Today's topic is something We all do every single day.
10
That's right.
11
We're talking about habits.
12
Yes, the things we do regularly, sometimes without even thinking about them.
13
So grab a cup of tea or coffee, get comfortable, and let's dive in.
14
you You know, Lily, I've been thinking about my habits lately.
15
Oh, really?
16
What made you think about them?
17
Well, this morning I realized I do the exact same thing every single morning.
18
I wake up.
19
stretch, check the weather on my phone, and then I immediately head to the kitchen.
20
That sounds familiar.
21
What do you do in the kitchen?
22
I always start with a glass of cold water.
23
Then I turn on the kettle for tea.
24
While the water boils, I open the window to get some fresh air.
25
That's a lovely morning routine!
26
I'm quite different.
27
I tend to hit the snooze button at least twice before I actually get up.
28
Only twice?
29
That's not so bad.
30
Well, sometimes it's three times.
31
Then I stumble to the bathroom, brush my teeth, and look in the mirror thinking, "I'm not Why am I so tired?
32
Every single day?
33
Pretty much.
34
But after my shower, I feel much better.
35
Then I can start my day properly.
36
It's interesting how we all have these little patterns we follow.
37
Absolutely.
38
And that's exactly what we're going to explore today.
39
How to talk about these patterns, these habits in English.
40
Before we go further, let's talk about how we express habits in English.
41
Good idea.
42
There are some important words we use when talking about how often we do things.
43
These are called adverbs of frequency.
44
They tell us how regularly something happens.
45
For example, If something happens 100 % of the time, we say "always." I always brush my teeth before bed.
46
Every single night, no exceptions.
47
On the other hand, if something never happens, we use never.
48
I never drink coffee after 6 p .m.
49
Not even once.
50
Between always and never, We have words like "usually" That's about 80 to 90 % of the time.
51
often is maybe 60 to 70 percent of the time.
52
I often go jogging in the park.
53
sometimes is right in the middle maybe 40 to 50%.
54
I sometimes cook dinner, but sometimes I order takeout.
55
and rarely or seldom means not very often.
56
maybe 10 to 20 % of the time.
57
These words usually come before the main verb, but they come after the verb "to be".
58
For example, I usually wake up early. But...
59
I am usually awake by 7 a .m.
60
Got it?
61
Great!
62
Now let's practice using these words as we talk about real habits.
63
Let's start with morning habits, since we already began talking about them.
64
Morning routines are so personal, aren't they?
65
Everyone does something different.
66
They really are.
67
Tom, what's the absolute first thing you do when you open your eyes?
68
Honestly?
69
I usually grab my phone from the nightstand.
70
To check the time, To check the time, yes, but also to see if I have any important messages or emails.
71
I do the same thing.
72
Though I know it's probably not the healthiest habit.
73
My optometrist told me I should look out the window first thing to give my eyes natural light instead of screen light.
74
That's smart advice.
75
Do you follow it?
76
Sometimes I try, but old habits are hard to break.
77
After checking my phone, I always stretch while still in bed.
78
It helps wake up my body.
79
I rarely stretch in bed.
80
I'm usually in such a rush that I jump right up.
81
Why are you in a rush?
82
Because I hit snooze so many times.
83
By the time I actually get up, I'm already behind schedule.
84
That's funny.
85
What about breakfast?
86
Do you have a breakfast routine?
87
I do.
88
I always have breakfast.
89
I can't function without it.
90
I usually make scrambled eggs with toast.
91
It's quick and filling.
92
Every day the same thing?
93
Most days, yes.
94
But on weekends, I sometimes make pancakes or French toast.
95
What about you?
96
I'm more of a light breakfast person.
97
I typically have yogurt with granola and honey.
98
and I always add berries.
99
blueberries, or strawberries.
100
That sounds healthy and delicious.
101
It is, but I must confess, I never make coffee at home.
102
Never?
103
Never.
104
I always stop at a coffee shop on my way to work.
105
It's become my little morning treat.
106
That's an expensive habit, though.
107
I know, I know.
108
But the barista knows my order.
109
And it makes me feel good to start the day with a nice coffee and a friendly conversation.
110
Speaking of work, let's talk about work habits.
111
Tom, when you get to work, what's the first thing you do?
112
I always check my email first thing.
113
Then, I usually make a priority list of the three most important tasks for the day.
114
Only three tasks.
115
Only three main ones, If I write more, I feel overwhelmed.
116
I often complete those three and then add more if I have time.
117
That's a good strategy.
118
I tend to write everything down.
119
Big tasks, small tasks, everything.
120
And does that work for you?
121
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I often get distracted by the small, easy tasks, and forget about the important ones.
122
That's a common problem.
123
We usually do the easy things first because they make us feel productive.
124
Exactly!
125
Another work habit I have is taking breaks.
126
I always take a break every 90 minutes.
127
What do you do during your break?
128
I usually stand up, walk around the office, maybe get some water or tea.
129
I sometimes step outside for fresh air if the weather is nice.
130
I rarely take regular breaks.
131
I often just work straight through until lunch.
132
Tom.
133
That's not healthy.
134
You need to rest your eyes and your brain.
135
You're right.
136
I should build that habit.
137
What time do you usually eat lunch?
138
I typically eat around 1 :00 p .m.
139
I'm not very hungry at noon.
140
Do you eat lunch at your desk?
141
I often do, yes.
142
I usually eat while answering emails or reading articles.
143
That's another bad habit.
144
You should take a proper lunch break.
145
I know, I know.
146
I'm learning all about my bad habits today.
147
Let's move on to evening habits.
148
What do you do after work, Tom?
149
After work, I usually feel quite drained, so I typically go straight home.
150
I rarely go out on weekday evenings.
151
What do you do when you get home?
152
First, I always change into comfortable clothes immediately.
153
I can't relax in my work clothes.
154
Me too!
155
I never stay in my work clothes for longer than five minutes after getting home.
156
Then I usually prepare dinner.
157
I often cook simple meals pasta, stir -fry, salads Things that don't take too long.
158
Do you cook every evening?
159
Most evenings, yes.
160
But I sometimes order takeout on Fridays because I'm too tired after a long week.
161
That's fair.
162
I'm not much of a cook, so I usually prepare easy things, too.
163
I often make a big pot of soup on Sunday and eat it throughout the week.
164
That's smart.
165
Meal prep is a great habit.
166
What do you do after dinner?
167
I always wash the dishes right away.
168
I hate waking up to a dirty kitchen.
169
I'm the opposite.
170
I often leave the dishes in the sink and wash them before bed or the next morning.
171
Tom.
172
Another bad habit.
173
I prefer to think of it as delaying, not avoiding.
174
after dishes, or after not doing dishes, I usually watch something on TV.
175
What do you watch?
176
I typically watch documentaries or series.
177
I'm currently watching a nature documentary series about oceans.
178
That sounds interesting.
179

