27
Please don't tell them.

30
I cannot believe this is happening.
31
Let's start the lesson.
32
So, Tom, let's talk about our mornings.
33
What do you do when you wake up?
34
Okay, well, I wake up.
35
And then I look at my phone.
36
For how long?
37
Maybe 30 minutes?
38
30 minutes, Tom!
39
That is a bad habit.
40
It's not that bad.
41
I check the news.
42
I check my messages.
43
You watch funny videos.
44
Okay, yes.
45
Some funny videos.
46
Maybe many funny videos.
47
I knew it.
48
Okay, what about you, Tom?
49
Do you exercise in the morning?
50
I used to, but lately...
51
Not really.
52
You?
53
Yes.
54
I walk for 20 minutes every morning.
55
It is a great habit.
56
I feel so good after.
57
20 minutes of walking Every morning.
58
I could never.
59
You can, Tom.
60
That's what today is all about.
61
Anyone can build good habits.
62
Even you.
63
Even me.
64
Okay, I believe you.
65
Maybe.
66
Alright everyone, before our main lesson, let's look at a grammar point we will use a lot today.
67
Yes, we are going to use the phrase "I always", "I usually", "I sometimes", and "I never".
68
These are called frequency adverbs.
69
They tell us how often we do something.
70
Let me show you some examples.
71
I always drink water in the morning.
72
That means every day.
73
Every single day.
74
Always.
75
I usually go to bed at 10 o 'clock.
76
Usually means almost every day, but not always.
77
I sometimes eat fast food.
78
Sometimes means a few times, not every day.
79
And I never exercise before coffee.
80
That's me.
81
Never.
82
Not one time.
83
We believe you, Tom.
84
So remember: always, usually, sometimes, never.
85
These words help us talk about habits.
86
Let's use them in today's lesson.
87
okay let's learn our vocabulary for today we have eight great words
88
and phrases ready ready let's go the first word is habit
89
h a b i t habit a habit is something you do regularly you do it again and again for example
90
Drinking coffee every morning is my habit.
91
Or, checking your phone at night is a bad habit.
92
I want to share a little story about this word.
93
When I was a student, I had a habit of studying at night.
94
Only at night, never in the morning.
95
Really?
96
Why?
97
Because mornings were for sleeping, Tom.
98
Okay, I understand that completely.
99
But then I changed my habit.
100
I started studying in the morning, and everything got better.
101
My memory improved, my grades improved, everything.
102
Wow!
103
So changing one habit changed many things.
104
Exactly.
105
change your life.
106
Our second word is routine.
107
R -O -U -T -I -N -E.
108
Routine.
109
A routine is a set of habits, things you do in the same order every day.
110
For example, my morning routine is wake up, stretch, eat breakfast, brush teeth.
111
Or, she has a good bedtime routine.
112
She reads, she drinks tea, she sleeps at the same time every night.
113
I also have a routine, but mine is a little different.
114
Tell us, Tom.
115
My routine is wake up, grab phone, watch videos, forget to eat breakfast, run to work.
116
Tom, that is terrible!
117
I know, I know.
118
That's why I'm here - to learn!
119
Everyone, do not copy Tom's routine, please!
120
Word number three is important.
121
It is discipline.
122
D -I -S -C -I -F -L -I -N -E.
123
Discipline.
124
don't want to.
125
For example, "It takes discipline to wake up early every day." Or, "She has a lot of discipline.
126
She never skips her exercise." Discipline is not easy, but it is very powerful.
127
I agree.
128
I really want more discipline in my life, especially in the mornings.
129
Aw, that's a great goal, Tom.
130
I think you can do it.
131
Thank you, Lily.
132
A personal story about discipline: when I started this podcast, I had to record every day.
133
Every day.
134
Some days I didn't want to.
135
I was tired.
136
I was busy.
137
But I did it anyway.
138
That is discipline.
139
And now look at us.
140
Daily English talk is growing every day.
141
So discipline works.
142
Word four is skip, S -K -I -P, skip.
143
To skip something means to not do it, to miss it on purpose.
144
For example, he always skips breakfast, that is a bad habit.
145
Or I try not to skip my morning walk.
146
I skip many things: breakfast, exercise, vegetables.
147
tom vegetables are not optional sometimes they are lily sometimes they are okay
148
but seriously everyone try not to skip your good habits even when you are tired even one small action counts
149
right if you skip your habit one day that's okay
150
but don't skip two days in a row that's when habits break
151
that is really great advice tom see tom is wise sometimes sometimes word number five improve
152
I -M -P -R -O -V -E.
153
Improve.
154
To improve means to get better, to make progress.
155
For example, if you practice English every day, you will improve fast.
156
Or, she improved her sleep by going to bed earlier.
157
This word is very important for us here at Daily English Talk.
158
Every day you listen, you improve.
159
That's why we upload every single day, so you can improve every single day.
160
My story about improve: I could not swim.
161
Not at all.
162
I was afraid of water.
163
But I took lessons every week.
164
And after three months, I could swim.
165
I improved.
166
Wait, you couldn't swim?
167
You seem so confident.
168
I was not confident in that swimming pool, but I didn't stop and I improved.
169
That is such a great story, Lily.
170
See, everyone?
