the Sun is shining I love days like this it makes me feel happy

and relaxed me too did you come to the studio from

home yes I walked here the walk was very nice I saw many people in the park

that sounds lovely I walked here too.

When I walk, I often listen to music.

Really?

What kind of music do you listen to?

I usually listen to pop music.

It's fun and easy to sing with.

I like pop music too, but in the morning I sometimes listen to the news.

The news?

That sounds very serious for the morning.

I know, but I like to know what is happening in the world.

That is a good habit.

Maybe I should try listening to the news in the morning.

Maybe you should.

So, Jack, what are your plans after we finish recording today?

After this, I think I will go to a cafe.

I want to drink a nice cup of coffee and eat a piece of cake.

That sounds perfect.

Can I come with you? Of course.

You are always welcome to join me.

Great!

Now I'm excited for after the show.

But first, we have an important topic today.

Yes, we do.

Today we are talking about habits.

Habits like my habit of inviting myself to eat cake with Emma.

Yes, like that.

But also more common habits.

So Jack, let's begin.

What is a habit for you?

A habit is something you do again and again.

You do it often and you don't think too much.

It just happens.

Like an automatic action?

Yes.

Almost like a robot.

For example, I always brush my teeth after breakfast.

I don't think about it.

I just do it.

I understand.

It's part of your daily routine.

One of my habits is drinking a glass of water right when I wake up.

That's a very healthy habit, Emma.

I should try that.

You should.

It's good for your body.

Okay, let's talk about morning habits first.

What is the first thing you do in the morning?

The very first thing?

I open my eyes.

Very funny, Jack.

I mean after that.

Okay, okay.

After I open my eyes, I always check my phone.

Oh, I do that too.

I check the time, and I check if I have any messages.

Same.

But my doctor says it's a bad habit.

The light from the phone is not good for your eyes in the morning.

Your doctor is probably right.

So, what is one good morning habit you have?

A good habit?

Well, I always make my bed.

Every single morning.

Really?

I sometimes make my bed, but not always.

Sometimes I'm in a hurry.

For me, it's important.

When my bed is tidy, my room looks tidy.

It makes me feel good.

That's a great habit.

What about breakfast?

Do you have breakfast habits?

Yes.

My breakfast habit is very simple.

I usually eat toast with butter, and I always drink tea.

I don't drink coffee in the morning.

Every day the same thing.

Almost every day.

It feels comfortable and easy.

What about you?

My breakfast is different every day.

Sometimes I eat yogurt with fruit.

Sometimes I eat cereal.

Sometimes I eat eggs.

But I always, always, always drink coffee.

I can't start my day without coffee.

Ah, so coffee is your morning habit.

Yes, it is.

100

How many cups of coffee do you drink every day, Emma?

101

Oh, that's a dangerous question.

102

I usually drink two or three cups.

103

Usually. Or always.

104

Okay, always.

105

It's a bad habit.

106

I know.

107

Well, it's your habit, not mine.

108

Okay, let's talk about something else.

109

How do you go to work?

110

What is your travel habit?

111

I usually walk to work.

112

My office is not far from my home, so walking is easy.

113

That's a wonderful habit.

114

Walking is healthy, free, and good for the environment.

115

Yes, I enjoy it.

116

What about you?

117

How do you get to work?

118

I usually take the bus, but on Fridays, I often drive my car.

119

Why only on Fridays?

120

Because after work on Friday, I always go to the supermarket for big shopping.

121

It's easier with the car because I buy many things.

122

Ah, that makes sense.

123

So that's one of your weekly habits.

124

Exactly.

125

Now let's talk about work habits.

126

What do you always do at your job?

127

At work, I always make a list of things to do.

128

I write down all my tasks for the day.

129

That is very organized.

130

I sometimes make a list, but I often lose it.

131

Jack, that is not a good habit.

132

I know, I know.

133

Another bad work habit I have is I am often late for meetings.

134

Jack, why are you always late?

135

Because I always think I have more time.

136

Then suddenly the meeting starts and I have to run to the room.

137

You need a new habit.

138

Try to arrive five minutes early.

139

Five minutes early?

140

That sounds impossible for me.

141

Just try.

142

Okay, let's talk about evening habits.

143

What do you do after work?

144

After work, I usually feel tired, so I always sit on my sofa for 10 minutes and do nothing at all.

145

That sounds very relaxing.

146

I should try that too.

147

After my 10 minutes of doing nothing, I often go to the gym.

148

You go to the gym after work?

149

That is impressive.

150

I never go to the gym.

151

Never.

152

What do you do for exercise?

