1
Are you ready to think and speak in English today?
2
Let's do it.
3
If you've ever watched an English movie or TV show, I'm sure you've heard people ask, hey, hun, how was your day?
4
But have you ever asked this question to yourself?
5
If not, that changes today.
6
Over the next 30 minutes, you are going to be immersing yourself in English
7
and learning how to describe your daily routine and your vacations in English
8
so that you can think in English and speak in English.
9
And like always, I have created a free PDF worksheet for you with all of today's important vocabulary,
10
expressions, ideas, definitions, sample sentences.
11
And at the bottom of the worksheet, you can answer Vanessa's challenge question so that you never forget what you've learned.
12
You can click on the link in the description to download that free PDF worksheet today.
13
All right, let's get started by talking about your daily routine
14
and a phrase that you can use to talk about the beginning of your day.
15
If I'm lucky, first thing in the morning, I'll hear my alarm, maybe push snooze and get up slowly.
16
But if I'm not lucky, I'll hear one of my children screaming, mommy, and I have to get out of bed first thing.
17
I used this expression first thing two times.
18
The first time was at the beginning of a phrase.
19
first thing in the morning.
20
Make sure that you don't add first of the things or first of the, it's only first thing.
21
First thing in the morning, I hear my alarm.
22
Or we could use it at the end of a phrase like you just heard me say.
23
I might say, I wake up and make coffee first thing.
24
I make coffee first thing.
25
Actually, for me, I don't make coffee.
26
I don't even know if I know how to make coffee.
27
I always make tea.
28
I'm quite a amateur, maybe say newbie, or maybe clueless when it comes to coffee.
29
My husband, Dan, likes coffee, but I could say I wake up and make tea.
30
First thing, beautiful phrase.
31
Let's go to the next part of my morning.
32
After I'm awake, I head to the kitchen and start to make some breakfast.
33
Sometimes my kids and I read a book
34
or play a little game at breakfast because not everyone in our house is a morning person.
35
Sometimes at least one of us will wake up on the wrong side of the bed.
36
So having a little bit of fun lightens the mood and helps you to start your day off right.
37
Do you know what a morning person is?
38
A morning person is someone who wakes up happy, ready to start the day.
39
Are you a morning person?
40
Or maybe you wake up on the wrong side of the bed.
41
This is a little bit metaphorical.
42
There's not really a good side of the bed and a bad side of the bed, but it means that you wake up grumpy,
43
maybe a little cranky, maybe not so happy.
44
You could say, oh, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.
45
I need some coffee or tea if you're me.
46
Then after breakfast, I drop my son Theo off at preschool.
47
This phrasal verb to drop off can be used for people or for things.
48
So you heard me use it for people.
49
I drop my son Theo off at school, or we could put it together.
50
I drop off my son at preschool.
51
But we could also drop something off.
52
I dropped my computer off at the repair shop.
53
Make sure that you don't forget the word off, because if you just say, I dropped my computer at the repair shop,
54
it means your computer fell on the ground, broke.
55
Luckily, you're at the repair shop, but it means something really different than to drop off.
56
So make sure that you say, I dropped off my computer at the repair shop, or I dropped my computer off at the repair shop.
57
Then I come home to start my work day.
58
Usually I catch up on some emails.
59
I go over any lessons that I'm going to have for my students.
60
And sometimes I just call a friend to catch up.
61
This phrasal verb to catch up or to catch up on is often used in daily life.
62
And you can probably use it in your life too.
63
Let's take a look at some situations.
64
Let's imagine you've had a super busy week and it's the weekend and you look around and your house is a disaster.
65
Right now, my couch is covered in blankets.
66
This table has papers and everything all over it.
67
Oh boy, I need to catch up on chores.
68
I need to catch up on some cleaning that I didn't do during the week.
69
Can you guess what this means?
70
There's something that you've delayed doing.
71
Maybe you don't want to, or you don't have time, and now it's time to do it.
72
So I could say I need to catch up on some emails
73
or i need to catch up on some cleaning
74
but i also used this to talk about my friend i call my friend to catch up.
75
Well, it kind of has the same idea.
76
I haven't talked to my friend for a while and now we're talking about everything that's happened since we last talked.
77
So if you see someone, maybe you're in the grocery store and you run across someone who you haven't seen for a while,
78
you might say, hey, you want to go get some coffee and catch up?
79
That means I haven't seen you for a while.
80
I want to hear everything that's been happening.
81
Let's catch up.
82
I also said in my little story that I'd go over some lessons.
