Hello everyone and welcome back to Miss English Channel.
2
How are you today?
3
Today I am here with Sophia and today we are going to talk about daily routine.
4
Hello everyone.
5
I am very happy to be here today.
6
Let's start our conversation.
7
Thank you for joining us today, Sophia.
8
It is great to have you here.
9
Thank you, Ryan.
10
I am very excited about today's topic.
11
Me too.
12
Daily routine is a very important topic for beginners.
13
Yes, we all have a daily routine.
14
Every person has one.
15
That is right.
16
A daily routine means the things you do every day.
17
Yes, like waking up, eating breakfast, going to work, and sleeping.
18
Exactly.
19
These are all parts of a daily routine.
20
I think this topic is very useful for beginners.
21
I agree.
22
You can use this vocabulary every day.
23
Yes.
24
In real life, people ask about your routine all the time.
25
That is true.
26
So let's begin.
27
Sophia, what time do you wake up every day?
28
I usually wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning.
29
Oh, really?
30
That is very early.
31
Yes, it is a little early, but I like the morning.
32
I see.
33
Do you wake up easily, or is it hard for you?
34
Honestly, it is a little hard sometimes.
35
I like to sleep.
36
I understand.
37
Many people feel that way in the morning.
38
Yes, but I always wake up when my alarm rings.
39
That is good.
40
I sometimes turn off my alarm and go back to sleep.
41
Oh no, that is not good, Ryan.
42
I know.
43
It is a bad habit.
44
Yes, we should wake up on time.
45
You are right.
46
I am trying to do better.
47
Good.
48
So what time do you wake up, Ryan?
49
I wake up at 7 o'clock, sometimes 7.30.
50
Oh, that is a little later than me.
51
Yes, I am not a morning person.
52
That is okay.
53
Everyone is different.
54
That is true.
55
Some people like mornings.
56
Some people like nights.
57
Yes, I am a morning person.
58
I feel happy and fresh in the morning.
59
That is wonderful.
60
I feel more awake in the afternoon.
61
Really?
62
That is interesting.
63
Yes, everyone has a different energy time.
64
That is a good way to say it.
65
Okay.
66
So let's talk more about the morning routine.
67
What do you do first after you wake up?
68
The first thing I do is turn off my alarm. Of course.
69
That is the very first thing.
70
Then I go to the bathroom.
71
Yes.
72
That is very common.
73
I wash my face with cold water.
74
Oh, cold water?
75
Why cold water?
76
Cold water helps me wake up.
77
It makes me feel fresh.
78
Oh, really?
79
That sounds interesting.
80
Yes, you should try it sometime.
81
Maybe I will.
82
I always use warm water.
83
Warm water is comfortable, but cold water wakes you up faster.
84
I believe you.
85
What do you do after washing your face?
86
I brush my teeth.
87
How long do you brush your teeth?
88
I brush for about two minutes.
89
Good.
90
Dentists say two minutes is the right time.
91
Yes, I heard that too.
92
Do you brush for two minutes, Ryan?
93
Honestly, probably not.
94
Maybe one minute.
95
Oh, you should brush longer.
96
I know.
97
I am trying to do better.
98
Good.
99
Healthy teeth are very important.
100
That is true.
101
Okay, what do you do next?
102
After brushing my teeth, I take a shower.
103
In the morning?
104
Some people take a shower at night.
105
Yes, I prefer a morning shower.
106
It wakes me up.
107
I see.
108
I take a shower at night before sleeping.
109
Oh, interesting.
110
Why do you prefer night?
111
Because I feel cleaner when I sleep.
112
And I sleep better.
113
Oh, that makes sense.
114
Yes, both are good.
115
It depends on the person.
116
That is right.
117
Morning or night, both are fine.
118
Exactly.
119
Now, what about breakfast?
120
Do you eat breakfast every day?
121
Yes, I always eat breakfast.
122
I think breakfast is very important.
123
I agree.
124
Breakfast gives us energy for the day.
125
Yes, without breakfast, I feel tired and hungry.
126
Me too.
127
What do you usually eat for breakfast?
128
I usually eat eggs and toast.
129
Sometimes I have fruit too.
130
That sounds healthy and delicious.
131
Yes.
132
I like simple breakfast food.
133
What about you, Ryan?
134
I usually eat cereal with milk.
135
Sometimes I make oatmeal.
136
Oh, oatmeal is very healthy.
137
Yes.
