So, Jack, how are you today?

I'm excellent, thank you, Emma.

I feel really good today.

And how are you?

I'm great.

I had a very nice weekend, so I'm still feeling happy.

Oh, that's good to hear.

What did you do this weekend?

On Saturday, I visited a new cafe in my neighborhood.

I had a very big, very delicious piece of chocolate cake.

Chocolate cake for breakfast?

No, no, it was for lunch.

Well, it was my lunch.

Cake for lunch is sometimes OK, right?

I think that is a perfect idea for a Saturday.

I love cake.

daily schedules.

Okay.

I love routines.

Well, sometimes I love routines.

But every day is a little different, right?

That's true.

But we have a basic plan for most days.

Let's start with the morning.

What time do you usually wake up on a weekday, Jack?

Like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday?

On a weekday, I usually wake up at 7 :00.

My alarm clock rings and I get up.

But I don't get up immediately.

I stay in bed for five minutes.

Oh, I understand.

You need time to open your eyes.

Yes, exactly.

What is the first thing you do after you get out of bed?

The first thing?

I always open the window.

I like to feel the fresh air.

Then I walk to the kitchen and drink a glass of water.

That's a healthy habit.

I always drink a big glass of water, too.

Then I make my bed. that is very organized.

It is a small thing, but but it makes me happy.

A tidy bed makes the room look nice.

What about you?

Do you make your bed?

Me?

Well, sometimes.

But not always.

I am a little lazy in the morning.

After water, I need coffee.

I really need coffee.

I understand completely.

I need coffee too.

I usually make coffee at about 7 :15.

Same for me.

I have a coffee machine.

I press the button and wait.

The smell is wonderful.

It is the best smell in the morning.

Do you eat breakfast?

Yes, I do.

I always eat breakfast.

I usually eat breakfast at around 7 :45.

I eat toast with butter and jam.

Sometimes I eat cereal with milk.

It's easy and fast.

I eat breakfast too.

I like yogurt with fruit.

Or sometimes just a banana and a piece of cheese.

I don't have much time in the morning.

A banana is good.

So after breakfast, I get ready for work.

I go to the bathroom and take a shower.

Me too.

I take a shower every morning.

It helps me wake up.

I sometimes listen to music in the shower.

That's fun.

I listen to the news on the radio.

It's a little boring, I know.

After my shower, I brush my teeth and get dressed.

What kind of clothes do you wear for work?

I work from home, so I usually wear comfortable clothes.

Jeans and a t -shirt, for example.

What about you?

I work in an office, so I wear different clothes.

I wear a shirt and trousers.

Sometimes I wear a tie.

It is more formal.

I see.

So, what time do you leave your house for work?

I usually leave my house at 8 :30.

My work starts at 9 :00.

And how do you get to work?

I take the bus.

100

The bus stop is very near my house.

101

It takes about 20 minutes.

102

That's not too bad.

103

Do you do anything on the bus?

104

Yes.

105

I listen to music.

106

Or I read a book.

107

Sometimes I just look out the window and watch the people and the cars.

108

That sounds nice.

109

I work from home, so I just walk to my desk in the other room.

110

It is very convenient.

111

Oh, that is nice.

112

You don't need a bus or a car.

113

You save a lot of time.

114

It's true.

115

So let's talk about the work day.

116

What do you do at work, Jack?

117

What is your job?

118

I work in a small office.

119

I am an assistant.

120

I answer emails and the telephone.

121

I write reports for my manager.

122

I also have meetings with my team.

123

Are the meetings interesting?

124

Sometimes they are interesting, sometimes they are a little long.

125

But I like my team.

126

They are friendly.

127

That's good.

128

Do you have a lunch break?

129

Yes, I do i have lunch at about 12 30 it is one hour Sometimes I bring my lunch from home, That is nice.

130

Yes, it is.

131

Sometimes I go to a small cafe near my office with my colleagues.

132

We eat soup or a salad.

133

What do you usually drink for lunch?

134

I always drink water and sometimes I drink more coffee after lunch.

135

Always more coffee.

136

I usually have lunch at one o 'clock.

137

I go to my kitchen and make a simple meal, a sandwich or some rice with vegetables.

138

Do you watch TV during your lunch break?

139

Sometimes I watch a short video on my computer, but usually I just eat quickly and then go back to work.

140

I finished work at five o 'clock.

141

My work also finishes at 5 :00.

142

That is the best time of the day.

143

I feel free.

144

It is.

145

So the workday is finished.

146

Now we have the evening.

147

What do you do after work?

148

Well, it depends on the day.

149

On Monday and Wednesday, I go to the gym.

150

I exercise for about one hour.

151

That's great.

152

What do you do at the gym?

153

I sometimes run on the treadmill.

154

I lift weights.

155

It helps me feel less sleepy after work.

156

It gives me energy.

157

I understand.

158

On Tuesdays, I go to a yoga class with my friend.

159

It is very relaxing.

160

We stretch and breathe slowly.

161

That sounds nice.

162

I need to try yoga one day.

