Welcome to Real Easy English, the podcast where we have real conversations in easy English to help you learn.
2
I'm Beth.
3
And I'm Neil.
4
If you want to read along with this podcast, you can find a full transcript on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
5
How are you today, Neil?
6
I'm very well, thank you, Beth.
7
How about you?
8
I'm very good.
9
So, what topic are we talking about in this episode?
10
OK, well, today's episode is all about habits and routines.
11
Now, we talked about our favourite foods a few weeks ago, but today we'll talk about our meal times and routines for eating.
12
Sounds good.
13
What do we mean by a routine, Beth?
14
Is it different to a habit?
15
Well, they are similar but a habit is something we do regularly.
16
So, for example, I eat an apple and a banana most days.
17
Oh, very healthy.
18
Yeah.
19
A routine, though, is slightly different.
20
It's usually more about the time that we do something and the way we do something.
21
So, I have my breakfast at 6am every day.
22
OK.
23
You said you have your breakfast at 6am every day.
24
What do you usually have to eat?
25
Well, usually I have something simple – a bowl of cereal, some toast with marmalade.
26
How about you, Beth?
27
I usually have porridge.
28
And what about lunch?
29
What time do you have lunch usually?
30
I normally have lunch at about one o'clock.
31
What about you?
32
Yeah, the same.
33
I don't like it at twelve, that's too early.
34
But by two I'm getting a little bit hungry and angry at the same time.
35
There's a word for that, Neil.
36
So if you're hungry and angry we can combine them and say hangry.
37
Yeah, so it's important to have regular mealtimes so you don't get hangry.
38
That's true.
39
Now, you've just reminded me of another word which is brunch.
40
Now that's a combination of the words breakfast and lunch.
41
Do you ever have brunch, Neil?
42
I love brunch, especially at weekends.
43
Yeah.
44
When I was at university I used to have brunch pretty much every day.
45
So I would meet up with my friends and we would go to a cafe and we would have brunch.
46
Beth, you said that you used to have brunch at university.
47
Used to.
48
What's that mean?
49
Well, used to is used to talk about a habit in the past.
50
So, something you did regularly in the past and don't do now.
51
Now, another way of talking about past habits is to use would.
52
So, if you remember, I said I would message my friends and we would have brunch.
53
So used to and would are both used to talk about past habits.
54
Do you ever miss a meal?
55
No.
56
I think when I was at school many years ago, I used to miss breakfast because I wanted to stay in bed.
57
What about you?
58
I don't like to miss meals because, like I said, I get hangry.
59
But I guess I also used to miss breakfast when I was a teenager and I needed to sleep for a huge amount of time every night and get up really late.
60
Yeah, I think it's quite normal and quite interesting how your habits change as you get older.
61
For example, missing meals and that sort of thing.
62
Right, let's recap the vocabulary we learned during the conversation.
63
We learnt routine – the time and way we usually do something.
64
We heard used to, which we use to talk about a habit in the past, and would, which we can also use to talk about past habits.
65
And my favourite, brunch, which is eating breakfast and lunch at the same time.
66
We also heard a really new word in English, which is a combination of two words, hungry and angry.
67
It's hangry.
68

Об этом уроке

Вы практикуете английский с "Talking about routines: 🍽️🛌🚶 Real Easy English" с помощью техники Shadowing — метода, разработанного для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков.

Слушайте каждое предложение, обращайте внимание на ударения и связывание звуков, затем повторяйте вслух уверенно. 15–30 минут ежедневной практики дадут заметные результаты.

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.