138
It gives me a lot of energy in the morning.
139
Do you drink coffee in the morning?
140
Yes.
141
I always drink coffee.
142
I need coffee to wake up.
143
Huh.
144
Me too.
145
Coffee is my best friend in the morning.
146
I cannot start my day without coffee.
147
Same here.
148
I drink one cup every morning.
149
I drink two cups sometimes.
150
Oh wow.
151
That is a lot of coffee.
152
I know.
153
I love coffee very much.
154
What kind of coffee do you drink?
155
I drink black coffee.
156
No sugar.
157
No milk.
158
Oh really?
159
That is strong.
160
Yes, I like the strong taste.
161
I prefer coffee with milk and a little sugar.
162
That sounds nice too.
163
Yes, it is sweet and smooth.
164
Everyone has their own coffee style.
165
That is so true.
166
Okay, after breakfast, what do you do next in your routine?
167
After breakfast, I get dressed.
168
Of course, you need to choose your clothes.
169
Yes, I usually pick my clothes the night before.
170
Oh, that is a great idea.
171
It saves time in the morning.
172
Yes, in the morning I am sometimes sleepy, so I plan ahead.
173
That is very smart.
174
I usually choose my clothes in the morning.
175
Does that take a long time for you?
176
Sometimes, yes.
177
I cannot decide what to wear.
178
Huh, I understand that feeling.
179
I stand in front of my closet for a long time.
180
That happens to me too sometimes.
181
It is a common problem.
182
Yes, planning the night before really helps.
183
I will try that.
184
It is a good tip.
185
Yes, try it and see if it helps you.
186
Okay.
187
So after you get dressed, what is the next step?
188
I check my bag.
189
I make sure I have everything I need.
190
Like what?
191
My phone, my keys, my wallet.
192
The three most important things.
193
Yes, if I forget one of them.
194
My day is very difficult.
195
I agree.
196
I once forgot my keys at home.
197
Oh no. What happened?
198
I could not get back into my house after work.
199
That sounds stressful.
200
It was very stressful.
201
I had to wait for a long time.
202
I always check my bag twice now.
203
That is a good habit.
204
Yes.
205
Check everything before you leave the house.
206
Good advice for everyone listening.
207
Yes.
208
Listeners, Please check your bag before you leave.
209
Okay.
210
So now it is time to leave the house.
211
How do you go to work or school?
212
I take the bus to work.
213
Oh, the bus.
214
Is it far?
215
About 30 minutes by bus.
216
That is not too far.
217
No, it is okay.
218
I like riding the bus.
219
Why do you like it?
220
Because I can read a book or listen to music on the bus.
221
Oh, that is a great way to use your time.
222
Yes, I learn a lot on the bus.
223
That is wonderful.
224
I drive to work.
225
Oh, do you drive every day?
226
Yes.
227
My office is not near a bus stop.
228
I see.
229
How long does it take?
230
About 20 minutes if there is no traffic.
231
And if there is traffic?
232
Sometimes 45 minutes or even one hour.
233
Oh, wow.
234
That is a big difference.
235
Yes.
236
Traffic is very bad sometimes.
237
That must be stressful.
238
It is.
239
But I listen to podcasts in the car.
240
Oh, like this one?
241
Yes, exactly like this one.
242
That is great.
243
Podcasts are a wonderful way to learn English.
244
I completely agree.
245
Okay, so now we are at work.
246
What does your afternoon look like?
247
At work, I start at 9 o'clock in the morning.
248
What time do you finish?
249
I usually finish at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
250
So you work from 9 to 5?
251
Yes, 9 to 5.
252
That is a normal work day.
253
Do you take a lunch break?
254
Yes, I have lunch at 12 o'clock.
255
What do you usually eat for lunch?
256
I sometimes bring food from home.
257
Sometimes I buy food near work.
258
What do you bring from home?
259
I make a sandwich or a salad the night before.
260
Oh, you prepare your lunch the night before too?
261
Yes, it saves money and time.
262
That is very practical.
263
Yes, buying lunch every day is expensive.
264
That is true.
265
I buy lunch at a restaurant near my office.
266
Is it expensive?
267
A little.
268
But the food is very good.
269
That is important, too.
270
You should enjoy your meal.
271
Yes.
272
Lunch is my favorite time of the day at work.
273
Huh.
274
I think many people feel that way.
275
Absolutely.
276
It is a break from work.
277
Yes.