I understand that completely.
181
Do you have any habits before bed?
182
I have a whole bedtime routine.
183
I always take a warm shower about an hour before bed.
184
Then I usually read for 20 to 30 minutes.
185
physical books or on a device.
186
Always Physical Books.
187
I never read on my phone or tablet before bed because the blue light keeps me awake.
188
That's a healthy habit.
189
I should do that.
190
Instead, I often scroll through social media in bed.
191
How often?
192
Almost every night, I tell myself I'll only look for five minutes but it usually turns into 30 minutes or more.
193
That's a habit worth changing.
194
The blue light and the stimulation from social media can really affect your sleep quality.
195
You're absolutely right.
196
I rarely sleep well after spending time on my phone.
197
Now let's talk about weekends.
198
Are your weekend habits very different from weekdays?
199
Oh yes, completely different.
200
On Saturday mornings, I never set an alarm.
201
I just wake up naturally.
202
What time is that usually?
203
around 9 or 9 :30.
204
Sometimes even 10 if I'm really tired.
205
It's such a luxury.
206
I'm the opposite.
207
My body always wakes me up around 7 a .m., even on weekends.
208
I can never sleep in.
209
Really?
210
Even if you stay up late, Even then, My internal clock is very strong.

I typically clean my apartment on Saturday mornings.
218
I always do laundry, vacuum, and tidy up.
219
every Saturday?
220
Almost every Saturday.
221
It's become a routine I actually enjoy.
222
There's something satisfying about having a clean home for the weekend.
223
I usually clean on Sunday afternoons instead.
224
On Saturdays, I often meet friends for brunch or lunch.
225
That sounds lovely.
226
Where do you go?
227
We usually try different restaurants around the city.
228
We're always looking for new places.
229
What a fun habit! And Sundays?

