12
Hi Sophie.
13
I am feeling really calm today, very relaxed.
14
It is a beautiful morning.
15
That is wonderful.
16
I am happy to hear that.
17
A calm morning is the best way to start.
18
It really is.
19
And you Sophie, how are you doing?
20
I am doing very well, thank you.
21
I have my cup of tea and I am ready to chat.
22
Perfect.
23
You always have your tea.
24
Always.
25
It is part of my routine.
26
And actually, that is our topic for today.
27
Oh?
28
What is the topic?
29
Today, we are going to talk about daily routine.
30
Ah, daily routine.
31
That is a very useful topic.
32
Yes.
33
We will talk about what we do every day, from the morning to the night.
34
Simple things like waking up, eating, and working.
35
Exactly.
36
But before we start, lower your voice playfully.
37
Alex, can we ask our listeners something? Of course.
38

It helps us so much.
41
And we love reading your comments, so please say hello in the comments below.
42
We really do love it.
43
Okay, let's begin.
44
Alex, tell me, how does your day start?
45
Well, my day starts early.
46
Usually I wake up at 7 a.m.
47
7 a.m.
48
That is a good time.
49
Do you use an alarm clock?
50
Yes, I use the alarm on my phone.
51
Beep, beep, beep.
52
Oh no, I hate that sound.
53
Me too.
54
But I need it.
55
If I don't use an alarm, I sleep until 10 a.m.
56
I understand.
57
Sleep is very nice.
58
So, you wake up at 7 a.m.
59
What is the first thing you do?
60
The first thing I do is stretch.
61
You stretch?
62
Yes.
63
I stretch my arms.
64
I stretch my back.
65
It helps me wake up.
66
That is a healthy habit.
67
I should do that.
68
It feels good.
69
What about you, Sophie?
70
When do you wake up?
71
I usually wake up a little earlier, around 6.30 a.m.
72
6.30 a.m.
73
That is early.
74
Yes, but I like the quiet morning.
75
It is very peaceful.
76
I agree.
77
The morning is very quiet.
78
After I wake up, I go to the kitchen immediately.
79
Immediately?
80
Not even a stretch?
81
No stretching.
82
I go straight to the kitchen to make coffee.
83
Ah, coffee, the most important part of the morning.
84
Yes, I need my coffee.
85
I cannot speak without my coffee.
86
I know that feeling.
87
I drink coffee too, but only after I take a shower.
88
Oh, you take a shower first?
89
Yes, I wake up, I stretch, and then I take a shower.
90
Cold water helps me wake up.
91
Cold water?
92
Wow, you are brave, Alex.
93
I like hot water.
94
Hot water is nice too, but cold water gives me energy.
95
So after your shower, you have breakfast?
96
Yes, I go to the kitchen and I make breakfast.
97
What do you usually eat for breakfast?
98
I keep it simple.
99
Usually I have oatmeal with fruit or sometimes just toast and eggs.
100
That sounds delicious.
101
Toast and eggs is a classic breakfast.
102
It is easy to make and I'm usually hungry in the morning.
103
Me too.
104
I usually eat yogurt and fruit.
105
It's light and fresh.
106
That sounds healthy.
107
I try.
108
So we We have finished breakfast.
109
What happens next in your daily routine?
110
After breakfast, I brush my teeth.
111
Very important.
112
Yes.
113
Then I get dressed.
114
I put on my clothes for the day.
115
Do you choose your clothes the night before or in the morning?
116
Usually in the morning.
117
I look out the window.
118
I check the weather.
119
That is smart.
120
If it is raining, you need a warm jacket.
121
Exactly.
122
If it's sunny, I wear a t-shirt.
123
So you are dressed, you have eaten breakfast.
124
Are you ready for work?
125
Yes, I am ready.
126
I leave the house around 8.30 a.m.
127
Do you drive to work?
128
No, I don't drive.
129
I take the bus.
130
You take the bus.
131
Is it crowded?
132
Sometimes.
133
In the morning, many people are going to work, so the bus is full.
134
I see.
135
I work from home, so I don't take the bus.
136
You are lucky.
137
No traffic, no crowds.
138
Yes, I am very lucky.
139
My commute is very short, from the kitchen to the living room.
140
That is the best commute.
141
So, you are at work.
142
What do you do during the day?
143
In the morning, I check my emails.
144
I have many emails to read.
145
Emails.
146
We all have emails.
147
Yes.
148
I read them and I reply to them.
149
Then I have meetings.
150
Meetings can be long.
151
Sometimes they are long, sometimes they are short.
152
But I like talking to my colleagues.
153
That is nice.
154
It is good to have friendly colleagues.
155
It makes work better.
156
Sophie, what do you do during the day?
157
Well, because I work from home, I have to be disciplined.
158
Disciplined.
159
That is a good word.
160
Can you explain it?
161
Sure.
162
Being disciplined means I have to control myself.