278
It is a time to relax and eat.
279
Okay.
280
So after work, what does your evening routine look like?
281
After work, I go home.
282
I arrive home around 6 o'clock.
283
What do you do when you get home?
284
First, I change my clothes.
285
I put on comfortable clothes.
286
Yes, that is one of the best feelings.
287
Taking off work clothes.
288
Yes, it feels so good.
289
I agree completely.
290
Then, I make dinner.
291
You cook dinner yourself?
292
Yes, I like cooking.
293
It helps me relax.
294
That is wonderful.
295
What do you usually cook?
296
I like simple meals.
297
Pasta, rice with vegetables, soup.
298
That sounds delicious.
299
I am not a good cook.
300
Really?
301
What do you do for dinner?
302
Sometimes I order food.
303
Sometimes I cook simple things.
304
What is the simplest thing you can cook?
305
Scrambled eggs.
306
I am very good at scrambled eggs.
307
Huh.
308
That is a good start.
309
Thank you.
310
I think so too.
311
Everyone starts somewhere with cooking.
312
That is true.
313
Cooking is a useful skill.
314
Yes, and it saves money.
315
Yes.
316
Ordering food is expensive too.
317
That is right.
318
Learning to cook is a good investment.
319
I agree.
320
Maybe you can teach me someday, Sophia. Of course.
321
I will teach you a simple recipe.
322
I look forward to that.
323
Okay, what do you do after dinner?
324
After dinner, I wash the dishes.
325
Do you wash them by hand or use a dishwasher?
326
I wash by hand.
327
I do not have a dishwasher.
328
I see.
329
Does it take long?
330
About 15 to 20 minutes.
331
That is not too long.
332
No, I do not mind it.
333
I listen to music while I wash.
334
Oh, that makes it more enjoyable.
335
Yes, time goes faster with music.
336
That is a great idea.
337
I do the same thing.
338
After washing dishes, I sit on the sofa and relax.
339
Do you watch TV?
340
Sometimes, but mostly I read a book.
341
Oh, you love reading.
342
Yes, I read every night before sleeping.
343
What kind of books do you like?
344
I like easy novels, stories about people and their lives.
345
That sounds nice.
346
Reading before sleep is a good habit.
347
Yes, it helps me feel calm and sleepy.
348
Do you use your phone before sleeping?
349
I try not to.
350
Phones are not good before sleeping.
351
That is true.
352
The light from the phone keeps you awake.
353
Yes.
354
Experts say we should stop using the phone one hour before sleeping.
355
I know.
356
But I sometimes look at my phone in bed.
357
Many people do.
358
It is a hard habit to break.
359
Yes.
360
Very hard.
361
But we should try.
362
Agreed.
363
Okay.
364
What time do you go to sleep?
365
I usually sleep at 10.30.
366
That is a good time.
367
Not too late.
368
Yes.
369
I try to sleep eight hours every night.
370
Eight hours is the recommended amount.
371
Yes, I feel much better when I sleep 8 hours.
372
I agree.
373
Sleep is very important for health.
374
Yes, when I do not sleep enough, I feel tired and slow all day.
375
Same here.
376
Good sleep makes everything better.
377
What time do you go to sleep, Ryan?
378
I usually sleep around 11 or 11.30.
379
That is a little late.
380
I know.
381
I like to stay up and watch videos or read.
382
I understand.
383
Nighttime is quiet and peaceful.
384
Exactly.
385
I like the quiet at night.
386
Yes, but sleep is important.
387
You are right.
388
I am trying to sleep earlier.
389
Good.
390
Your body will thank you.
391
Okay, everyone.
392
Now let's look at some useful English from our conversation today.
393
Yes, we used a lot of helpful vocabulary.
394
Let's start with daily routine verbs.
395
Sophia, can you name some?
396
Sure.
397
Wake up, get up, brush teeth, take a shower, get dressed.
398
Great.
399
These are all very common verbs for a morning routine.
400
And for the evening, cook dinner, wash dishes, read a book, go to sleep.
401
Perfect.
402
Now let's talk about how we use these verbs.
403
We often use the word usually with daily routines.
404
That is right.
405
Usually means something you do most of the time.
406
For example, I usually wake up at 6 o'clock.
407
I usually eat breakfast at home.
408
I usually take the bus to work.
409
Good.
410
You can use usually before the verb.
411
Yes.
412
Subject plus usually plus verb.
413
Let's also talk about the word always.
