What to do in your free time is a simple and very familiar topic.
2
However, in this video we will learn a few other aspects about the topic of free time
3
and how to express it in English.
4
What do you do in your free time?
5
Laura over here hi Bella how are you never better
6
and you I'm good have you been waiting for me for
7
long no I just came did you come here straight from work yes a long day you know you look so tired.
8
Well, of course.
9
Who is not tired of after 9 to 5?
10
True, but I haven't worked 9 to 5 for so long.
11
I forgot that feeling.
12
You won't want to get back?
13
Yep, but how does your day go?
14
Well, I start a normal morning by working up at 7 a.m., washing my face, brushing my teeth,
15
having breakfast at home and going to work at 8 a.m.
16
Yeah, a typical morning, right?
17
Yes, simple one.
18
You prefer to have breakfast at home, don't you?
19
Yes, but sometimes when I'm in a hurry, I will buy breakfast on the way to work.
20
Yeah, and then?
21
Work finishes at 5 p.m.
22
I leave work and go to the supermarket to buy food for dinner.
23
Wow, then cook, wash dishes, have a shower.
24
Does it eat up all your free time in the evening?
25
No, actually my free time is from 8 to 10.30pm.
26
What do you do during those two hours and a half?
27
It depends on my mood, but normally I watch movies and listen to music. And not normal?
28
I learned something new.
29
Wow, you deserve respect.
30
Why not?
31
For example, learn how to sing, draw, lots of different interesting things to learn.
32
You're right, but to be honest, whenever someone mentions learning or studying, I feel tired.
33
Yeah, I can imagine.
34
Do you go to sleep at 10 30 pm?
35
Yes, but like 15 minutes before sleep time, I usually read a book.
36
How do you feel about that life routine?
37
Sometimes I feel a bit boring, but I'm also feeling thankful because I still have time for myself.
38
You're right.
39
Enjoy this precious time.
40
You may not have much free time when you get married and have kids.
41
Aw, man.
42
That future is still too far for me.
43
I know.
44
I just mean enjoy the moment.
45
Thanks.
46
What do you do when you have too much free time?
47
Hi, I'm Hannah.
48
Thank you for coming to our podcast today.
49
Hi, Hannah.
50
It's so nice to be here today.
51
Before we start our podcast, I want to introduce our guest today, Skylar Howell.
52
Skylar, can you introduce a bit about yourself?
53
Hi, I'm Skylar.
54
I'm working as a freelancer and have achieved some great success with my work, making nearly $400,000 last year.
55
That's very impressive, though.
56
However, today we won't go deep about your success story, but we want to talk about your time management.
57
Okay, interesting.
58
I've heard many successful freelancers say that they have the same problem, which is that they overwork and mess up their timetable and health.
59
Oh yeah, I guess as a freelance, sooner or later, you will have to face that issue.
60
So how about you?
61
I used to have that period when everything was overwhelming, and it affected my health a lot.
62
How about now?
63
Now, I never work more than 30 hours a week, and I have a lot of free time for myself.
64
And still generating income?
65
Yes, definitely.
66
By building a system and having people work for you.
67
As you mentioned, you have a lot of free time.
68
Do you feel boring? Of course not.
69
If you know how to fill up your free time in the right way.
70
How do you do that?
71
First, pick up a hobby or skill that you want to invest a lot of your time into.
72
Hobby or skill?
73
Yes.
74
For example, even when my work contains a lot of writing, I still write a lot in my free time.
75
Why?
76
Because I love writing, and it doesn't feel like I'm working.
77
And you see, what I write down can eventually benefit me one day.
78
Yeah.
79
Do you have any other hobbies?
80
Yes, I enjoy gardening.
81
Oh, well that's a great hobby.
82
Yes, now I have a small garden full of flowers and trees.
83
It's beautiful.
84
Okay, any other way to fill up your free time?
85
Cooking?
