Hello my friends. My name is Emma and I am  a mom. I have two lovely children and we live together in a small happy house. Today I  want to share my daily routine with you. That means the things I do every day as a mom. This  video is for you English learners. Don't worry, I will speak slowly. I will use easy words so  you can understand and learn with me. I hope this lesson helps you. You can listen to my  story, learn new words, and practice English.

Every day I do many things. I wake up early.  I make breakfast. I take my kids to school. I clean the house. I cook lunch. I help my  children with homework. I cook dinner. I play with my kids. And at the end of the day,  we all go to sleep. In this video, I will tell you about three parts of my day. The morning,  the afternoon, and the evening. So, are you ready? Let's begin my story together. I wake up  at 6:00 in the morning. It is still dark outside.
3
I feel a little tired, but I get up. First, I  wash my face and brush my teeth. Then, I go to the kitchen. I make a hot cup of coffee for myself.  I drink my coffee and I start making breakfast.
4
I cook eggs and toast for my children. Sometimes  I make pancakes, too. My kids love pancakes. They always smile when they see them. While the food  is cooking, I prepare their lunch for school.
5
I put fruit, sandwiches, and juice in their  lunch boxes. At 7:00, I wake up my kids. They do not like to wake up early, but finally they  get up. They wash their faces and get dressed. I help my little girl find her clothes. My older  son dresses himself. We all sit down and eat breakfast together. We talk a little about  school. I ask, "Do you have everything for school?" Sometimes they say yes, sometimes they  say no. I check their school bags to be sure.
6
After breakfast, I clean the kitchen. I wash  the dishes, wipe the table, and start the laundry. At 8:00, we leave the house. I drive  the kids to school. It takes about 20 minutes.
7
Then I drive back home. Now my kids are at school  and I start my day alone. When I get back home, the house is quiet. I sit down, drink some water,  and rest for a few minutes. Then I start doing more work. I fold the clean clothes. I clean the  living room and sweep the floor. Sometimes I go shopping. I walk to the small shop near my house.  I buy food and things we need like bread, milk, or soap. Hello. How are you today? I'm good, thank  you. How are you? I'm fine, thank you. It's a busy day. Yes, it looks like you need many things.  What do you need today? I need bread. Milk and some apples, please. Sure. Do you want white bread  or brown bread? White bread, please. And here is the milk. Do you want a big bottle or a small one?  A big one, please. Okay. And here are the apples.
8
They are fresh today. Perfect. My children love  apples. Is that everything? Oh, yes. I also need some soap. No problem. Here you are. Thank you  very much. How much is it? It's $5. Here you go.
9
Thank you. Have a nice day. You too. See you next  time. I carry my bags home. The shopping is not heavy, but I feel happy because I have everything  my family needs. At 12:00, I eat lunch. I usually eat rice, vegetables, or maybe soup. I like simple  food. Sometimes I eat lunch with my neighbor.
10
After lunch, I wash the dishes again. Sometimes I  take a short nap. I sleep for 20 or 30 minutes. It gives me more energy for the rest of the day. At  2:30, I leave the house and drive to the school.
11
My children are happy when they see me. They tell  me about their day. I played soccer. I read a book. It makes me smile and feel happy. When we  get home, the kids change their clothes. We eat a small snack, maybe fruit, crackers, or yogurt.  Then it's homework time. I sit with them at the table. I help them with reading, writing,  and math. I try to make it fun. So, we talk and laugh while we work. If there is extra time,  the kids watch a cartoon or play a game. And me, I start thinking about dinner. At around 5:00,  I start making dinner. I cook rice, vegetables, and sometimes chicken or fish. My children help  me. They wash the vegetables or set the table.
12
We eat dinner together. We sit at the table and  talk. I ask, "How was your day?" They tell me funny stories or talk about school. I love this  family time. After dinner, we clean the kitchen.
13
I wash the dishes and my kids help me dry them.  Then we all go to the living room. We play a little or read books. Sometimes we watch a short  cartoon together. It is our quiet, happy time at home. At 7:30, it's bath time. Each child takes a  bath. I help my little one and my older son does it by himself. Then they brush their teeth and  put on their pajamas. Before bed, we read one more story. The kids choose a book. I read slowly. They  listen and smile. At 8:30, it's bedtime. I turn off the lights. I say, "Good night. I love you."  They say, "Good night, mommy." Then the house is quiet again. I sit on the sofa. I drink tea, rest,  and relax. I feel tired but also very happy. That is my day. I do many things from morning to  night. I take care of my family. I clean, cook, and help my children. It is a lot of work,  but I love it. Every day is a little different, but also the same. I wake up, I work, and I  sleep. It is not always easy, but it is special.
14
Being a mom is a big job, but I enjoy the small  moments like talking at dinner, reading stories, or seeing my children smile. These moments make  me happy and proud. I hope you liked this video.
15
I hope it helped you learn English. Did you learn  new words? Did you understand my story? You can listen again to practice. You can write the new  words in a notebook. You can try to say your own daily routine in English. You can even record your  voice and listen. It is okay to make mistakes.
16
Don't give up. Every day you will get better.  Thank you for watching and listening to my story. I am happy to share my life with you. If  you want more videos like this, please like this video and subscribe to the channel. See you next  time. Have a good day and keep learning English.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
