1
Now you are going to listen to a conversation between two friends, Christine and Ryan.
2
They are talking about their daily routine activities.
3
So, you will learn a lot of vocabulary for the daily routine in English.
4
Remember, listening to this lesson many times and repeat the sentence after you listen to them.
5
After the conversation, I will also ask some questions about it.
6
Try to answer the questions out loud,
7
so you will improve your English speaking skills.
8
Okay, are you ready?
9
Let's get started.
10
Hey, Ryan.
11
Over here.
12
Oh, there you are, Christine.
13
Sorry I'm late.
14
That's no problem.
15
What held you up?
16
I've just had a busy morning.
17
Oh, really?
18
Yeah, lately my mornings have been packed full of things to do.
19
I'm feeling overwhelmed.
20
I'm sorry to hear that.
21
What all do you have to do every morning?
22
Well, usually I sleep in past my alarm because I'm too tired to get up.
23
So my alarm goes off at 6,
24
but I usually hit the snooze for at least an hour.
25
I normally get out of bed after 7.
26
Why are you so tired in the morning?
27
Hello, are you enjoying the story?
28
Please give us a like.
29
Thank you.
30
It's my fault.
31
I usually go out with my friends for a drink at about 10 at night.
32
And so I get back home after midnight.
33
Then I usually play video games or look at social media until I finally go to bed at 2.
34
Oh, that's not good.
35
You should go to bed sooner.
36
I know.
37
I think I'm addicted to my phone.
38
Okay, so how else is your morning so busy?
39
Well, as I said, I usually wake up too late.
40
What else?
41
As soon as I get up,
42
I have to take my dog outside to go potty.
43
Then I usually throw the ball for him so he can exercise.
44
By then, it is already 7.30 and I still haven't eaten breakfast,
45
brushed my teeth, or gotten dressed.
46
And my bus leaves for work at 7.45.
47
That seems a little tight.
48
How far is the bus stop from your home?
49
It's a five-minute walk if I walk fast, which I always do.
50
I quickly get dressed and brush my teeth and I usually skip breakfast.
51
Then I run out the door and rush to the bus stop.
52
If all goes well, I arrive at work by 8.45.
53
Then I usually grab a candy bar or a soda before starting work.
54
Then I work until lunch when I usually go and get some fast food with some friends.
55
At the end of the workday,
56
I rush home to play computer games for a few hours before I order pizza or fast food for dinner.
57
After dinner I watch TV until around 10.
58
it's time to hit the bar and hang out with my friends.
59
It sounds like you could change your schedule around.
60
That would help you be healthier and have more energy.
61
Oh really?
62
What can I change?
63
Oh, really?
64
What can I change?
65
Well, you could go to bed earlier.
66
After dinner, consider watching some TV before going to bed before midnight.
67
Then you will get at least two more hours of sleep.
68
I see, but then when would I see my friends?
69
Yes, you would miss out on seeing your friends at the bar every night.
70
You could consider asking them to meet you after work before you eat dinner.
71
Or perhaps you can only see your friends on the weekend.
72
But when you go to bed earlier at night,
73
you will wake up in the morning feeling refreshed.
74
Then you will have enough time to eat a healthy breakfast before you head out to the bus stop.
75
That's a good idea.
76
I get very tired in the mid-morning.
77
It may be because of the candy and soda I eat when I get to work.
78
Yes, skip the candy and soda.
79
And also, consider using your free time in the morning to pack a healthy lunch.
80
Eating fast food every day isn't just unhealthy, it's also expensive.
81
Wow, I can't wait to make these changes in my daily routine.
82
I feel better already.
83
I'm happy to help, Ryan.
84
Tell me, Christine, what does your daily routine look like?
85
I'm so glad you asked.
86
I usually wake up at about 6 o'clock in the morning.
87
The first thing I do is drink a big glass of water so I start the day off feeling hydrated.
88
After that, I do some sort of exercise for about 30 minutes.
89
I will either run, do yoga, or lift weights.
90
Following that, I take a shower,
91
get dressed, and put on my makeup.
92
I then usually eat a light breakfast of oatmeal or eggs.
93
By that time, it is usually about 8 o'clock.
94
I quickly pack a salad or sandwich for my lunch.
95
And then I ride my bike to work,
96
which takes about 20 minutes.
97
When I get to work,
98
I like to first catch up on emails.
99
Then I check my calendar to see what meetings I have.
100
I work through the morning and then I sit outside and eat the salad or sandwich I packed for lunch.
101
Then I return to work for the afternoon.
102
Since I usually arrive early,
103
I also leave a little bit early,
104
which helps me to beat the traffic.
105
On the way home, I often stop by the store to pick up fresh food for dinner.
106
In the evening, I sometimes hang out with friends,
107
or I will watch TV or read.
108
I cook dinner and eat at about 7 o'clock.
109
And then I wind down before going to bed at 10 o'clock.
110
Wow, that sounds like a very good day.
111
Are you able to fall asleep so early?
112
Oh, yes.
113
Because I exercise every morning and ride my bicycle to and from work,
114
I'm plenty tired by 10 o'clock at night.
115
You know, this was really helpful, Christine.
116
I think I may even buy a bicycle and ride to work a few days per week.
117
Great idea, Ryan.
118
Just don't overdo it.
119
Consider changing your schedule one step at a time so that you don't get burnt out.
120
I will do that.
121
Say, it's been really nice chatting with you, Christine.
122
I think I will run to the store and pick up some healthy food for dinner.
123
Thank you for meeting with me.
124
Anytime, Ryan.
125
Take care.
126
Bye.
127
Bye.
128
Okay, back to the beginning with questions.
129
You must answer every question.
130
Use your pause button and answer the question.
131
Then play again.
132
You can answer with just one word or two words, it's okay.
133
Short answers are okay.
134
Always answer the questions with a strong voice.
135
This is so important.
136
When you do this, you teach your mind.
137
You teach your brain to be confident when you speak English.
138
Your English will improve much, much faster.

