Hello, and welcome back to Talk Sophia.
2
I'm Jack.
3
And I'm Emma.
4
We're here to help you improve your conversational English in a fun and natural way.
5
That's right.
6
Today we're talking about daily routines.
7
This is super important because when you meet new people,
8
they often ask about your day or your schedule.
9
It's one of the most common conversation topics in English.
10
Exactly.
11
Whether you're talking to a colleague at work,
12
making new friends, or even doing a job interview,
13
knowing how to describe your daily routine clearly is really useful.
14
Plus, it helps you practice basic present tense,
15
which is the foundation of English.
16
So if you find this video helpful,
17
please give it a thumbs up.
18

22
Alright, let's get started with today's conversation.
23
Hey Jack, how are you doing today?
24
Hi Emma.
25
I'm feeling pretty good actually.
26
A little tired but good.
27
I stayed up late last night watching a movie.
28
Oh really?
29
What movie?
30
It was an old comedy.
31
I can't even remember the name now.
32
I just kept watching because I couldn't sleep.
33
How about you?
34
How are you today?
35
I'm doing great.
36
I had a really productive morning.
37
I woke up early, went for a run,
38
and had a nice breakfast.
39
So I'm feeling energized.
40
Wow, you're making me feel lazy.
41
A run in the morning?
42
I can barely get out of bed.
43
It's not easy, but once you start, it feels good.
44
So what did you do this weekend?
45
Anything interesting?
46
Well, Saturday was pretty relaxing.
47
I slept in until almost noon, which was amazing.
48
Then I met some friends for lunch.
49
We went to that new burger place downtown.
50
Have you been there?
51
Not yet, but I've heard it's good.
52
It's delicious.
53
After that, I just went home and played video games for a few hours.
54
Very exciting life, right?
55
Hey, relaxing weekends are important too.
56
Sunday, I visited my parents.
57
We had a big family dinner.
58
My mom made her special pasta.
59
That sounds nice.
60
I love family dinners.
61
Speaking of daily activities and schedules,
62
that actually connects perfectly to today's topic.
63
You're right.
64
We're talking about daily routines today,
65
and I think this is something everyone can relate to because we all have our own routines,
66
even if they're very different.
67
Exactly.
68
Some people are morning people,
69
like Emma, and some people are,
70
well, not morning people, like me.
71
So, Jack, let's start from the beginning of the day.
72
What time do you usually wake up on a normal weekday?
73
Oh, that's a tough question to start with.
74
I usually wake up around 7.30 in the morning,
75
but I don't get out of bed until maybe 7.45 or even 8 o'clock.
76
Why do you wait so long?
77
I hit the snooze button.
78
You know, that button on your alarm clock that gives you 10 more minutes of sleep.
79
I hit it at least three times every morning.
80
Jack, that's not good for you.
81
I read that hitting snooze actually makes you more tired during the day.
82
I know, I know.
83
But it feels so good to sleep those extra few minutes.
84
What about you, Emma?
85
What time do you wake up?
86
I wake up at 6 o'clock every morning,
87
and I get up immediately.
88
I don't hit snooze.
89
6 o'clock?
90
That's so early.
91
How do you do it?
92
Well, I go to bed early, too.
93
I usually go to bed around 10 or 10.30 at night,
94
so I get about 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep.
95
That's enough for me.
96
I go to bed late,
97
usually around midnight or sometimes even one in the morning.
98
That's why I can't wake up early.
99
You should try going to bed earlier.
100
It might change your life.
101
Maybe.
102
So what's the first thing you do after you wake up?
103
The very first thing?
104
I turn off my alarm, of course.
105
Then I open the curtains to let the sunlight in.
106
After that, I drink a big glass of water.
107
It helps wake up my body.
108
Water first thing in the morning?
109
I go straight to coffee.
110
Coffee is good, but water is better for you first.
111
Then I make my bed.
112
It only takes two minutes,
113
but it makes me feel organized and productive.
114
I never make my bed.
115
I just leave it messy until night when I sleep again.
116
Why make it if you're just going to mess it up later?
117
Because it sets a good tone for your day.
118
When your room looks neat, you feel more motivated.
119
Anyway, after I make my bed,
120
I do some light stretching for about five minutes.
121
Stretching in the morning?
122
Yes.
123
It wakes up your muscles.
124
You should try it.
125
Then I get dressed and go for my morning run.
126
I usually run for 30 minutes,
127
from about 6.30 to 7.
128
30 minutes of running before work?
129
Emma, you're a superhero.
130
I can barely walk to the bathroom in the morning.
131
Stop exaggerating.
132
It's not that hard once you build the habit.
133
What do you do after you finally get out of bed?
134
Well, let me think.
135
After I get up, I go to the bathroom,
136
I brush my teeth, wash my face, and take a shower.