414
Always means 100% of the time.
415
For example, I always brush my teeth in the morning.
416
I always drink coffee before work.
417
And sometimes means not every day.
418
Just some days.
419
For example, I sometimes buy lunch near my office.
420
I sometimes cook pasta for dinner.
421
Great examples.
422
So we have always, usually, sometimes, and never.
423
These are called frequency adverbs.
424
Yes, they tell us how often we do something.
425
Always, 100%.
426
Usually, most of the time.
427
Sometimes, a few times.
428
Never, 0%.
429
For example, I never eat fast food for breakfast.
430
I never skip my morning coffee.
431
Huh, that is a true sentence for both of us.
432
Absolutely true.
433
Now let's talk about telling time in English.
434
Yes, we use time words a lot in this conversation.
435
For example, I wake up at 6 o'clock.
436
I have lunch at 12 o'clock.
437
I go to sleep at 10.30.
438
We say o'clock for the exact hour, like 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock.
439
And we say 30 for 30 minutes, like 10.30, 8.30.
440
For 15 minutes, we can say quarter past.
441
For example, 6.15 or quarter past 6.
442
And for 45 minutes, we say quarter to.
443
For example, 6.45 or quarter to 7.
444
These are both correct.
445
You can use either one.
446
Good.
447
Now let's talk about one more grammar point, the simple present tense.
448
Yes.
449
The simple present is very important for talking about routines.
450
We use it for things we do regularly.
451
For example, I wake up at 7, she wakes up at 6.
452
Notice that with she and he, we add an S to the verb.
453
Yes.
454
She wakes up.
455
He brushes his teeth.
456
He drinks coffee.
457
But with I, you, we, they, no S.
458
I wake up.
459
You wake up.
460
They wake up.
461
Only he, she, and it get the S.
462
That is a very important rule for beginners.
463
Yes.
464
Please remember this rule, everyone.
465
Let's practice together.
466
Ryan, give me a sentence with he.
467
He eats breakfast at 7 o'clock.
468
Good.
469
Now with she.
470
She takes the bus to work.
471
Perfect.
472
Now with they.
473
They go to sleep at 10 o'clock.
474
Excellent.
475
No S with they.
476
Great review.
477
These are the basics of talking about your daily routine.
478
Yes.
479
Very useful for real conversations.
480
Now here is one more useful phrase.
481
What does your day look like?
482
Oh, that is a very natural question.
483
Yes.
484
People ask this question a lot.
485
It means, tell me about your day.
486
What do you do?
487
For example, what does your morning look like?
488
Or, what does your evening routine look like?
489
You can answer with, well, I usually wake up at 7.
490
Then I...
491
Yes.
492
You use then to connect the steps.
493
I wake up, then I wash my face, then I eat breakfast.
494
Then, makes the routine sound like a story.
495
Yes, it shows the order of events.
496
Another word for order is next and after that.
497
For example, I brush my teeth, after that, I get dressed.
498
I have lunch, next I go back to work.
499
Good.
500
Then, next, and after that all mean the same thing here.
501
Yes, they show what comes next in your routine.
502
Now I have a question for everyone listening today.
503
Oh, I love listener questions.
504
What time do you wake up every day?
505
Are you a morning person?
506
Yes.
507
Please write your answer in the comments below.
508
We would love to read your answers.
509
And tell us, what is the first thing you do in the morning?
510
Is it checking your phone?
511
Drinking coffee?
512
Brushing your teeth?
513
Everyone has a different first step.
514
Yes, there is no right or wrong answer.
515
Just share your routine with us.
516
We will try to reply to your comments.
517
Yes, we love talking with our listeners.

Through real conversations, just like this one.
523

524
Just friendly conversation.
525
That is the best way to learn.
526
We believe that too.
527
Okay, let's continue our conversation.
528
Yes, let's talk about weekends.
529
Is your weekend routine different?
530
Great question.
531
Yes, my weekend routine is very different.
532
Tell me about it.
533
On weekends, I wake up much later.
534
Maybe 9 or 10 o'clock.
535
Oh, wow.
536
That is very late compared to your weekday time.
537
Yes.
538
On weekdays, I wake up at 7.
539
On weekends, much later.
540
I understand.
541
The weekend is for rest.
542
Exactly.
543
I love sleeping in on Saturday morning.
544
Sleeping in means staying in bed later than usual.
545
Yes.
546
That is right.
