Практика Shadowing: Daily Life and Routines in English | Easy English Conversation for Beginners - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

Hello everyone and welcome back to Emily English Daily, where learning English is easy and fun.

I'm Emily.

Hello Emily!

Hello everyone!

It is wonderful to be here today.

It is!

How are you, Tom?

I am good, thank you.

I am awake.

Awake.

That is a good start.

Yes, I had my coffee, so I am ready.

How are you, Emily?

I am great.

I am very happy today.

I had a good morning.

Oh, that's nice.

A good morning is very important.

It is.

And that is our topic today.

We are going to talk about our daily life, our routines.

Ah, daily routines.

Yes, this is a topic everyone has.

We all have a day.

Yes, we do.

We all have things we do every day – morning, afternoon, and night.

It sounds very interesting.

Some people think routine is a boring word.

Maybe.

But I think our routines can be very different and very interesting.

I agree.

And it is perfect for English practice.

We use simple words to talk about our day.

But first, before we talk about our day, we have a small request.

Yes, we do.

Okay, Tom.

Yes, Emily.

Daily life.

Let's start at the beginning.

The morning.

Oh no, the morning.

You do not like the morning?

Ah, Emily, I am not a morning person.

Not at all.

Oh really?

I am a morning person.

I love the morning.

Wow.

For me, the morning is very difficult.

The alarm clock.

Ah, the alarm clock, yes.

I do not like that sound.

Beep, beep, beep.

My alarm is music.

Soft music.

That is smart.

My alarm is just loud.

I wake up and I think, oh no, already?

And do you get up?

No. I press the snooze button.

The snooze button.

Yes.

Five more minutes.

But is it really five minutes?

Maybe five minutes.

Then five more minutes.

Oh, Tom!

So when do you really get out of bed?

When I must.

When it is very late.

I jump out of bed.

I'm late. That is very funny.

My morning is very different.

Tell me.

I wake up early, before the sun.

Wow!

Why?

I love the quiet.

The house is very quiet.

No cars, no noise.

It is just me.

And what do you do?

The first thing, the most important thing, is coffee.

Ah, yes, coffee.

Me too.

I run from the bed to the coffee machine.

How do you like your coffee?

I like my coffee with a little hot milk.

It is very warm and nice.

What about you?

100

I like it strong and black.

101

No milk, no sugar, just coffee.

102

Mmm.

103

And what do you do while you drink it?

104

I drink my coffee and I look at my phone.

105

Oh no, not the phone!

106

Yes, I look at the news and emails.

107

What about you?

108

I don't look at my phone.

109

I sit by the window with my coffee.

110

I just think.

111

It is very calm.

112

Maybe I should try that.

113

It is very nice.

114

Okay, so we have coffee.

115

What about breakfast?

116

Breakfast is very fast for me.

117

Because you are late?

118

Yes.

119

I eat toast.

120

Just toast with butter or maybe a banana.

121

Very easy.

122

That is very fast.

123

I like to eat a good breakfast.

124

I eat yogurt with fruit or sometimes I make eggs.

125

Eggs?

126

Wow, you have a lot of time.

127

I wake up early.

128

That's true.

129

Okay, so after breakfast we get ready for the day.

130

I take a shower.

131

I like a very hot shower.

132

Me too.

133

A hot shower is good for waking up.

134

And then the difficult part.

135

What?

136

Choosing clothes.

137

Oh, yes.

138

I look in my closet.

139

I have many clothes.

140

Shirts, pants, dresses.

141

And I always think...

142

What?

143

I have nothing to wear.

144

Yes, I know that feeling.

145

It is so silly.

146

I have so many clothes.

147

What is your system?

148

My system is very easy.

149

I only have blue shirts.

150

Really?

151

Yes.

152

Blue shirts, white shirts, grey shirts.

153

Very simple.

154

I grab one.

155

Done.

156

That is very smart.

157

It is easy.

158

No thinking.

159

Thinking is for later.

160

Okay.

161

So you have your blue shirt, I finally find a dress, and then work.

162

Yes.

163

Time to go to work.

164

How do you go to work?

165

Do you drive?

166

No. I take the bus.

167

The bus?

168

Is it good?

169

It is okay.

170

It is very crowded.

171

Many, many people.

172

I don't like crowded places.

173

Me too.

174

But I can listen to music.

175

I put in my headphones and listen to music or a podcast.

176

Oh, a podcast.

177

A good podcast?

178

Yes.

179

Sometimes I listen to Emily English daily.

180

Good choice.

181

What about you?

182

How do you get to work?

183

I drive my car.

184

Ah, your car.

185

That is nice.

186

It is nice, but the traffic is not nice.

187

Oh, yes, the traffic.

188

Many cars.

189

So many cars.

190

All going very, very slow.

191

Stop, go, stop, go.

192

Oh, that is boring.

193

It is.

194

I listen to loud music.

195

OK.

196

So we are at work.

197

What is your work day like?

198

Is it busy?

199

Yes, it is always busy.

200

The first thing I do is more coffee. Of course.

201

I go to my desk, I turn on my computer, and ugh, so many emails.

202

Ah, the emails.

203

I know.

204

I read emails, I write emails, and then I have meetings.

205

Yes, meetings.

206

Like the meeting about the big report.