83
And this is simply a really common way to say review.
84
You can use this in the workplace a lot.
85
You might ask someone to help you out.
86
You could say, hey, could you go over this email before I send it?
87
Maybe you're writing a really important email and you want to make sure you have everything right.
88
You could ask a coworker, hey, when you have a second, could you go over this email before I send it?
89
I would really appreciate it." That's so polite.
90
And also if the other person is a kind person, they might feel kind of good about themselves.
91
Like, oh, you think my opinion and my ideas are important and worthwhile?
92
Sure, I'll go over that email for you.
93
I will give it my stamp of approval.
94
When I finish my work, I pick up my son from preschool and we head home.
95
This verb, to head somewhere, is used all the time.
96
Let me give you a couple situations.
97
You might say, like I just did, I'm heading home.
98
That means you're going in the direction of home.
99
You're not there yet.
100
You're not stopped, but that's where you're going.
101
I'm heading home.
102
Or if someone calls you and says, what are you doing?
103
You could say, I'm headed to the store.
104
I'm headed to the store.
105
In American English, the store usually means the grocery store or the supermarket.
106
You're going to go buy some food.
107
I'm headed to the store.
108
Or if you're ready to go and everyone else is just taking their good old time, you could say, all right, it's time to head out.
109
This phrase to head out means out of the house.
110
Come on, it's time to head out.
111
Let's go.
112
A great way to use to head, to head out.
113
When we get home, sometimes my son and I have a little tea party together and chat about his day.
114
Usually as we're eating and drinking, he kind of opens up about his day.
115
And if he doesn't open up while we're eating, sometimes I ask some specific questions like, how many holes did you dig today?
116
Did you jump in the leaf pile?
117
He goes to an outdoor nature school, so they play outside all day, all weather, any season.
118
They're pretty tough.
119
They have lots of good warm clothes,
120
but asking these types of specific questions can help him to kind of review his day in an easier way.
121
You might hear people in movies and TV shows using the phrase, tell me about your day, or what did you do today,
122
or what did you learn in school today, even worse.
123
These types of broad questions usually we don't really like to answer, especially at the end of the day.
124
You feel like you just want to detox, decompress, and it's tough to summarize your day in just a few words like that.
125
So maybe when you were a kid, if your mom asked you, what did you learn in school today?
126
You probably said, oh, nothing, because it's just too hard to summarize your day.
127
So if you have a significant other, if you have kids, if you're just asking someone about their day, I recommend, first of all,
128
doing something together, spending some quality time together.
129
You don't have to have a tea party, although I highly recommend it.
130
Very fun.
131
All you need is some tea, maybe a little snack, cut up an apple.
132
have some nuts or dried fruit, whatever you like.
133
And just spending quality time together can help someone to open up.
134
This is a phrase we're going to use in just a minute.
135
I want to tell you about it.
136
But I recommend if someone doesn't open up, asking specific questions.
137
This helps someone to recall the information that happened to them during the day, especially with kids.
138
This is helpful because they're just living their life.
139
They're not thinking about summarizing at the end of the day.
140
So when you ask a specific question, oh, what game did you play at recess today?
141
Oh, did you eat anyone else's food at lunch today?
142
These specific questions can help your child to open up.
143
And this phrasal verb to open up is beautiful.
144
I love this concept.
145
When you're talking with someone, usually at the beginning, there's kind of a wall.
146
You don't immediately share your deepest thoughts.
147
If someone says, hey, Vanessa, how are you doing today?
148
No matter how I'm really feeling, I'll always say, oh, pretty good.
149
What about you?
150
Because I'm not ready to open up.
151
In those types of passing situations, we're just not comfortable sharing our inner thoughts.
152
So when you spend quality time together, that wall kind of.. drifts away a little more and someone might be more willing to be vulnerable.
153
And that's the idea.
154
When you open up, that means that you're willing to talk about your struggles, something difficult in your life, something really meaningful in your life,
155
not just the surface shallow things, but when you really open up to someone, you're being your authentic self.
156
So just remember these Vanessa tips the next time that you want someone to open up to you.
157
All right, let's go to the next part of my day.
158
When the weather's nice, usually our neighbors come over and hang out.
159
Sometimes we have snacks, sometimes we play games, sometimes we just chat, but because my backyard is very sunny, it's a favorite hangout spot.
160
And this word, to hang out, can be used in two different ways.
161
It can be used as a verb.
162
We love to hang out in the backyard.
163
This means to casually spend time, time, usually with other people.