86
I have a lot of time to cook, so why would I not make myself delicious meals, right?
87
I have to admit that spending hours in the kitchen making something nice is very satisfying.
88
Yeah.
89
Also, I'm a fan of video games.
90
You know, do anything as long as it makes you happy.
91
Yeah!
92
How about YouTube and Netflix?
93
I mean, yeah, if you love watching things on those platforms, that's fine.
94
Don't you like it?
95
No, I'm not a fan because it's really wasting time if you have no control of yourself.
96
Yeah, true.
97
Is there anything else you want to share with us today?
98
Yes, the final one is having too much free time isn't really a bad thing.
99
Enjoy it while it lasts and make use of it in a way that makes you feel happy.
100
Thanks a lot for joining us today.
101
We really appreciate it.
102
How much leisure time do you give yourself per day?
103
What are you thinking about, Jill?
104
Uh, nothing.
105
I'm just trying to replan my life.
106
So, how's it going?
107
Uh, not that great.
108
Basically, I'm trying to fix my daily routine.
109
What's wrong with it now?
110
I'm not very productive.
111
Okay, you're trying to make a daily schedule, or what?
112
No, I'm thinking about how much leisure time I should give myself per day.
113
Have you figured it out?
114
Not yet.
115
Something is not right, so I'm kind of confused.
116
To me saying, oh, I have two free time hours, what should I do today to fit that two hour is so weird.
117
Yeah, true. So, any suggestions?
118
I think you overthink a bit.
119
For me, leisure time can be any time I feel relaxed, like having coffee before work in the morning.
120
Yes, but I want to be a bit stricter to myself, you know?
121
In that case, you should schedule a day depending on what the priorities of that day are.
122
Priorities?
123
Yes, then finish them.
124
The time left is your free time.
125
Easy.
126
Sounds nice, though.
127
Right?
128
It's a flexible plan as well, because some days when I need my work done, I can have no free time.
129
And some days you can just lay down chilling for like five hours, right?
130
Exactly, because the goal is being productive, right?
131
As long as you finish what you need to do, you can relax for the rest of the day.
132
Wow, thanks a lot, Mary.
133
Super nice idea you have, and really reasonable.
134
Not at all.
135
I'm just saying from my personal experience.

Schritt-für-Schritt Shadowing-Anleitung
Um das Sprechen im Englischen zu verbessern und die vorgestellten Phrasen effektiv zu üben, kann die Technik des Englisch Shadowing (shadowspeak) äußerst hilfreich sein. Hier sind einige Schritte, um diese Methode anzuwenden:
- Video ansehen: Sehen Sie sich das Video aufmerksam an und notieren Sie sich die Phrasen, die Ihnen wichtig erscheinen.
- Langsame Wiederholung: Spielen Sie das Video in einer langsamen Geschwindigkeit ab und повторно die Sätze laut mit. So können Sie intonationsmuster und Aussprache leichter erfassen.
- Laut nachsprechen: Nutzen Sie die Shadowing-Technik, indem Sie den Dialog nachsprechen, während Sie dem Video folgen. Achten Sie auf Timing und Rhythmus.
- Selbstbewertung: Nehmen Sie Ihre eigene Stimme beim Nachsprechen auf und vergleichen Sie diese mit dem Original. Achten Sie auf Unterschiede in der Aussprache und der Intonation.
- Übung: Wiederholen Sie die Übung regelmäßig, um flüssiger im Englisch sprechen üben. Indem Sie die Phrasen mehrmals wiederholen, festigen Sie diese in Ihrem Gedächtnis.
Durch kontinuierliche Anwendung des shadowspeaks können Sie nicht nur Ihre Aussprache verbessern, sondern auch Ihr Selbstvertrauen im Umgang mit alltäglichen Themen wie Freizeit und Hobbys stärken. Nutzen Sie diese wertvollen Kenntnisse, um aktiv am Gespräch teilzunehmen!
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.
