Hi!

In this video keep an eye out for these words.

To apply, to make a bed, to take medication, electric stove,

cleanser, tissue, moisturizer, to feed, to wipe, scale and to let out.

Try to listen to these words and try to repeat them after me.

And if you already know these words, try to listen for new ones.

and try to understand the context.

In this video I'm going to do my morning skincare routine.

I'm also going to do some chores around the house and I'm going to show you my pads.

So let's go.

Hi everyone.

So I woke up an hour ago but I decided to stay in bed a little bit longer.

so now I finally get up and we will start with my skincare routine.

First of all I'm going to start with this clarifying foam.

Basically it's a cleanser to wash my face.

I like to wash my face with cold water because then it gives you this refreshing cold feeling.

So this foam structure is also really soft and I like it more than for example gel structure.

Now let's rinse it.

I like to use just paper tissues to dry my face instead of a towel for example

so I believe this is a better option.

First step done!

Now my face is clean.

Let's move to the next step and this is serum.

Ha!

Unexpected.

It's a vitamin C serum that I use in my face.

I apply it when my face is already clean

and I use it to give my face this glow and so that my skin doesn't look so pale.

When your skin is pale, your skin is basically white and you look almost like you're sick.

So I don't like when my skin is pale that's why i use this vitamin c serum

and i'm applying it my face a few drops

and you can see here it states that the shelf life can be prolonged

if you store it in your fridge

so that's what i'm going to do uh i always store this kind of serum in my fridge

and the cat is already hungry.

Hi cat!

And we are moving to the next step and it's a moisturizing cream

because my skin right now feels a little bit dry and I need to moisturize it with this cream.

So I'm going to apply a small amount of cream on my face

and I usually apply all my skincare products just with my hands.

So I just use my hands to apply all the skincare products.

I have a cat and basically that's your life with a cat that's my life with a cat

definition of balance in your life step three is done

and we are moving to the last one and also a very important one, SPF cream.

So it protects your face, your skin from the sun, from the ultraviolet.

I'm applying a small amount of the sunscreen on my face and after that we are done.

Okay, so we are done now and ready for the day.

So I'm going to change from this pajamas but first let's make the bed.

body is made now let's find them some clothes that I'm going to wear so first I choose these

linen pants because they are made from linen and I'm going to go for this striped t-shirt let's change.

Here's my outfit now.

T-shirt, linen pants and my favorite dog too.

It looks like the cat wants to eat so let's feed them because there is also another cat.

I'm using a scale to give them the right amount of

food to measure how many grams of food i need to give them so this is cat food there you go

i do the same with the dog food but i mix both dry

and wet food together and i also use a scale Sit.

Young girl. Can you?

wipe the surface, wipe the counter.

This part is called the counter.

So I'm going to wipe the counter and maybe make breakfast after that.

I'm using a cloth to wipe the surface because dust and fur from the cats are everywhere.

I'm wiping the surface of the electric stove and also the surface of the counter.

Before breakfast I'm also going to take some of my medication.

So I take medication before breakfast.

I take some pills.

Another thing that I remember that I have to do is to unload the dishwasher.

So I have to take all the clean dishes out of here and put them away in the cabinets.

So I have to unload the dishwasher.

There is a yoga mat.

Am I going to do yoga today?

No, I don't want to.

So I'm not going to do yoga today.

just look at the weather outside so i'm going to let the cats

and dog out on the balcony

so i let them out i let them out on the balcony and you can see there is a cat net

so that the cats and the dog don't escape from here.

And there are nice flowers, the plants are blooming. So thanks for watching.

This is basically our morning routine.

So see you in the next video.

Bye!

you

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