163

On other days, I just go straight home.

164

I relax on my sofa.

165

I watch television or I read a book.

166

Me too.

167

I love to read.

168

hobby.

169

What kind of books do you like?

170

I like mystery books.

171

Books with a detective and a crime.

172

They are exciting.

173

What do you like to read?

174

I like love stories and books about travel.

175

They make me happy.

176

Do you cook dinner?

177

Yes.

178

I cook dinner almost every day.

179

I like cooking.

180

It is not very difficult.

181

I make simple food, like pasta or chicken with rice and vegetables.

182

I also cook dinner.

183

I usually eat dinner at 7 :00.

184

What about you?

185

cook, so it takes time.

186

And after dinner, what do you do?

187

After dinner, I wash the dishes.

188

I do not like washing dishes, but it is necessary.

189

I don't like it either.

190

It is my least favorite job.

191

But yes, it is necessary.

192

After that, I sometimes call my family or my friends.

193

I talk to them on the phone.

194

That's a good idea.

195

I often talk to my sister on the phone.

196

She lives in another city.

197

We talk about our lives, our jobs.

198

Do you watch movies in the evening?

199

I like to watch a movie with my wife.

200

We like comedy movies and sometimes action movies.

201

I love comedy movies too.

202

They are the best for relaxing.

203

I also sometimes watch series on the internet.

204

Oh, me too.

205

What series do you like?

206

I like a series about a hotel.

207

It is very funny.

208

The characters are silly.

209

I watch one or two episodes before bed.

210

That sounds good.

211

I will try it.

212

So what time do you go to bed?

213

I usually go to bed at 11 o 'clock.

214

But first, I always do a few things.

215

I brush my teeth, I wash my face, and I read a book for about 20 minutes.

216

It helps me sleep.

217

That is a very good habit.

218

I go to bed a little earlier.

219

I go to bed at 10 :30.

220

10 :30?

221

That is very early.

222

I know, I know.

223

But I like to sleep for 8 or 9 hours.

224

So if I wake up at 7, I need to sleep at 10 :30.

225

That makes sense.

226

I need to try that.

227

But I always watch one more video on my phone, and then I look at the time, and it is midnight.

228

Let's talk about the weekend.

229

Is your weekend schedule different?

230

Oh, yes.

231

Very different.

232

On Saturday and Sunday, I wake up late.

233

I wake up at 9 o 'clock or sometimes 10 o 'clock.

234

No alarm clock.

235

pancakes, eggs, and orange juice.

236

I eat slowly and read the news.

237

I love a big weekend breakfast.

238

So what do you do for fun on the weekend, Emma?

239

On Saturday morning, I often go shopping.

240

I go to the supermarket and buy food for the week.

241

I sometimes meet my friends for coffee in the afternoon.

242

I meet my friends, too.

243

On Saturday afternoon, I often play football with my friends in the park.

244

It is so much fun.

245

Do you watch football on TV, too? Of course.

246

I love football.

247

On Sunday evening, I often watch a football game on television with my friends.

248

We talk and eat snacks.

249

That sounds like a great time.

250

And on Sunday, I usually clean my apartment.

251

I vacuum the floors.

252

I wash my clothes.

253

wash my clothes.

254

It is not fun, but it is important.

255

Yes, very important.

256

I also cook my lunch for Monday and Tuesday.

257

It saves time.

258

That is a smart idea.

259

I need to do that.

260

So our weeks are very busy, but our weekends are for fun and for housework.

261

Yes, fun and housework.

262

A perfect combination.

263

I think so.

264

It is a simple life, but a good life.

265

I agree.

266

and it is good to have a routine, but it is also good to change it sometimes.

267

Sometimes I visit my parents on a weeknight.

268

We have dinner together.

269

That's lovely.

270

So every day can have a little surprise.

271

Exactly.

272

And that makes talking about our days more interesting.

273

We used a lot of useful words today when we talked about our daily schedules.

274

Maybe we can talk about some of them for a minute?

275

That is a great idea, Emma.

276

It's good to practice and remember keywords.

277

Which word should we start with?

278

Let's start with a very important word: usually.

279

We use this word many, many times.

280

Yes, we did.

281

I usually wake up at 7 :00.

282

I usually eat toast.

283

So, what does "usually" mean?

284

usually means something that happens most of the time.

285

It is normal.

286

It is your habit.

287

It is not always, but it is very often.

288

Right.

289

For example, I don't always eat toast.

290

Sometimes I eat cereal, but I usually eat toast.

291

It is my normal breakfast.

292

Perfect example.

293

So learners, when you talk about your routine, you can say I usually.

294

It's a very helpful word.

295

Should we try another one?

296

Yes.

297

Let's talk about the word break.

298

We talked about a lunch break.

299

Ah, yes, a break.

300

This is a noun.

301

A break is a short time when you stop what you are doing.

302

You rest.

303

Exactly.

304

At work, I stop working for one hour.

305

That is my lunch break.

306

At school, students have a morning break to play and talk.

307

You can also use it as a verb.