I usually do grocery shopping, meal prep for the week, And I often do some planning for the week ahead.
232
You sound very organized.
233
I try to be.
234
Sunday evenings are my relaxation time, though.
235
I always take a long bath with candles and music.
236
That's a wonderful self -care habit.
237
Now let's be honest about our bad habits.
238
We've mentioned a few already.
239
Oh boy, where do I start?
240
I often procrastinate.
241
especially with boring tasks.
242
What do you procrastinate on?
243
paperwork mostly.
244
I sometimes let bills pile up before I pay them.
245
and I rarely organize my files, whether digital or physical.
246
I have a similar problem.
247
I never delete old emails.
248
My inbox has thousands of unread messages.
249
Thousands?
250
That would stress me out.
251
I usually just ignore it.
252
Another bad habit I have is snacking late at night.
253
I often eat chips or cookies while watching TV.
254
How late?
255

257
I have that same habit.
258
I typically crave something sweet after dinner.
259
Another one of my bad habits is that I rarely exercise.
260
I always have good intentions, but I seldom actually go to the gym.
261
How often do you go?
262
Maybe once or twice a month.
263
I always think, I'll start next week.
264
But next week never comes.
265
I understand that feeling.
266
My bad habit is staying up too late.
267
I usually go to bed after midnight.
268
Even when I have to wake up early, Why do you stay up so late?
269
I often get caught up in watching videos or reading articles.
270
I tell myself, just one more but it never is.
271
We really need to work on these habits.
272
Okay, we've talked about so many habits, Now let's review some key vocabulary.
273
Great idea!
274
Let's make sure everyone understands the important words we've been using.
275
First, let's talk about the word habit itself.
276
Lily, what's a habit?
277
A habit is an action or behavior that you do regularly.
278
often without thinking about it.
279
It becomes automatic over time.
280
Can you give us three examples?
281
Sure.
282
Biting your nails is a habit.
283
Drinking coffee every morning is a habit.
284
Checking your phone constantly is a habit.
285
Perfect!
286
Now, let's review those frequency words.
287
Let's start with "always".
288
I always brush my teeth twice a day.
289
This means every single time.
290
100%.
291
There are no exceptions.
292
I always lock my door when I leave home.
293
I never forget.
294
Now the opposite.
295
Never.
296
I never eat breakfast in bed.
297
Never means not even once.
298
0 % of the time.
299
I never smoke.
300
Not ever.
301
What about usually?
302
usually means most of the time.
303
around 80 to 90 percent.
304
I usually drink tea in the morning.
305
Most days I do, but occasionally I might have juice instead.
306
I usually walk to work.
307
It's my normal routine, but sometimes if it's raining heavily, I take the bus.
308
Next is often.
309
This means frequently.
310
Many times.
311
I often listen to podcasts while I'm cooking.
312
How is often different from usually?
313
Good question!
314
usually suggests it's your normal routine.
315
while often just means it happens frequently but maybe not as regularly.
316
I see.
317
So, "I usually have lunch at 1pm" means that's my regular lunchtime.
318
But "I often eat salad for lunch" means I eat salad frequently but not every day.
319
Exactly.
320
Now what about sometimes?
321
Sometimes means occasionally, on some occasions but not others.
322
It's about 40 to 50 percent of the time.
323
I sometimes go to the cinema on weekends.
324
I sometimes stay up past midnight, but not very often.
325
Then we have rarely or seldom.
326
These words mean not often, only occasionally.
327
maybe 10 to 20 % of the time.
328
I rarely eat fast food.
329
Maybe once every few months.
330
I seldom watch live TV anymore.
331
Almost everything I watch is streaming.
332
Great examples: Now let's talk about routine.
333
What's a routine, Tom?
334
A routine is a sequence of actions that you do regularly in the same order.
335
It's like a pattern or a schedule you follow.
336
Your morning routine might be, Wake up.
337
Shower.
338
Get dressed.
339
Eat breakfast.
340
Brush teeth.
341
Leave for work.
342
The same order every day.
343
My bedtime routine is shower, brush teeth, read for 15 minutes, turn off lights, sleep.
344
Having a routine can make life easier because you don't have to think about what to do next.
345
Now, let's look at some phrasal verbs we use with habits.
346
Wake up! to stop sleeping and become conscious.
347
I wake up at 7 a .m every weekday.
348
The alarm wakes me up.
349
get up, to physically rise from bed.
350
I wake up at 7, but I don't actually get up until 7 .15.
351
Give up to stop doing something, to quit a habit.
352
I'm trying to give up drinking soda.
353
It has too much sugar.
354
Cut down on to reduce the amount of something you do.
355
I need to cut down on screen time before bed.
356
I spend too much time on my phone.
357
Build up to gradually develop or create something like a good habit.
358
I'm trying to build up my exercise routine.
359
I started with 10 minutes a day.
360
Now I do 20.
361
These are all very useful phrases for talking about habits.
362
Wow, we've covered so much today.
363
We really have.
364
Let's do a quick recap.
365
Today we learned how to talk about habits in English.
366
We discussed different types of habits, morning habits, work habits, evening habits, and weekend habits.
367
We practiced using frequency adverbs.
368
Always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, And never.
369
We talked about good habits like exercising regularly, Eating healthy food.
370
and having a consistent sleep schedule.
371
And we were honest about bad habits like procrastinating, Eating late at night and spending too much time on our phones.
372
We learned that habits are behaviors we do regularly, often automatically, and that they can be positive or negative.
373
We also learned that routines are sequences of habits that we follow in the same order.
374
The important thing to remember is that habits can be changed.
375
It takes time and effort, but you can build new good habits and break old bad ones.
376
Start small.
377
Don't try to change everything at once.
378
Pick one habit to work on and be consistent.
379
Great advice, Tom.
380
Now it's your turn to practice.
381
We have a question for you.
382
Here's today's question: What is one good habit you have, and what is one habit you want to develop?
383
Write your answer in the comments below.
384
Try to use some of the vocabulary we learned today.
385
For example: You could write, My good habit is that I always drink water when I wake up.
386
I want to develop the habit of reading before bed instead of using my phone.
387
Or, I usually exercise three times a week, which is a good habit.
388
But I want to build the habit of going to bed earlier.
389
We read every single comment, and we love hearing about your English learning journey.
390