164
We hang out together.
165
Or it can be used as a noun.
166
This is a hangout.
167
Or as an adjective, so I guess we can use this in three ways, a hangout spot.
168
So it's describing this location.
169
What kind of location is it?
170
It's a hangout spot.
171
It's not a professional place.
172
It's not a private place.
173
Instead, it's a hangout spot.
174
It's where we just go to spend time with other people.
175
After hanging out with friends, as As the sun starts to go down, usually we come inside and start to cook dinner.
176
While we're eating dinner, we try to sit down at the table as a family.
177
It's nice to try to have a little bit of quality time together.
178
So we like to ask each other some questions.
179
The most common questions, in fact, my four -year -old son, Theo, loves to ask these to us.
180
He asks us one by one, what was the best part of your day? day.
181
And when everyone has answered, he asks, what was the most challenging part of your day?
182
And it's so funny, the things that kids will say to these questions.
183
So if you haven't done this in your home, if your kids aren't familiar with English, it's okay.
184
You can ask in your native language, but asking these questions helps to kind of prompt conversation a bit.
185
And when you're opening up about the best thing or the most challenging thing about your day,
186
it kind of encourages the other people at the table to open up to.
187
Oh, what great phrasal verb that we just learned about.
188
There are two phrases I want to share with you that I just mentioned.
189
One of them is as a family.
190
Now this just means the group, the whole group, the family group, but we can use the same structure in other ways.
191
We could say as a family, as a neighborhood, as a community, as a department, as an office.
192
So it's talking about all the people that are in that group.
193
So for example, you could say, it's important to spend some time together as a couple without your kids.
194
So if you have kids, spending time without them is very important.
195
So you could say as a couple, just you and your significant other, it's important to be together without your kids occasionally.
196
Another expression that I used is quality time.
197
I already mentioned this when I was talking about the tea party.
198
I think I might've mentioned it.
199
If not, having a tea party is good quality time too, but it means that you're not just having a shallow experience together.
200
It's not rushed.
201
You don't have to go anywhere.
202
You're just enjoying each other's presence.
203
So I really encourage you to try to spend some quality time with someone this week.
204
It means that you don't need to go anywhere.
205
You don't have any kind of schedule.
206
You have a full hour just to take a walk with a friend
207
or to chat on the phone or to play a game with your kids, something that's quality time.
208
There's no agenda.
209
You're just enjoying being together.
210
After dinner, we clean up, we put the kids to bed, we tuck them in and tell them, sleep tight.
211
So one of these expressions that I used, you have to be very careful about.
212
I said, we put the kids to bed.
213
This means that we help them sleep.
214
So maybe we brush their teeth, we read some books, we sing some songs, and we help them to relax.
215
When you say, we put the kids to bed,
216
that's what it means, but you have to be very careful because if you change the word bed for sleep,
217
if you put someone to sleep, it's very different.
218
Usually this is a pet.
219
So if we said, I had to put my dog to sleep last week, it means you had to euthanize,
220
which is a nice way to say, kill your dog.
221
Maybe that means he was really old.
222
He was suffering.
223
It's a really tough thing to do, too, but it's often necessary.
224
So make sure that you do not say, I had to put my kids to sleep.
225
Instead, I had to put my kids to bed.
226
Oh, much better.
227
Of course, if you say your kids, people are probably going to understand that you mean you helped them sleep.
228
But just to make certain that you're using the best expression, you can say, I put my kids to bed every night at seven o 'clock.
229
I put my kids to bed.
230
Beautiful.
231
The final thing that I say to my kids before they go to bed is sleep tight.
232
What?
233
Tight?
234
This is a fun expression that's actually shortened from another full expression.
235
It is good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.
236
Of course, we hope you don't have bugs in your bed.
237
This is a very old expression.
238
Sometimes we say that full expression, good night, sleep tight.
239
Sometimes we say, good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.
240
But oftentimes we just shorten that to good night, sleep tight, or just sleep tight.
241
And it just means I hope you sleep well.
242
So if you hear people say this in English movies or TV shows, or if you want to say this yourself, it's great.
243
A very natural thing to say at the end of the night.
244
After the kids are in bed, Dan, my husband, and I have some precious downtime.
245
Sometimes we get caught up on chores, maybe get caught up on a book that we're reading.
246
Sometimes just chat about our day and decompress.
247
This is a great expression, downtime.
248
It means you have nothing else to do except decompress and relax.
249
It's essential to have downtime, especially before you go to bed.