207

Yes, like that meeting.

208

Talking, talking, talking.

209

My day is similar.

210

I talk to people, I help people.

211

I like my job.

212

But yes, many emails.

213

What about lunch?

214

This is my favorite part of the workday.

215

Me too.

216

Food.

217

Do you bring your lunch from home or do you buy lunch?

218

I usually buy lunch.

219

I am not very organized.

220

I go to a small cafe near my office and buy a sandwich.

221

Is it good?

222

It is very good.

223

And I like to walk for 10 minutes, get out of the office.

224

Yes, that is important.

225

I bring my lunch from home.

226

Oh, that is very good.

227

Very organized.

228

Yes, I make a salad or a sandwich at home in the morning.

229

Wow, you make eggs and a sandwich.

230

It is easy and it is cheap.

231

Buying lunch every day is expensive.

232

That is true.

233

And in the afternoon?

234

I get very sleepy.

235

Oh yes, around 3 p.m.

236

Yes, exactly 3 p.m.

237

My eyes are...

238

Do you drink more coffee?

239

Sometimes.

240

Or I drink green tea.

241

Green tea is good.

242

I eat a small snack, an apple.

243

An apple?

244

Very healthy.

245

I eat a cookie.

246

A cookie is good too.

247

Okay, so 5 p.m work is finished.

248

Yes, the best time.

249

I go home on the bus again.

250

I am very tired now.

251

I just look out the window.

252

I go home in my car.

253

The traffic is bad again.

254

Oh, no. But I am happy because I am going home.

255

Yes, home is the best.

256

What is the first thing you do when you open the door?

257

Good question.

258

I put down my keys, I put down my bag, and I say hello to my dog.

259

Oh, you have a dog?

260

Yes, his name is Max.

261

He is very happy to see me.

262

He jumps, he barks.

263

Oh, that is so nice.

264

What about you?

265

I open the door and I say hello to my cat.

266

You have a cat?

267

Yes, her name is Bella.

268

Is Bella happy to see you?

269

She is a cat.

270

Oh, I see.

271

She looks at me and says, meow.

272

What does that mean?

273

It means, hello, now give me food.

274

Cats, they are the boss.

275

Yes, Bella is the boss of my house.

276

So after you say hello to the pets, what next?

277

I change my clothes.

278

This is very important.

279

Oh, yes.

280

I take off my work clothes, my blue shirt, and I put on comfortable clothes, a t-shirt.

281

Yes, me too.

282

Comfortable clothes.

283

It feels so good.

284

And then dinner time.

285

Yes, I am usually hungry.

286

Do you cook dinner?

287

I try, but I am a bad cook.

288

A very bad cook.

289

Oh no. I burn things.

290

I burned the chicken.

291

I burned the rice.

292

One time, I think I burned the water.

293

How do you burn water?

294

I don't know.

295

I forgot it.

296

All the water was gone.

297

Oh my goodness.

298

So what do you eat for dinner?

299

I cook simple things.

300

Pasta with tomato sauce or eggs.

301

Eggs again?

302

Eggs are easy.

303

Or I order food.

304

Like pizza?

305

Yes.

306

I love pizza.

307

Pepperoni pizza.

308

Pizza is a great dinner.

309

I like cooking.

310

I cut vegetables.

311

I listen to music.

312

I like to make soup or pasta.

313

That sounds delicious.

314

You are a very good cook.

315

It is just simple food.

316

So after dinner, it is maybe 7 p.m.

317

What do you do?

318

I clean the kitchen.

319

Oh, good job.

320

Yes.

321

And then I sit on my sofa, my big red sofa, and Bella, the cat, sits with me.

322

Aww.

323

She sits on me and she sleeps.

324

Aww, that is very sweet.

325

And do you sleep too?

326

Not yet.

327

I watch TV.

328

What do you watch?

329

I like funny movies, comedies.

330

I need to laugh after a long day.

331

Yes, laughing is good.

332

I don't watch much TV.

333

I read a book.

334

Oh, reading is good.

335

What kind of books?

336

I like stories.

337

And I also have to walk Max.

338

Oh, yes, the dog.

339

He needs a walk, so we go outside for a short walk.

340

Is it nice at night?

341

It is very nice.

342

It is quiet.

343

I look at the stars.

344

That sounds lovely.

345

My cat does not like walks.

346

No, I don't think so.

347

So what time do you go to bed?

348

I go to bed late.

349

How late?

350

Maybe 11.30 p.m or midnight.

351

Midnight, Tom.

352

I know.

353

I watch one more movie or I read something on the Internet.

354

And then in the morning, you are tired.

355

Yes, it's a big circle.

356

What about you?

357

I go to bed early.

358

I'm a morning person, remember?

359

I go to bed at 10 p.m.

360

10 p.m.?

361

Wow, that is early.

362

Yes, I like my sleep.

363

I brush my teeth, I put on my pajamas, I read in bed for 10 minutes, and then… asleep.

364

That is wonderful.

365

You get a lot of sleep.

366

Yes.

367

And you, the not-a-morning person, you do not.

368

No, I do not.

369

Wow, we talked about our whole day!

370

Yes, from the alarm clock to pajamas.

371

It was so nice to hear about your day, Tom.

372

It was great to hear about yours, and about Max and Bella.

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.
