Hi everyone and welcome back.
2
Today's part one topic is daily routine.
3
In this lesson you'll hear two different perspectives.
4
One from Finn, who's a university student, and one from Blondie.
5
who's a working professional.
6
So whether you're studying or already working, You'll be able to relate these answers to your own situation.
7
Let's get started.
8
Tell me about your daily routine.
9
Well, on weekdays, I usually wake up at around 7 :00 a .m
10
and have a quick breakfast before heading to campus for my classes.
11
Most of my day revolves around classes and coursework.
12
whether that's attending lectures, studying in the library, or working on assignments.
13
Once I'm done for the day, I head home, have dinner, and spend some time relaxing.
14
I usually watch YouTube, play online games with my friends, or just unwind before going to bed around midnight.
15
What time do you usually get up on weekdays?
16
I usually get up at around 7 :00 AM during the week.
17
That's plenty of time for me to get ready and make it to campus without rushing.
18
If I have a late lecture, though, I might stay in bed a little longer and enjoy a more relaxed morning before heading to university.
19
What is the first thing you do after waking up?
20
The first thing I do is check my phone to see if I've received any messages or notifications overnight.
21
After that, I brush my teeth, wash my face, and grab a quick bite to eat before getting ready for university.
22
How do you usually spend your mornings?
23
Most of my mornings are pretty busy.
24
After getting ready and having a quick breakfast, I head to campus for my classes.
25
I only live about a 15 -minute walk away, so it's really convenient.
26
If I get there a bit early, I'll usually catch up with my friends or check my phone for a few minutes before class starts.
27
Then I spend the rest of the morning in lectures.
28
What activities are part of your daily routine?
29
As a university student, most of my daily activities revolve around my studies.
30
I spend a lot of time attending lectures and working on coursework.
31
Outside of that, I usually hang out with friends on campus.
32
In the evenings, I often watch a few videos, play online games with my friends, or just relax before going to bed.
33
Is your daily routine different at the weekend compared to during the week?
34
Yes, quite a bit.
35
During the week, my schedule is mostly determined by my classes, so everything is more structured.
36
On weekends, I wake up later and have more freedom to do whatever I want.
37
I often meet up with friends, catch up on hobbies, or simply relax.
38
Of course, I still study, but I don't follow such a strict timetable.
39
What part of your daily routine do you enjoy the most?
40
I'd probably say the evening is my favorite part of the day.
41
By that time, I've usually finished my classes and most of my academic work, So I can finally wind down.
42
I like being able to switch off for a while.
43
I might watch a few videos online, chat with my friends online, or just do whatever I feel like doing.
44
It's a nice way to decompress after a busy day.
45
Has your daily routine changed since you were a child?
46
Absolutely.
47
The biggest difference is that I have much more control over my schedule now When I was a child, everything followed a fixed routine set by my school and parents.
48
These days, my timetable is a lot more flexible.
49
And I have to make decisions about how I spend my time.
50
For example, I need to balance lectures, assignments, and my social life on my own.
51
In some ways, it's more enjoyable, but it also comes with more responsibility.
52
What would you like to change about your daily routine?
53
If I could change one thing, I'd probably try to go to bed earlier.
54
To be honest, I often plan to sleep early, but I either have coursework to finish or end up mindlessly scrolling through my phone.
55
As a result, I don't always get as much sleep as I'd like.
56
Do you think it's important to have a daily routine?
57
Yes, definitely.
58
I don't think routines need to be extremely strict, but having a general structure to the day is really helpful.
59
In my case, it helps me manage my coursework and avoid procrastinating.
60
Without some sort of routine, I'd probably waste a lot more time.
61
However, I also like having the freedom to make spontaneous plans with friends, or take a break when I need one.
62
So I think balance is key.
63
So those were Finn's answers.
64
Now let's hear how Blondie responds to the same questions.
65
Tell me about your daily routine.
66
Well, on weekdays, my alarm goes off at 6 .30am.
67
I grab a coffee, get ready, and head out the door by 7 .30 to catch my train to work.
68
My office hours are typically from 8 :30 to 5 :30.
69
And my day is usually packed with meetings and projects.
70
Once I wrap up work around 5 .30 I head straight home, whip up some dinner and just unwind.
71
Usually I'll catch up on a TV show or scroll through my phone before heading to bed around 11.
72
What time do you usually get up on weekdays?
73
I'm typically up around 6 :30.
74
It gives me about an hour to do my morning routine.
75
and wake up properly before I have to catch the train at 7 :30.
76
On days when I'm working remotely though, I'll gladly sleep in until 8 :00
77
and enjoy a much more relaxed morning since my commute is just walking to my desk.
78
What is the first thing you do after waking up?
79
To be completely honest, The very first thing I do is reach for my phone to check my emails and Slack notifications.
80
just to make sure there isn't anything urgent I need to deal with.
81
Once I know everything is under control, I'll actually get out of bed.
82
do my skincare routine and head straight to the kitchen to put on a pot of coffee.
83
How do you usually spend your mornings?
84
My mornings are usually pretty busy.
85
Between 7 .30 and 8 .30 I'm commuting into the office.
86
So it's a mix of listening to a podcast on the train and checking my phone.
87
Once I get to my desk around 8 :30, I use the first half hour to review my to -do list
88
and answer emails before the rest of the team logs on and meetings start.
89
What activities are part of your daily routine?
90
Since I work full time, the bulk of my daily routine revolves around my job.
91
Things like collaborating with my team.
92
managing deadlines and spending most of the day in front of a screen.
93
Outside of work, it's mostly everyday tasks.
94
such as stopping by the grocery store on the way home, cooking dinner, or doing a few chores around the house.
95
In the evenings, it's all about chatting with friends, watching a good show, or binging a documentary to clear my head.
96
Is your daily routine different at the weekend compared to during the week?
97
Oh absolutely, it's night and day.
98
Weekdays are very structured and dictated by my work schedule.
99
On weekends I throw all of that out the window, I sleep in, meet up with friends for brunch,
100
run errands, or honestly just do absolutely nothing If it's been a particularly exhausting week, I completely disconnect from work so I can recharge.
101
What part of your daily routine?
102
do you enjoy the most?
103
Hands down the evening.
104
By 5 .30pm I've usually wrapped up my tasks for the day so the pressure is finally off.
105
I love that feeling of being able to switch off from work for the evening.
106
Whether I'm trying out a new recipe for dinner or meeting a friend for a drink, it's the perfect way to decompress after a busy day.
107
Has your daily routine changed since you were a child?
108
Definitely.
109
The biggest shift is the amount of responsibility and independence I have now.
110
When I was a kid, my day was entirely mapped out by school and my parents.
111
These days, I'm the one calling the shots, but that means the responsibility falls on me as well.
112
I have to balance work, paying bills, maintaining a social life, and all the other little things that come with adulthood.
113
It's nice having the freedom.
114
But it's definitely more exhausting.
115
What would you like to change about your daily routine?
116
If I could change one thing.
117
I tried to establish a better screen time boundary.
118
To be honest, I always tell myself I'm going to unplug earlier,
119
but I often end up checking work emails late at night or mindlessly scrolling through TikTok in bed.
120
Before I know it, it's past midnight, so I don't always get as much sleep as I'd like.
121
Do you think it's important to have a daily routine?
122
Yeah, I really do.
123
I don't think you need to be robotic or extremely strict about it, but Having a basic structure to your day is really helpful when you're working full time.
124
For me, it's what keeps me organised.
125
and stops my work life and personal life from blurring together That said, I still think it's important to leave room for spontaneity,
126
so balance is key.
127
And that's how Blondie answered the topic.
128

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