547
Sleeping in is a beautiful thing.
548
Huh, I agree.
549
I also sleep a little later on weekends.
550
What do you do on Saturday morning, Sophia?
551
I wake up around 8.
552
Then I make a big breakfast.
553
Oh, a big breakfast.
554
Like what?
555
Eggs, toast, fruit, and orange juice.
556
Sometimes pancakes.
557
That sounds amazing.
558
Weekday breakfast is quick.
559
Weekend breakfast is special.
560
Yes, on weekdays there is no time.
561
I eat fast.
562
But on weekends, you can enjoy your meal.
563
Yes.
564
I sit at the table and eat slowly.
565
I read a little too.
566
That sounds very relaxing.
567
It is my favorite time of the week.
568
That is beautiful.
569
What do you do in the afternoon on weekends?
570
I usually go outside, walk in the park or go shopping.
571
Nice.
572
Fresh air is good for the body and mind.
573
Yes, I love walking.
574
It is simple but very good for health.
575
I agree.
576
I sometimes go to the gym on Saturday.
577
Oh, you exercise on weekends?
578
Yes.
579
I do not have time during the week, so I go on weekends.
580
That is better than nothing.
581
Yes.
582
Exercise is very important.
583
Even a short walk is good.
584
That is true.
585
Every little bit helps.
586
What about Sunday?
587
Is Sunday different from Saturday?
588
Yes.
589
Sunday is more relaxed for me.
590
What do you do on Sunday?
591
I stay home mostly.
592
I clean my apartment, do laundry.
593
Oh yes.
594
Cleaning and laundry are part of the weekend routine.
595
Yes.
596
Chores.
597
Nobody loves doing chores.
598
Huh.
599
That is true.
600
But they must be done.
601
Yes.
602
I do laundry on Sunday morning.
603
Then I vacuum.
604
Do you have a cleaning routine?
605
Yes.
606
I clean the bathroom on Sunday.
607
I clean the kitchen after cooking.
608
I clean my apartment on Saturday afternoon.
609
Does cleaning take long?
610
About one hour for my small apartment.
611
One hour is not bad.
612
I spend about 90 minutes.
613
That is reasonable.
614
A clean home makes me feel happy.
615
Me too.
616
A clean space means a clear mind.
617
I like that saying.
618
Thank you.
619
I read it somewhere.
620
On Sunday evenings, do you prepare for the next week?
621
Yes.
622
I call it Sunday prep.
623
Oh, what is Sunday prep?
624
I prepare my clothes for Monday.
625
I pack my bag.
626
I check my schedule.
627
That is very organized.
628
Yes.
629
It helps me feel ready for the week.
630
I do something similar.
631
I think about my week on Sunday night.
632
It reduces stress on Monday morning.
633
Yes.
634
Monday morning is hard enough without surprises.
635
Ha.
636
That is so true.
637
If you are organized on Sunday, Monday is easier.
638
Good advice for everyone.
639
Yes.
640
Listeners, try preparing on Sunday.
641
It really helps.
642
Okay, everyone.
643
I think it is time to wrap up today's episode.
644
Yes, we talked about so many things today.
645
We talked about morning routines, evening routines, and weekend routines.
646
We also learned some very useful vocabulary.
647
Frequency adverbs, always, usually, sometimes, never.
648
Time expressions, o'clock thirty, quarter past, quarter to.
649
Sequence words, then, next, after that.
650
And the simple present tense for talking about routines.
651
That is a lot of learning in one episode.

Yes, but it was fun learning, I think.

659
You can use everything we talked about today in real life.
660
Starting tomorrow morning, when your alarm rings.
661
Huh, yes.
662
Think in English when you wake up.
663
That is a wonderful tip.
664
Think, I wake up, I wash my face, I eat breakfast.
665
Make English part of your daily routine.
666
I love that idea.
667
English as part of your routine.
668
Yes, a little bit every day goes a very long way.
669
Before we go, one last question for listeners.
670
Oh, yes.
671
What is it?
672
What is one thing you want to change about your daily routine?
673
Oh, that is a great question.
674
Maybe wake up earlier, or eat a healthier breakfast, or sleep more.

このレッスンについて

「Talking About Daily Routine in English | Beginner English Listening Podcast」を使って、シャドーイングで英語を練習しましょう。

毎日15〜30分の練習で、IELTSスピーキングへの自信と実践的な英会話力が身につきます。

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。