250
If you're looking at Instagram while you're in your bed.
251
Oh no, no, no. Stop that right away.
252
It's very bad for your sleep.
253
You need to have some downtime.
254
Give yourself a one hour pause before you go to bed to try to slow your mind down.
255
Having some downtime with someone you love or just by yourself, relaxing is essential.
256
When the day's over, it's finally time to hit the hay.
257
If I've had a really busy day, I might just sleep like a log, but if I'm feeling a bit stressed
258
or there's a lot going on in my mind I might toss and turn a bit before finally falling asleep.
259
And fingers crossed that my children sleep all night
260
so I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to help them.
261
And that's my day.
262
Let's talk about some of those expressions I just used.
263
To hit the hay does not mean that I'm a farmer
264
and I have a last minute chore at the end of the day, I need to hit the hay.
265
No, instead it just means sleep.
266
I need to hit the hay.
267
My head needs to go the pillow.
268
I need to hit the hay.
269
And I also said that I might sleep like a log.
270
Does a log move?
271
Does a log make any sounds?
272
Nope.
273
It's just a tree that fell over and there it is.
274
Nice and silent and still.
275
It means you slept very soundly, very quietly and peacefully.
276
But to toss and turn, on the other hand, the toss and turn means that you did not sleep peacefully, or at least you
277
You didn't go to bed peacefully.
278
Your body and your mind is too active.
279
You tossed and turned.
280
What about the last one I used?
281
Fingers crossed.
282
This is just a fun way to say, I hope that my kids sleep all night.
283
Fingers crossed that my kids sleep all night and me too.
284
Thank you for joining me for my daily routine.
285
I'm curious if your daily routine is similar to mine.
286
Let's move on and advance your English skills to help you think
287
and speak in English by talking about another important part of your life, which is vacation.
288
I hope that you had a special vacation this past summer, and I'd like to help you speak about it in English.
289
So I want you to hear about my vacation
290
and learn some important words that you can use to help you think and speak in English.
291
Let's watch.
292
My family went on a four hour road trip to West Virginia to meet up with Dan's side of the family.
293
Unfortunately, Dan's brother got bronchitis, so he couldn't come.
294
A road trip is when you drive a long distance and usually the journey is also important.
295
These are common trips in the US, maybe because the US is so big.
296
Let's take a look at another sample sentence.
297
Some of my favorite memories from childhood vacations are taking road trips across the country.
298
You also heard me use the phrase to meet up with.
299
This is used when you are getting together with someone who you already know.
300
Let's take a look at this sentence.
301
We made plans to meet up with our friends while we were traveling in Spain.
302
All right, let's continue with my summer vacation story.
303
We rented a cabin in the woods that also had a hot tub or jacuzzi that my kids loved.
304
The word rent is commonly used for vacations.
305
You might rent an Airbnb.
306
You might rent a car.
307
Or maybe you could say we rented an RV so that we could take a road trip around the US.
308
All right, let's continue.
309
We went hiking and rock climbing.
310
We made a bonfire and we ate amazing food, including a five course wine tasting that
311
Dan's parents put on, that was amazing.
312
On our vacation, we did three common activities that we do outdoors on vacation.
313
We went hiking, we went rock climbing, and we had a bonfire.
314
I'm curious if having a bonfire is common in your country.
315
I know sometimes this is really common, but sometimes it's almost unbelievable, especially if you live in a big city.
316
But personally, I love having a bonfire, especially because I like to eat marshmallows.
317
All right, let's continue with my story.
318
Because it was the summertime and we were in the woods, we made sure that everyone wore bug spray and sunblock
319
because nothing can ruin a vacation faster than lots of bug bites and getting a sunburn.
320
I don't know if this is true in your country, but where I live, there are a lot of mosquitoes,
321
so we have to wear bug spray often.
322
And what happens if you don't wear bug spray?
323
You get a bug bite.
324
We also have to wear sunblock.
325
Sometimes people call this sunscreen.
326
What happens if you don't wear sunscreen?
327
Well, you get a sunburn.
328
Not good.
329
Let's go on with my story.
330
Well, we were having so much fun in West Virginia
331
that we decided to extend our vacation and drive four hours further north to Dan's sister's house for five more days.
332
And thankfully, our generous neighbor said that she could watch our cats, our chickens in our house for a little bit longer.
333
Let's take a look at this word to watch.
334
Yes, we can use to watch for.
335
I watch TV, but it's also often used for taking care of something.
336
I watched two kids over the summer.
337
Okay.