137
That's the most important part of my morning because the shower wakes me up.
138
How long is your shower?
139
Maybe 15 to 20 minutes.
140
I like long, hot showers.
141
They help me think and plan my day.
142
20 minutes?
143
That's a long time.
144
I take quick showers, maybe 7 or 8 minutes.
145
Really?
146
How do you shower so fast?
147
I don't waste time.
148
I just wash and get out.
149
But Everyone is different.
150
So after your shower, what do you do?
151
Then I get dressed.
152
I usually spend way too much time deciding what to wear.
153
I stand in front of my closet for like 10 minutes.
154
10 minutes?
155
Just to choose clothes?
156
I can never decide.
157
Should I wear the blue shirt or the gray one?
158
Should I wear jeans or pants?
159
It's a real struggle every morning.
160
That's funny.
161
I prepare my clothes the night before,
162
so I don't have to think about it in the morning.
163
That's actually a smart idea.
164
I should do that.
165
Okay, so after I get dressed,
166
I go to the kitchen.
167
First, I make coffee.
168
I can't function without coffee.
169
How do you make your coffee?
170
I have a coffee machine.
171
I just put in a coffee pod,
172
press a button, and wait.
173
It's very easy.
174
While the coffee's making, I usually check my phone.
175
I look at messages, emails, news.
176
I try not to check my phone first thing in the morning.
177
It can wait until after breakfast.
178
That's probably healthier, but I'm addicted to my phone.
179
Then I make breakfast, but it's usually something simple.
180
Maybe toast with butter and jam or cereal with milk.
181
Do you eat breakfast every day?
182
Most days, yes, but sometimes if I wake up too late,
183
I skip breakfast and just grab something on the way to work.
184
What about you?
185
What do you eat for breakfast?
186
I always eat breakfast.
187
After my run, I come home and make a quick shower.
188
Then I make a healthy breakfast.
189
Usually I eat oatmeal with fruits and nuts.
190
Sometimes I add honey.
191
Oatmeal?
192
That sounds boring.
193
It's not boring.
194
It's delicious and gives me energy for the whole morning.
195
I also drink coffee, but I have it with my breakfast, not before.
196
Fair enough.
197
So what time do you leave for work?
198
I leave my apartment at 8 o'clock sharp.
199
My work starts at 9,
200
and it takes me about 45 minutes to get there.
201
How do you get to work?
202
I take the subway.
203
It's fast and reliable.
204
I usually read a book or listen to a podcast during my commute.
205
It's nice, quiet time.
206
I drive to work.
207
I leave around 8.30 because my work also starts at 9.
208
But I live closer.
209
It only takes me 20 minutes by car.
210
Do you listen to anything while you drive?
211
Yeah, I listen to music or sometimes a comedy podcast.
212
It makes the drive more enjoyable.
213
Traffic can be annoying, so I need something to keep me entertained.
214
That makes sense.
215
So let's talk about work time.
216
What do you usually do when you first arrive at work?
217
When I get to the office,
218
the first thing I do is say good morning to my colleagues.
219
Then I go to my desk,
220
turn on my computer, and make another cup of coffee.
221
Another coffee?
222
That's your second one.
223
Sometimes third.
224
I told you I'm addicted.
225
Then I check my emails and make a to-do list for the day.
226
I write down all the tasks I need to finish.
227
That's good.
228
I do the same thing.
229
Making a to-do list helps you stay organized and productive.
230
Exactly.
231
Then I start working on my most important tasks.
232
I try to do the difficult work in the morning when my brain is fresh.
233
Well, as fresh as it can be.
234
That's actually the right approach.
235
So when do you take your lunch break?
236
I take lunch at around 12.30 or 1 o'clock.
237
It depends on how busy I am.
238
Sometimes, if I have a lot of work,
239
I eat lunch at my desk while I work.
240
You shouldn't do that.
241
Lunch breaks are important.
242
You need to rest your mind.
243
I know, I know.
244
But sometimes there's no choice.
245
When I do take a proper break,
246
I usually go to a restaurant near the office with my co-workers,
247
or I bring lunch from home.
248
What do you usually eat for lunch?
249
It varies.
250
Sometimes a sandwich, sometimes a salad,
251
sometimes leftover dinner from the night before.
252
What about you?
253
I always bring lunch from home.
254
I prepare it the night before or in the morning before I leave.
255
Usually I bring a salad with chicken or a rice bowl with vegetables.
256
You're so organized.
257
I wish I could be like that.
258
It just takes practice and habit.
259
After lunch, do you feel sleepy?
260
Yes, every single day.
261
Around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, I get so tired.
262
I want to take a nap,
263
but I can't because I'm at work.
264
That's called the afternoon slump.
265
It happens to everyone.
266
I usually drink some tea or take a short walk around the office to wake myself up.