Listen to the lessons repeatedly to think in English and automatic speaking.
156
Repetition is very, very important to become fluent.
157
You need to speak English fluently,
158
without translating in your head.
159
The words should come out of your mouth automatically.
160
So, this is where the repetition comes in.
161
If you repeat the same vocabulary and sentences many times,
162
you will become a master of this vocabulary and grammar.
163
So, you will be able to use that words automatically,
164
without thinking about grammar rules and without translating vocabulary in your head.
165
In order to think in English,
166
you must repeat vocabulary and sentences as much as you can.
167
After lots of repetition, eventually you will start to think English in your head and improve your speaking skills.
168
As I mentioned before, we use the question and answer method repeatedly in our short story lessons.
169
So, you will listen to the vocabulary and sentences many times in the same lesson.
170
And that's all for now.

Perché praticare il parlare con questo video?

Questo video offre un'opportunità unica per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e rafforzare le abilità di conversazione. Ascoltare la conversazione tra Christine e Ryan non solo ti permette di familiarizzare con il vocabolario quotidiano, ma consente anche di immergerti in situazioni reali che potresti incontrare nella vita di tutti i giorni. Praticare ascoltando ripetutamente e ripetendo le frasi dopo averle ascoltate ti aiuta a imparare l'inglese con YouTube, rendendo l'apprendimento interattivo e coinvolgente. Usare il metodo di shadowing sarà particolarmente vantaggioso per migliorare le tue capacità di parlare in inglese, poiché ti permette di imitare i modelli naturali della lingua.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

  • "I usually sleep in past my alarm" - Questa struttura grammaticale utilizza l'avverbio "usually" per descrivere un'abitudine. È utile per parlare delle tue routine quotidiane.
  • "What held you up?" - Questa espressione colloquiale è spesso usata per chiedere il motivo di un ritardo e mostra una buona applicazione delle domande in contesto informale.
  • "I’m feeling overwhelmed" - Utilizzare verbi come "feeling" trasmette emozioni e stati d'animo, un aspetto cruciale per arricchire le proprie conversazioni.
  • "I quickly get dressed and brush my teeth" - Qui, il verbo avverbiale "quickly" enfatizza l'urgenza, mostrando come i dettagli possano influenzare la comprensione nel parlato.

Trappole comuni di pronuncia

Nel video, ci sono alcune parole e frasi che possono risultare complicate da pronunciare correttamente. Ad esempio, la parola "overwhelmed" richiede attenzione particolare alla consonante "w" e alla sillaba accentata. Inoltre, l'espressione "hit the snooze" può sfuggire ai nuovi apprendenti, specialmente per il suono "snooze" che ha una pronuncia più morbida. Durante la pratica, è consigliabile utilizzare risorse di shadowing per affinare la propria capacità di riprodurre suoni e ritmi corretti. Utilizzando sistemi come shadowspeak potrai migliorare ulteriormente la tua comprensione e pronuncia in situazioni quotidiane, rendendo la tua pratica ancora più efficace.

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.