171
Improvement takes time, but it always happens if you keep going.
172
Ugh, this next word.
173
This is my word.
174
Word 6: Procrastinate P -R -O -C -R -A -S -T -I -N -A -T -E.
175
Procrastinate.
176
To procrastinate means to delay doing something, to wait and wait instead of starting.
177
For example, I procrastinate a lot.
178
I say I will do it later, but later never comes.
179
Shocking, truly shocking news, Tom.
180
I know, I know.
181
Okay, here is my story.
182
Last month, I needed to clean my apartment.
183
I said I will do it on Sunday.
184
Sunday came, I procrastinated.
185
I watched TV.
186
I made excuses.
187
So what happened?
188
My mom came to visit, unannounced.
189
And my apartment looked like a disaster zone.
190
No, Tom.
191
It was so bad, Lily.
192
It was so bad.
193
She looked at me and said, Thomas.
194
She called you Thomas?
195
She never calls me Thomas.
196
It was not a good day.
197
Okay, everyone.
198
Don't procrastinate.
199
Tom's mom will be very disappointed.
200
Please, learn from my mistakes.
201
Word 7 is: Consistent.
202
C -O -N -S -I -S -T -E -N -T.
203
Consistent.
204
If you are consistent, you do something regularly.
205
You don't stop and start.
206
You keep going.
207
For example, to learn a language, you need to be consistent.
208
A little every day is better than a lot one day.
209
Or, she is very consistent with her exercise.
210
She never misses a day.
211
Seriously, it is the number one thing.
212
Small steps every day.
213
That adds up to big results.
214
My teacher in school used to say, "You don't need to be perfect.
215
You just need to be consistent." I never forgot that.
216
That is a beautiful quote.
217
Your teacher was very wise.
218
She really was.
219
And that's why we are here every day, everyone, to help you be consistent with your English.
220
And our final word for today, Word 8.
221
replace.
222
R -E -P -L -A -C -E.
223
Replace.
224
To replace means to put something new in the place of something old.
225
For example, I replaced my bad habit of drinking soda with drinking water.
226
Or she replaced watching TV at night with reading books.
227
Now she sleeps much better.
228
This is a great strategy for building good habits.
229
Don't just stop a bad habit, replace it with a good one.
230
That is so true.
231
When I wanted to stop eating too many sweets, I didn't just say "no more chocolate." I replaced chocolate with fruit.
232
And it actually worked.
233
Really?
234
You don't miss the chocolate?
235
Every single day.
236
Honest.
237
But fruit is good and I feel better.
238
So the replace strategy works.
239
Try it, everyone.
240
Okay, time for our vocabulary review.
241
We're going to do a fun repetition drill.
242
Listen and repeat after us.

Informazioni su Questa Lezione
In questa lezione, esploreremo il tema delle abitudini, distinguendo tra buone e cattive abitudini. Imparerai vocaboli e frasi utili associate a questo argomento, il tutto mentre migliori la tua abilità di parlare inglese. Attraverso il podcast, potrai ascoltare una conversazione naturale tra Tom e Lily, prendendo nota delle loro abitudini quotidiane e delle dinamiche del loro dialogo. Questo ti aiuterà a comprendere meglio l'uso della lingua inglese in contesti quotidiani.
Vocabolario e Frasi Chiave
- Abitudine (habit): Comportamento abituale che può essere buono o cattivo.
- Buona abitudine (good habit): Un comportamento positivo che porta benefici.
- Cattiva abitudine (bad habit): Un comportamento negativo che ha effetti dannosi.
- Controllare il telefono (check my phone): Guardare il telefono per messaggi o notizie.
- Esercitarsi (exercise): Attività fisica per mantenere la salute.
- Guardare video divertenti (watch funny videos): Visualizzare contenuti umoristici online.
- Routine mattutina (morning routine): Le attività che si svolgono al mattino.
Consigli per la Pratica
Per migliorare la tua pronuncia e fluidità in inglese, ti consigliamo di utilizzare la tecnica del shadowing in inglese. Inizia ascoltando un breve segmento del podcast, quindi ripeti immediatamente ciò che senti, cercando di imitare il ritmo e l'intonazione di Tom e Lily. Poiché il tono del loro dialogo è amichevole e colloquiale, questa è un'ottima opportunità per lavorare sul tuo shadow speech e sulla tua capacità di parlare in modo naturale.
Inoltre, prestare attenzione alla velocità della loro conversazione ti aiuterà a capire come esprimerti in modo più fluido. Se trovi difficile tenere il passo, non preoccuparti: puoi rallentare la velocità del video per abituarti meglio. Ripeti più volte i passaggi in un processo chiamato shadowspeak, dove ti alleni a parlare come gli interlocutori. Questo non solo migliorerà la tua pronuncia, ma aumenterà anche la tua capacità di comprendere e rispondere in conversazioni reali.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Verbo + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — i verbi seguiti dalla forma in -ing | started studying · stop eating · Stop procrastinating |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisione, una promessa o una previsione | will tell · will use · will improve |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — qualcosa che succede adesso o in questo periodo | are talking · is happening · is growing |
| Obbligo: must / have to / need to dire che qualcosa è necessario | had to record · needed to clean · need to be |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