267
I drink more coffee.
268
Probably not the healthiest solution.
269
Probably not.
270
So what time do you finish work?
271
I usually finish at 5.30 or 6 o'clock,
272
sometimes later if I have a deadline.
273
Then I drive home, which takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic.
274
I finish at the same time, around 5.30.
275
Then I take the subway home.
276
When I get home, what time is it usually?
277
About 6.30.
278
And what's the first thing you do when you get home?
279
I change into comfortable clothes immediately.
280
Work clothes are nice, but they're not comfortable for relaxing.
281
I put on sweatpants and a t-shirt.
282
Same.
283
I call them my home clothes.
284
So comfortable.
285
Then I start preparing dinner.
286
I usually cook something healthy,
287
maybe grilled chicken with vegetables or pasta with tomato sauce or stir-fried rice.
288
How long does it take you to cook dinner?
289
About 30 to 40 minutes.
290
I like cooking.
291
I find it relaxing after a long day of work.
292
Do you cook dinner?
293
Sometimes, but I'm not a great cook.
294
My meals are pretty simple.
295
Sometimes I just order food delivery because I'm too tired to cook.
296
Food delivery is convenient, but it's expensive and not always healthy.
297
I know, I know.
298
You're right.
299
When I do cook, I make simple things like spaghetti,
300
fried eggs with rice, or I heat up frozen food in the microwave.
301
Frozen food is okay occasionally.
302
So what do you do after dinner?
303
After I eat, I wash the dishes.
304
I hate washing dishes, but it has to be done.
305
Then I usually watch TV or play video games for a couple of hours.
306
What shows do you watch?
307
All kinds.
308
Comedy shows, action series, sometimes documentaries.
309
It helps me relax and forget about work stress.
310
What do you do after dinner?
311
I also wash the dishes first.
312
Then I have several things I like to do.
313
Sometimes I read a book,
314
sometimes I watch a show,
315
sometimes I call my family or friends to chat.
316
That's nice.
317
Do you do anything else in the evening?
318
Yes.
319
Three times a week I do yoga for about 30 minutes.
320
It helps me stretch my muscles and clear my mind before bed.
321
You really love exercise, don't you?
322
I do.
323
It makes me feel good.
324
I also prepare things for the next day.
325
I pack my lunch, choose my clothes, and organize my bag.
326
That way my morning is less stressful.
327
That's very smart.
328
I should really start doing that.
329
You should.
330
It saves so much time.
331
So, what time do you usually start getting ready for bed?
332
Around 11 or 11.30.
333
I brush my teeth, wash my face,
334
and sometimes take another shower if I feel like it.
335
I start my bedtime routine at 9.30.
336
I like to have a slow, calm evening.
337
I brush my teeth, wash my face,
338
and put on my pajamas.
339
9.30?
340
That's so early!
341
Not if you wake up at 6.
342
I also like to read for 20 or 30 minutes before I sleep.
343
It helps me feel sleepy and relaxed.
344
I usually scroll through my phone in bed.
345
I look at social media,
346
watch short videos, or read articles.
347
That's bad for your sleep.
348
The blue light from your phone keeps your brain awake.
349
You should read a paper book instead.
350
You're probably right.
351
I've heard that before, but it's such a hard habit to break.
352
I understand.
353
So what time do you actually fall asleep?
354
Midnight or later.
355
Sometimes 1 in the morning if I'm really into something on my phone or if I start watching a show.
356
And then you have to wake up at 7.30.
357
That's not enough sleep, Jack.
358
I know.
359
That's why I'm always tired.
360
I really need to fix my schedule.
361
Yes, you do.
362
I fall asleep by 10.30 at the latest.
363
Eight hours of sleep is really important for your health and energy.
364
You're right.
365
Your routine sounds much healthier than mine.
366
But to be honest, I'm not sure I could wake up at 6 a.m every day.
367
It's all about habit it.
368
If you did it for two weeks, it would become normal.
369
Maybe I'll try it someday.
370
But I do want to ask,
371
do you follow this exact routine every single day, even on weekends?
372
Weekends are a little different.
373
I still wake up early,
374
but maybe at 7 or 7.30 instead of 6.
375
And I don't go for a run.
376
I relax more, but I still keep a similar structure.
377
I completely change my routine on weekends.
378
I sleep until 10 or 11,
379
I stay up late, and I don't really plan anything.
380
It's my time to be lazy.
381
Everyone needs rest, but having some structure,
382
even on weekends, can be good for you.
383
True.
384
So, I think we've covered pretty much the whole day,
385
from waking up to going to sleep.
386
We did, and I hope our viewers learned a lot about how to talk about their own daily routines in English.
387
You know, Jack, while we were talking,
388
we used many useful words and phrases that are really important for describing daily routines.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