308

You can say, "Let's break for coffee." That means, "Let's stop working and drink coffee." Good point.

309

So, a break is a pause, a rest.

310

Everyone needs a break sometimes.

311

Our next word is one of my favorites: relax.

312

Oh, yes.

313

After work, I like to relax.

314

What does relax mean, Jack?

315

To relax means to become calm and rest.

316

You are not working, you are not busy, you are comfortable.

317

For example, I relax on my sofa.

318

I relax by reading a book.

319

It is the opposite of work.

320

When you finish work, you want to relax.

321

It is a very important part of the day.

322

It is.

323

OK, let's do another important word.

324

We often say Always.

325

Always is a strong word.

326

It means 100 % of the time.

327

Every time.

328

No exceptions.

329

For example, I always drink a glass of water when I wake up.

330

I do it every single morning without fail.

331

And I always make my bed.

332

It is a habit I never skip.

333

Always means it happens every time.

334

But we have to be careful.

335

We don't use always for everything.

336

For example, I don't always cook dinner.

337

Sometimes my wife cooks, so I don't use always.

338

That's a very good explanation.

339

So "always" is for things you do every single time.

340

Now, what about the opposite?

341

What about sometimes?

342

Sometimes is a great word.

343

It means it happens, but not always and not never.

344

It happens on some occasions.

345

Yes.

346

For example, I sometimes go to a cafe for lunch, maybe one or two times a week.

347

I sometimes watch a movie on a weeknight.

348

Me too.

349

I sometimes call my friends on a weekday.

350

It is not a routine, it is not usually, but it happens.

351

So, to summarize: We have.

352

Usually.

353

Most of the time.

354

Your habit.

355

Break.

356

A short rest from work.

357

Relax.

358

to rest and feel calm.

359

Always.

360

Every single time.

361

Sometimes, on some occasions, but not always.

362

Wonderful!

363

Let's use all five words in one sentence about our day.

364

Jack, can you try?

365

Okay, let me try.

366

I usually finish work at 5 and I always feel happy.

367

After work, I sometimes go to the gym.

368

This helps me relax.

369

Then, I have a dinner break.

370

Excellent.

371

That was perfect.

372

You used all five words.

373

Thank you.

374

I hope our viewers can try to make a sentence with these words, too.

375

You can write your sentence in the comments.

376

That is a fantastic idea.

377

Please try to use one of these words in a sentence about your own day.

378

Well, Jack, that was a very long and, I think, very useful conversation.

379

I think so too, Emma.

380

We talked for a long time about our days.

381

It was great.

382

But now, let's think about what we learned today.

383

Yes.

384

Let's summarize for our viewers.

385

Today, we practiced how to talk about your daily schedule in English.

386

We started with the morning routine.

387

We used phrases like "I usually wake up at" and "The first thing I do is…" That's right.

388

We talked about waking up, making the bed, drinking coffee, eating breakfast, and getting ready for work or school.

389

Then we moved to the day.

390

We learned how to say how we get to work, like I take the bus or I work from home.

391

And we talked about what we do at work or during the day.

392

We used the word break, like in lunch break.

393

After that, we discussed the evening.

394

This is a fun part.

395

We used words like relax, cook dinner, and watch movies.

396

We also compared our weekday routines to our weekend routines.

397

On the weekend, we wake up late, make a big breakfast, and meet friends.

398

And we can't forget the vocabulary we reviewed.

399

We talked about usually, always, sometimes, break, and relax.

400

Those words are so important for describing your habits.

401

They help you tell a better story about your life.

402

Exactly.

403

So, for all of you watching, you now know many sentences to describe your own day.

404

You can talk about your morning, your afternoon, and your evening.

405

you do things and what you usually do for fun.

406

This is a very practical English skill.

407

It is.

408

And now it's time for our favorite part of the video, the part where we talk to you.

409

Yes.

410

We have a question of the day for you.

411

Today's question is, what is your favorite part of the day and why?

412

That's a great question.

413

So, tell us, what is the best part of your day?

414

Is it the morning with a quiet coffee?

415

book.

416

Or maybe it's your lunch break when you talk to friends or maybe it's the weekend.

417

Every person is different.

418

Please tell us in the comments.

419

Write a sentence like, "My favorite part of the day is the evening because I watch TV with my family." Or,

420

"My favorite part is the morning because I eat breakfast." Any reason is a good reason.

421

We read so many of your comments.

422

We love to read them.

423

It helps us know you and learn about your lives.

424

It truly does.

425

When you write in the comments, you are practicing your English.

426

It is a safe place to practice.

427

Don't be shy.

428

Please try to use one of the words we learned today.

429

You can write "I usually" or "I always relax" in the evening.

430

Try it.

431

And, if you read another person's comment, you can say, "Hello !" or "I agree !" It is a friendly community.

432

We are so happy to have this community of English learners.

433

Thank you for being here with us and for practicing every day.

434

Learning a language is a journey.

435

It takes time, but with small steps every day, you will be amazing.

442

Both are great ideas.

Goodbye.

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.
