

This phrase, get up, is super common for waking up and getting out of bed.

We use it all the time.

Right.

And notice she says, at around six.

That around is useful.

It means not exactly six,

maybe five minutes before or five minutes after.

It's an approximation.

Good word to know.

Yes, and what's the very first thing she does?

The first thing I do is turn off my alarm.

Ah, the alarm clock.

That's a universal experience, isn't it?

Turn off means to make it stop,

like turning off the light.

Yep, that noisy alarm.

And then she says, and then I stretch in bed for a few minutes.

Oh, I love that.

Stretching is great.

Stretch means to extend your body, make it long.

It feels good.

Mmm, yes, it does.

And then, after that, I get out of bed.

So, get up is waking up,

and get out of bed is physically leaving the bed.

Two different but related actions.

Exactly.

And she goes to the bathroom to have a shower.

We say have a shower or take a shower.

100

Both are correct and very common.

101

Okay, so after her shower,

102

Sarah says, I dry myself and get dressed.

103

So dry myself means to use a towel, right?

104

And get dressed is to put on clothes.

105

Simple, but important actions.

106

Yeah.

107

And she says, I usually choose comfortable clothes for the day.

108

Good choice, Sarah.

109

Comfort is key.

110

Choose means to pick, to select,

111

and comfortable means feeling good, not tight, not itchy.

112

Definitely.

113

Then I go downstairs to the kitchen and make breakfast.

114

Go downstairs means going to a lower floor in a house,

115

and make breakfast is to prepare food for breakfast for breakfast.

116

You can also say, cook breakfast or prepare breakfast.

117

Oh, and her breakfast.

118

I usually have a bowl of oatmeal with fruit and a cup of tea.

119

Mmm, sounds healthy.

120

Have here means to eat or drink.

121

So you can have breakfast, have lunch, have dinner.

122

And a bowl of oatmeal.

123

Oatmeal is a type of hot cereal made from oats,

124

Very common breakfast food.

125

Yes, very common.

126

And while I eat breakfast,

127

I often read the news on my phone.

128

While means at the same time.

129

So eating and reading the news simultaneously.

130

And on my phone.

131

We often say on for electronic devices when we're using them for information.

132

Like on the internet, on my computer.

133

After breakfast, she says, I wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen.

134

Important chores.

135

Wash the dishes is to clean the plates, cups, and forks.

136

And tidy up means to make a place neat and organized,

137

like putting things back in their place.

138

Yes, tidy up is a great phrase.

139

You can tidy up a room, tidy up your desk.

140

Then I brush my teeth and put on a little makeup.

141

Brush my teeth is for oral hygiene, very important.

142

And put on makeup means to apply cosmetics to your face.

143

Right.

144

And then, around 7.30, I leave the house to go to work.

145

So, leave the house is to exit your home.

146

And to go to work is her destination.

147

And how does she get there?

148

I usually take the bus,

149

which takes about 30 minutes.

150

So, take the bus means to use the bus as transport.

151

And, takes about 30 minutes tells us the duration of the trip.

152

Takes here is about time.

153

That's a good point, Paul.

154

We often use take when talking about how long something lasts.

155

For example, the movie takes two hours.

156

So, Sarah arrives at work.

157

I arrive at work at 8 and start working immediately.

158

Arrive at means to reach a place.

159

And start working immediately means she begins her tasks right away with no delay.

160

Wow, she's very prompt.

161

She is.

162

And she says, I usually work on my computer and attend meetings throughout the morning.

163

So work on my computer means she uses her computer for work tasks.

164

And attend meetings means to go to and participate in meetings.

165

Throughout the morning means all during the morning, from beginning to end.

166

Good phrase, throughout.

167

And then around 12, I have lunch with my colleagues in the cafeteria.

168

Again, have lunch, meaning to eat lunch.

169

And colleagues are people you work with, your co-workers.

170

And a cafeteria is a place where you can buy and eat food.

171

usually in a workplace or school.

172

Yes.

173

And what do they do during lunch?

174

We usually chat and relax during our lunch break.

175

Chat means to talk in a friendly, informal way.

176

And relax means to rest and feel calm.

177

A lunch break is a period of time during the workday when you stop working to eat lunch.

178

After lunch, I go back to work and continue my tasks until 5.

179

go back to work means she returns to her job

180

and continue my tasks means she keeps doing her work responsibilities tasks are duties

181

or pieces of work that need to be done and then

182

when I finish work I go back home by bus finish work means to complete your work for the day

183

and go back home is to return to your house.

184

She still takes the bus.

185

Yes, but then she says,

186

Sometimes, if the weather is nice, I walk home.

187

Ah, a little change of pace.

188

If the weather is nice means if it's sunny and pleasant outside.

189

And walk home means she goes home on foot, not by bus.

190

That's a great option if the weather is good.

191

I like that.

192

So, when I get home,

193

I usually feel tired, tired,

194

so I relax on the sofa for a while.

195

Ooh, I can relate to that.

196

Get home means to arrive at her house.

197

And feel tired is how she feels — sleepy, without energy.

198

So she relax on the sofa,

199

she rests on the couch.

200

For a while means for a short period of time.

201

Yep, that's me, after work.

202

And then she has some social time.

203

Sometimes my friend comes over and we talk or watch a movie.

204

Comes over means a friend visits her at her house.

205

And talk or watch a movie are common activities with friends.

206

Yes, very nice.

207

And other times, I cook dinner for myself.

208

So, cook dinner means to prepare the evening meal.

209

And for myself means she cooks only for her, no one else.

210

She likes to eat dinner around 7.30.

211

Again, around for an approximate time.

212

After dinner, I usually wash the dishes again.

213

Ah, yes, the dishes again.

214

And then I might read a book or watch some TV.

215

Might here means maybe.

216

It's a possibility.

217

So she might do one or the other or both.

218

Yes, might is a good word for possibilities.

219

And before bed, I always brush my teeth again and get ready for bed.

220

So another brushing of the teeth.

221

Good dental hygiene, Sarah.

222

And get ready for bed means to prepare to go to sleep,

223

like putting on pajamas.

224

And finally, I usually go to bed around 10 or 10.30.

225

Go to bed means to go to sleep.

226

And she gives a range of times, 10 or 10.30.

227

And then, that's pretty much my daily routine.

228

Pretty much means almost, mostly.

229

So that covers most of her typical day.

230

What a great summary of a day.

231

Sarah's routine is so clear,

232

and she used so many common English phrases we use every single day.

233

Agreed.

234

It's fantastic for learners because it's a real-life example.

235

We heard so many verbs related to actions.

236

Get up, turn off, stretch,

237

get out of bed, have a shower,

238

dry myself, get dressed, go downstairs,

239

make breakfast, wash the dishes,

240

tidy up, brush my teeth,

241

put on makeup,

242

leave the house take the bus arrive at work start working

243

attend meetings have lunch go back to work finish work get

244

home relax comes over talk watch a movie cook dinner read a book get ready for bed go to bed

245

whoo that's a lot phew that's a lot

246

247

Yes, daily routines are a fantastic way to practice your English because they involve so many common verbs and actions.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