338
That means you were a babysitter or a nanny over the summer.
339
You took care of those two kids.
340
So we could also say, could you watch my house while I'm gone next week?
341
That means could you take care of my house while I'm gone next week?
342
All right, let's continue.
343
In Pittsburgh, we hung out a lot together.
344
We went to the zoo and you know what?
345
I got stuck in the elevator at the zoo for 20 minutes.
346
It was a little bit scary.
347
This is a lovely phrasal verb that you can use at any time in your life.
348
To hang out with someone is simply to spend casual time together.
349
Hey, you want to hang out?
350
Oh, it was great hanging out last week.
351
Great phrasal verb to use.
352
What about this one? to get stuck.
353
This could be used physically.
354
I got stuck in the elevator.
355
He got stuck in traffic.
356
But we can also use this mentally.
357
If you're speaking in English and you just can't remember the words that you're trying to say,
358
you might say, oh, I just got stuck and I can't remember the next word.
359
You're not physically stuck, but your brain will not go to the correct word.
360
So I hope this lesson will help you to find more words in your vocabulary
361
so you can speak exactly the way that you would like.
362
All right, let's continue my story.
363
During our trip, my sister -in -law found out the gender of her third baby.
364
It was quite a surprise and it was so fun to celebrate with her.
365
This is another phrasal verb.
366
To find out something means that you are learning a new piece of information.
367
Let's take a look at the sample sentence.
368
I found out about the surprise party because I heard them talking on the phone.
369
Oops.
370
All right, let's continue with my story.
371
During the week, we rented a private karaoke room for Dan's sister's birthday, and there were about 20 people there.
372
Dan and his friend sang an improvised happy birthday song, and it was hilarious and quite a crowd pleaser.
373
This word, a crowd pleaser, means that everyone loves it.
374
You might say this, I went to the circus
375
and I saw a woman shoot flaming arrows from her bow with her feet.
376
It was a crowd pleaser.
377
It was incredible.
378
All right, let's keep going.
379
Then we went to our friend's wedding, which was actually at her mom's house, and it was perfect.
380
This was my kid's first wedding, and I think it was the best wedding they could have gone to.
381
The ceremony was blessedly short.
382
They had homemade pizza made for each person, and they had a blast dancing.
383
This is a lovely expression, to have a blast, and it just means that you're having so much fun.
384
You might say, we went to the beach last week and you wouldn't believe it.
385
We had a blast just staying in our beach house, laughing and playing games.
386
We only went to the beach two days.
387
I hope that you have a blast on your vacation.
388
All right, let's keep going.
389
Something amazing happened at that wedding.
390
Our friend, the bride, hired a silhouette artist to cut a silhouette for each of the guests.
391
It was an amazing souvenir.
392
I'll show it to you here.
393
This is really something that I'll treasure forever.
394
Can you believe she hand cut that by just looking at us in about 10 seconds?
395
Incredible.
396
This word, a silhouette, is a fun one.
397
It usually means the outline of something.
398
So you might say, before I got glasses, I could only see the silhouette of the trees.
399
And then when I got glasses, I could see the leaves.
400
Amazing.
401
Have you ever been traveling and gotten a souvenir for my son?
402
You know what he loves to get as a souvenir?
403
A rock.
404
Wherever we go, it might be a rock from a parking lot, it might be a rock from a creek.
405
His favorite souvenirs are rocks.
406
All right, let's keep going.
407
In both West Virginia and Pittsburgh, we had so much fun bonding and just spending quality time together.
408
Both of these words, to bond with someone and to spend quality time with someone, mean that you are deepening your relationship with someone else.
409
Let's take a look at this sentence.
410
The COVID -19 pandemic was a really hard time, but my family got to spend a lot of quality time together.
411
And in the end, we really bonded during that tough time.
412
All right, let's continue and go to the end of my vacation story.
413
Finally, after our eight hour trip home, which ended up being something like 11 hours total,
414
we made it home and it was time to get back to the real world.
415
This phrase, to get back to the real world, is when we often use at the end of vacation,
416
you've almost been living in a fantasy world.
417
Maybe you've been at the beach, maybe you went to another country, and then when you get home, boom, the real world hits.
418
So you might say, oh, I'm not ready to get back to the real world.
419
Or on the other hand, you might say, you know what, I'm kind of ready to get back to the real world.
420
This vacation was great, but it was long enough.
421
Well, thank you for joining me for my summer vacation
422
and congratulations on leveling up your English skills to help you think and speak in English.
423

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.