The most important thing is to practice.

Почему стоит практиковать разговор на основе этого видео?

Изучение английского языка может быть увлекательным, особенно когда вы получаете практику в естественном контексте. Видео "Секреты английского разговора" предлагает уникальную возможность для тех, кто хочет учить английский с YouTube. Вы услышите, как носители языка обсуждают свои повседневные привычки, что поможет вам улучшить свои разговорные навыки и сделать ваш английский более естественным. Применяя методы shadowing английский, вы не только повторяете за говорящими, но и погружаетесь в реальный разговорный английский, что позволяет легко усвоить лексику и интонацию. Давайте подробнее рассмотрим, какие грамматические структуры и словосочетания помогут вам в этом процессе.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

В видео рассматриваются несколько важных языковых конструкций, которые позволяют говорить о привычках. Вот некоторые из них:

  • Always – всегда. Пример: "I always brush my teeth before bed." ("Я всегда чистлю зубы перед сном.") Это выражение показывает 100% частоту действия.
  • Never – никогда. Пример: "I never drink coffee after 6 p.m." ("Я никогда не пью кофе после 6 вечера.") Это указывает на отсутствие действия.
  • Usually – обычно. Это слово описывает частоту около 80-90%. Например: "I usually have tea in the morning." ("Я обычно пью чай утром.")
  • Sometimes – иногда. Пример: "I sometimes go for a walk after dinner." ("Иногда я гуляю после ужина.") Это слово используется для описания действий, которые происходят время от времени.

Используя подобные конструкции, вы сможете более точно передавать свои привычки и предпочтения в разговоре.

Распространенные ловушки произношения

При изучении английского языка важно обращать внимание на произношение. В видео могут появляться слова или акценты, которые могут быть трудными для восприятия. Например:

  • Repeat – произносится как "рипит", может звучать похоже на "репит" для русскоязычных.
  • Routine – "рутИн", где ударение ставится на второй слог, что может вызывать сложности.
  • Fresh – "фреш", уверенно произносите звук "ш", чтобы избежать путаницы.

Помимо этого, улучшить произношение английского можно с помощью shadow speech, где вы повторяете за носителями языка, что дает возможность тренироваться в правильной интонации и акцентуации.

Используйте это видео и практикуйте новообретенные знания, чтобы ваш английский стал более уверенным и естественным!

Грамматика в этом видео

Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:

КонструкцияВ видео
Present Perfect Continuous have/has been + -ing — действие началось раньше и продолжаетсяI've been thinking · we've been using
Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчасyou've decided · We've mentioned · we've talked
Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делаетare called · can be changed
Глагол + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — глаголы, после которых идёт форма на -ingpractice using · hate waking · stop sleeping

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.
