Практика Shadowing: 30 Phrasal Verbs for your Morning Routine - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

Good morning.

Let's talk about it.

We all get up in the morning, right?

Even if you are working from home or watching your kids from home or not leaving the house much in general, you still have a morning routine.

A great way to remember new English phrases is to use them in your daily life.

So today I'd like to invite you to join me on my morning routine as I talk about phrasal verbs

that you can use in the morning during your routine as you get ready for the day.

Are you ready to join me?

Let's go.

Every morning I wake up to my alarm clock or I wake up to my baby.

I try not to doze off again and push snooze, but sometimes I do.

Finally, I turn off my alarm clock and roll out of bed.

Notice the pronunciation of this phrasal verb to roll out of bed.

I didn't say I roll out of bed.

I said I roll out of bed.

The T here is going to change to a D sound, and this means that you are not so enthusiastic about waking up.

You just roll out of bed.

You could also say, I get out of bed.

That's a more neutral phrasal verb, but if you want to let people know you were really tired when you woke up this morning,

you might say, when my alarm clock went off, I just rolled out of bed, walked to the car, and went to work.

You were kind of like a zombie this morning.

You just rolled out of bed.

Next I go into the bathroom and wash off my face.

Wash off does not mean that I am completely erasing my face.

You can just say, wash my face, but we can also use this phrasal verb, wash off my face.

If you feel like you have some kind of dirt or grime that's kind of thick on your face, Maybe after you are sleeping,

there's some, we call this sleep, that kind of crusty stuff in your eyes.

You might want to wash the sleep out of your eyes.

So we are washing it out.

Wash the sleep out of my eyes or wash off my face.

Next I will put on some makeup.

Usually I just put on some makeup under my eyes to mask how tired I really am.

And I will put that away.

Sometimes I put on my glasses for the day and sometimes I choose to put in my contacts.

Now we're saying put on my glasses because they're going on my face,

but I'm putting in my contacts because they're going effectively in my eyeball.

They're going in my eyes.

So I put in my contacts and I put on my glasses.

After I've washed off my face, put on some makeup, put in my contacts, or put on my glasses, it's time to brush out my hair.

We could say simply brush out my hair, and that means you're getting the knots out of your hair,

or it could mean that you're taking your hair out of some kind of thing.

For me, this is a braid.

So I'm taking my hair out of the braid and I'm brushing out my hair.

It's kind of like erasing the knots from my hair.

I'm brushing out the knots from my hair and now it is wavy.

Usually I do this on days that I record videos.

On other days, my hair is just a wild mess.

But because I am recording a video today, you get to see behind the scenes, taking my hair out of braids.

It is a simple and easy way to have have wavy hair.

And I think it's a lot of fun.

You get to have braids, you get to have wavy hair, and it's, as you can see, takes 10 seconds.

Amazing.

That's what I like the most.

I don't know about you, but I hardly ever have my hair down.

This is what it's called when your hair is not tied back.

This is a hair tie.

There are a lot of regional words for what to call this thing.

I call it a hair tie.

But because I'm a mother, I have two young children, I'm always looking down or helping or playing and working in the garden.

I'm always doing a lot of things.

I can't have my hair in my face.

So that means that I need to use a hair tie and I need to tie back my hair.

We can use two different phrasal verbs for this.

We can say tie back or tie up.

And you can kind of get the image here.

I'm tying it back or I'm tying it up.

And it means the same thing.

I'm making this.

Do you know what this is called?

It's a little bit strange.

It's called a ponytail.

A pony is a small horse, but you can get the image of a tail of a horse kind of looks like this, right?

Swish, swish, swish.

So I'm making a ponytail in the back of my hair.

What if I had two?

What if I had two of these and I wanted to tie up my hair like this?

Do you know what these are called when you have two hair ties?

Well, Well, it is not a ponytail because ponies don't have two tails.

Instead, these are called pigtails.

Pigs don't have two tails, but I guess this is just referring to how a tail of a pig is kind of curly.

Maybe originally pigtails were kind of curly.

I'm not exactly sure, but these are pigtails.

Sometimes I wear pigtails, sometimes I don't, but they kind of get in the way when I'm trying to do things.

So usually I use that first expression.

I tie back my hair or I use a clip and we could say,

I pull back my hair.

So here you can see I'm pulling back my hair and putting it up in this clip.

So here we used similar ideas, but with two different verbs, to tie up, to tie back, to pull up, and to pull back.