163
I have to work even if I want to watch TV.
164
Ah, I see.
165
Because you are at home, it's easy to relax.
166
Exactly.
167
So I sit at my desk at 9 a.m and I start writing.
168
You write lessons?
169
Yes.
170
I write lessons for our students and I record podcasts, like this one.
171
Like this one?
172
That is hard work.
173
It is fun work.
174
I love it.
175
But I also need breaks.
176
Breaks are important.
177
We cannot work all day without stopping.
178
True.
179
So, at 12 p.m., I stop for lunch.
180
Lunchtime.
181
My favorite time.
182
Mine, too.
183
What do you do for lunch, Alex?
184
I usually bring my lunch from home.
185
Oh, you cook at home and bring it?
186
Yes.
187
It saves money, and it's healthier.
188
That is very organized of you.
189
I try.
190
I usually bring a salad or maybe some pasta.
191
Pasta is great for lunch.
192
It gives you energy for the afternoon.
193
Yes, I eat my lunch and then I like to go for a walk.
194
A walk?
195
Outside?
196
Yes, even just for 10 minutes.
197
Fresh air is good for the brain.
198
I agree completely.
199
I also go for a walk after lunch.
200
It helps me think.
201
And it feels good to move the body.
202
Sitting in a chair all day is not good.
203
No, it isn't.
204
So, the afternoon passes, we work some more.
205
Yes, more work, more emails.
206
And then the workday ends.
207
What time do you finish work?
208
I usually finish at 5 p.m.
209
5 p.m., a standard workday.
210
Yes, at 5 p.m., I turn off my computer and I go home.
211
Do you take the bus home again?
212
Yes.
213
The bus ride home is usually quieter.
214
Everyone is tired.
215
Everyone is dreaming of dinner.
216
Exactly.
217
I am definitely thinking about dinner on the bus.
218
So you arrive home.
219
What is the first thing you do?
220
The first thing, I take off my shoes.
221
Oh, yes.
222
That is the best feeling.
223
And I change my clothes.
224
I put on comfortable clothes, like sweatpants.
225
Comfortable clothes are essential.
226
I wear pajamas very early sometimes.
227
No judgment here, Sophie.
228
Pajamas are great.
229
So you are comfortable.
230
Now, what about the evening?
231
Do you cook dinner?
232
Yes, I like cooking.
233
It relaxes me.
234
That is nice.
235
Some people find cooking stressful, but you find it relaxing.
236
Yes, I put on some music, I chop vegetables.
237
It is a nice transition from work to rest.
238
A transition.
239
That means a change, moving from work time to relax time.
240
Exactly.
241
Cooking helps me forget about work.
242
What do you like to cook in the evening?
243
I make simple things, maybe soup or chicken with rice.
244
Warm food, comfort food.
245
Yes.
246
And you, Sophie?
247
What is your evening routine?
248
My evening routine is very slow.
249
I make dinner, usually something quick.
250
Quick is good.
251
Then I clean the kitchen.
252
I don't like a dirty kitchen in the morning.
253
Oh, that is very smart.
254
I sometimes leave the dishes until the morning.
255
Oh, Alex, no!
256
I know, I know.
257
It is a bad habit.
258
If you clean at night, the morning is much happier.
259
You are right.
260
I need to be more like you, Sophie.
261
Only with the dishes.
262
So after cleaning, what do you do to relax?
263
I like to watch a little bit of TV, maybe a series or a movie.
264
It is nice to turn off your grain and watch a story.
265
Yes, just for one hour.
266
And sometimes I read a book.
267
Reading is wonderful before bed.
268
It makes you sleepy.
269
It does.
270
If I read in bed, I fall asleep very fast.
271
What time do you usually go to sleep?
272
I try to be in bed by 10.30 p.m.
273
10.30 p.m.
274
That is a reasonable time.
275
I need my eight hours of sleep.
276
If I sleep less, I am grumpy the next day.
277
Grumpy.
278
That means you are not in a good mood.
279
You're a little bit angry.
280
Yes, I am not fun when I am tired.
281
I think we are all a little grumpy when we are tired.
282
So 10.30 p.m is my bedtime.
283
I turn off the lights and I sleep.
284
And then the alarm rings at 7 a.m again.
285
And the routine starts all over again.
286
It sounds like a nice routine, Alex.
287
Balanced.
288
Thank you.
289
It works for me.
290
What about your bedtime?
291
My evening routine is very similar.
292
I make dinner, usually something quick.
293
Quick is good.
294
Then I clean the kitchen.
295
I don't like a dirty kitchen in the morning.
296
Oh, that is very smart.
297
I sometimes leave the dishes until the morning.
298
Oh, Alex, no!
299
I know, I know.
300
It is a bad habit.
301
If you clean at night, the morning is much happier.
302
You are right.
303
I need to be more like you, Sophie.
304
Only with dishes.
305
So after cleaning, what do you do to relax?
306
I like to watch a little bit of TV, maybe a series or a movie.
307
It is nice to turn off your brain and watch a story.
308
Yes, just for one hour.
309
And sometimes I read a book.
310
Reading is wonderful before bed.
311
It makes you sleepy.
312
It does.
313
If I read in bed, I fall asleep very fast.
314
What time do you usually go to sleep?
315
I try to be in bed by 10.30 p.m.
316
10.30 p.m.
317
That is a reasonable time.
318
I need my eight hours of sleep.
319
If I sleep less, I am grumpy the next day.
320
Grumpy.
321
That means you are not in a good mood.
322
You're a little bit angry.
323
Yes, I am not fun when I am tired.
324
I think we are all a little grumpy when we are tired.
325
So 10.30 p.m is my bedtime.
326
I turn off the lights and I sleep.
327
And then the alarm rings at 7 a.m again.
328
And the routine starts all over again.
329
It sounds like a nice routine, Alex.
330
Balanced.
331
Thank you.
332
It works for me.
333
What about your bedtime?
334
My evening routine is similar.
335
I go to bed around 10 or 10.30 p.m.
336
Do you check your phone before bed?
337
I try not to.
338
I try to put my phone away.
339
The blue light from the phone is not good for sleep.
340
That is very true.
341
It wakes up your brain.
342
Exactly.
343
I want my brain to calm down.
344
So I read or I listen to soft music.
345
Soft music is very relaxing.
346
It is.
347
It helps me drift away.
348
Drift away into sleep.
349
That sounds very peaceful.
350
It is.
351
You know, Alex, routines are interesting.
352
Why do you think so?
353
Because everyone has one, but they are all different.
354
That is true.
355
Some people wake up at 5 a.m.
356
Some people wake up at 12 p.m.
357
Yes, night owls and early birds.
358
Exactly.
359
I'm definitely an early bird.
360
I like the morning.
361
Me too.
362
But maybe some of our listeners are night owls.
363
Maybe.
364
To our audience, are you a night owl?
365
Do you like staying up late?
366
Or do you like waking up early?
367
We would love to know.
368
It is fun to compare.
369
It is.
370
And routines help us.
371
They give structure to our day.
372
Structure.
373
That is important.
374
If we have a plan, we feel more in control.
375
Yes.
376
We feel confident.
377
I see what you did there.
378
Confident.
379
I always bring it back to confidence.
380
But it's true.
381
When you know what to do next, breakfast, bus, work, you feel calm.
382
Exactly.
383
You don't have to stress.
384
You just follow the routine.
385
And speaking of routines, practicing English should be part of the daily routine.
386
Oh, absolutely.
387
That is the best advice.
388
Even just 10 minutes a day, like listening to this podcast while you drink coffee.
389
Or while you take the bus to work.
390
Or while you wash the dishes.
391
Yes, even while washing dishes.
392
Small habits every day make a big difference.
393
That's the secret.
394
You don't need to study for five hours once a week.
395
No, it's better to listen for 10 minutes every day.
396
Consistency.
397
Doing it again and again.
398
That's how we learn.
399
Just like brushing your teeth.
400
Yes.
401
Don't forget to brush your teeth, and don't forget to practice your English.
402
Two very important things.
403
Well, Alex, I think we have covered a full day.
404
We have.
405
From the alarm clock to the pillow.
406
I feel sleepy just talking about bedtimes.
407
Me too.
408
But it was a lovely conversation.
409
It really was.
410
Thank you for sharing your day with me, Alex.
411
Thank you for asking, Sophie.
412
It is always a pleasure.
413
And thank you to our wonderful listeners for being here with us.
414
Yes, thank you for listening.
415
We hope you enjoyed this episode about daily routines.
416
We hope it helps you talk about your own day.
417
Remember, keep it simple.
418
I wake up, I eat, I work.
419
You can do it.
420
We believe in you.
421
Before we go, we have a small favor to ask.

Dicas de Prática
Para aprimorar suas habilidades de fala e pronúncia, experimente a técnica de shadowspeak, onde você escuta atentamente e repete as falas do vídeo em tempo real. O tom de voz amigável e calmo dos apresentadores facilita a compreensão e permite que você se concentre mais na entonação e no ritmo das frases. Ao praticar, mantenha uma velocidade semelhante à dos falantes e não hesite em pausar o vídeo para repetir várias vezes. Essas pausas ajudam a solidificar sua fala e a melhorar a pronúncia em inglês. Utilize essa técnica de shadow speak regularmente para observar um progresso significativo em sua fluência. Você pode começar com as frases mais simples e, à medida que se sentir confortável, incorporar as mais complexas. Lembre-se de que a prática constante é fundamental para aprender inglês com youtube e evitar a frustração durante o processo de aprendizado. Aproveite também para anotar as frases que mais gostar e use-as em suas conversas diárias.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