It just depends on what kind of device you're using, a clip or a hair tie.

They're kind of interchangeable too.

You can pull back your hair with a hair tie.

No one's going to figuratively split hairs over this.

This means get upset about small little differences.

Nobody's going to get upset about these small differences, so you can use them interchangeably.

Next, very important, I've got my toothbrush and I need to put on the toothpaste and simply brush my teeth.

I need to spit out the toothpaste.

After spitting out the toothpaste, I need to put back my toothbrush into the little toothbrush cup.

Now that I'm ready from the shoulders up, I need to get dressed.

100

Specifically, I need to pick out my clothes.

101

I think I'm going to wear this dress today.

102

It's a lovely summer day.

103

So I picked this out.

104

I do have a closet where I could put clothes,

105

but for some reason I'll just like to have this little bar here to put my most used clothes on.

106

I find myself more likely to hang them up

107

and to take care of them

108

if it's really close to my bed where I get changed and I change my clothes before I go to bed.

109

It's easy for me to remember this.

110

I also have some drawers, some dresser drawers with some clothes in them, like socks or pants, things like this, but it is summertime.

111

So I'm going to only wear this sundress that I picked out.

112

Usually by then my baby is awake and it's time for me to pick him up.

113

Good morning, baby!

114

Is that how you feel about the morning?

115

You want to tell us what it's like to be a baby?

116

What's it like to be a baby?

117

Is that really what it's like?

118

Oh wow!

119

I never drink coffee, but most mornings I make some tea.

120

To make tea, I need to heat up some water in a kettle.

121

We can call this a tea kettle, a hot water kettle, or just a kettle.

122

And after the water has heated up, I need to pour out the water into my teapot.

123

After the tea has steeped for three or four minutes, I need to pour out the tea into my mug.

124

Or we could say simply, I need to pour the tea, or we could say pour out the tea, that's fine.

125

Or we could say, I'm going to fill up my mug with some delicious tea.

126

This is some green tea that I added some dried lavender to.

127

I have a lavender bush in my yard

128

and I put some dry lavender in here and added it to the green tea.

129

It smells amazing.

130

I forgot to show you, but I also whip up some breakfast.

131

To whip up means that you're making something really quickly.

132

Usually it's not very thoughtful.

133

It's pretty simple.

134

And for me this morning, I just whipped up a piece of toast.

135

Typically this means that you're making something instead of just cutting something.

136

So for example, part of my breakfast is this cantaloupe that came from our garden.

137

A cantaloupe is a melon.

138

I don't know if they have it in your country, but it's pretty typical here.

139

We actually grew this in our garden.

140

When I cut this cantaloupe, I wouldn't say that I whipped up the cantaloupe because I didn't make it.

141

I didn't create this even though, yes, it did come from our garden.

142

But instead, because the toast, I put some butter on it, I put some jam on it.

143

I actually made it in a way.

144

We could say I whipped up some breakfast.

145

But if you're just opening a granola bar and eating a granola bar, or if you're just cutting a piece of fruit and eating it,

146

you're not really whipping up breakfast.

147

You have to have some kind of making or creating that happens.

148

So for me, I whipped up breakfast, I made a piece of toast, And then I cut up this cantaloupe.

149

Finally, it's time for me to go over my plans for the day.

150

Go over is simply another way to say review.

151

Usually I try to be pretty organized because there's so much going on in my life.

152

I have a toddler, a newborn, a husband, so I need to keep up my relationship.

153

I'm also an individual, so I need to do things for myself as well.

154

And I am your English teacher and I run my own English teaching business.

155

So there's a lot of different hats that I have to wear.

156

For me, the key to my sanity is to keep organized.

157

So I usually have a list of the things that I want to accomplish that day or maybe that week.

158

And in the morning, I go over my plans for the day.

159

Because I work here from home, I don't need to go anywhere to work.

160

But if you are going to the office at the end of your morning routine, when you open the door of your house and leave your house,

161

you can say, I'm heading out the door.

162

This isn't just your head going out the door.

163

It just means that you're leaving your house.

164

I'm heading out the door or I'm heading to work.

165

We use that expression head to talk about the movement here.

166

I'm heading out the door.

167

I'm heading to work.

168

Where are you going?

169

I'm heading to work.

170

Great.

171

We can use this phrasal verb.

172

Hope that you enjoyed following me on my morning routine.

173

Now I have a question for you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