153

My exercise is walking to the kitchen, walking to the bus stop, and walking back home.

154

Emma, that is not real exercise.

155

I know, I know.

156

It's a habit I need to change.

157

So, what do you do with the gym?

158

I usually run on the treadmill.

159

Sometimes I lift small weights.

160

After the gym, I go home and cook dinner.

161

You cook dinner every day?

162

Not every day.

163

Maybe three times a week?

164

Is that a bad habit?

165

Well, ordering food too much is expensive and not always healthy.

166

Cooking at home is better.

167

You're right, but cooking for one person is sometimes boring.

168

I understand.

169

I sometimes cook a big meal and then eat the same food for two days.

170

It's a smart habit.

171

That is a smart habit.

172

Okay, after dinner, what are your habits?

173

After dinner, I always wash the dishes.

174

I don't like leaving dirty dishes in the kitchen.

175

I have a different habit.

176

I often leave my dishes in the sink.

177

I wash them the next morning.

178

Jack, that is a terrible habit.

179

I know, I know, but it's my habit.

180

Okay.

181

After dishes, what do you do?

182

I usually relax.

183

I often watch a TV series or a movie.

184

What kind of movies do you like?

185

I usually watch comedies because I like to laugh.

186

What do you watch?

187

I often watch sports, football, basketball, but sometimes I watch documentaries about animals.

188

That sounds interesting.

189

Do you have any habits before you sleep?

190

Yes.

191

I have a small routine.

192

I always brush my teeth, of course.

193

Then I read a book for about 15 minutes.

194

That's a very good habit.

195

Reading helps you sleep peacefully.

196

I also read before bed.

197

What do you read before bed, Emma?

198

I usually read novels or funny stories, but sometimes I check my phone in bed.

199

It's a bad habit.

200

Yes, the phone light is bad for sleep.

201

I also have this bad habit.

202

We really need to change.

203

Let's promise no phones in bed.

204

Okay, I promise for one night.

205

Only one night?

206

Oh no!

207

Okay, let's talk about weekend habits.

208

Are your weekends different from your weekdays?

209

Oh yes, my weekend habits are very different.

210

On Saturday morning, I always sleep late.

211

What time do you wake up?

212

Sometimes at 10 a .m., sometimes even at 11 a .m.

213

It feels wonderful.

214

I wake up at 8 a .m., even on weekends.

215

It's my habit.

216

8 a .m on Saturday?

217

That's too early for me.

218

It's normal for me.

219

Then I have a slow and quiet morning.

220

I drink coffee and read the news on my sofa.

221

That sounds peaceful.

222

On Saturday, I usually meet my friends for lunch.

223

That sounds fun.

224

Where do you go?

225

We often go to a small restaurant near the park.

226

The food is really good.

227

Do you do any sports on the weekend?

228

Sometimes I play football with my friends, but not every weekend.

229

That's good exercise.

230

See, you do play sports.

231

Yes, but only sometimes.

232

What do you do on Sunday?

233

Sunday is my cleaning day.

234

I always clean my apartment.

235

Every Sunday?

236

You're very organized.

237

I like a clean home.

238

I vacuum the floors, clean the bathroom, and wash my clothes.

239

I clean my apartment only when it's dirty.

240

Maybe once every two weeks.

241

Well, that's a habit too.

242

Okay, let's talk about bad habits.

243

Everyone has them.

244

This is my favorite topic.

245

I have many bad habits. For example?

246

Well, um, I often bite my nails.

247

When do you do that?

248

When I watch a scary movie or when I'm thinking about a problem.

249

I understand.

250

I sometimes do that, too.

251

But you have so many good habits.

252

Nobody is perfect, Jack.

253

I have another bad habit.

254

I often lose my sunglasses.

255

How many sunglasses did you lose?

256

Maybe five or six pairs this year.

257

Five or six?

258

That is a lot.

259

That is an expensive bad habit.

260

I know, I know.

261

What about you?

262

What is your most expensive bad habit?

263

My most expensive bad habit is buying coffee every day.

264

I have a coffee machine at home, but I like coffee from the coffee shop.

265

Oh, yes.

266

That is expensive.

267

You should make coffee at home.

268

You're right.

269

But the coffee at the coffee shop is so delicious.

270

Habits are difficult to change.

271

So, how can we build new good habits?

272

I read that we should start very small.

273

For example, if you want to run every day, start by walking for five minutes.

274

That's good advice.

275

And we need to be consistent.

276

We need to do it every day.

277

Every day?

278

That sounds difficult.

279

Not really.

280

For example, if you want to drink more water, just put a glass of water on your table every morning.

281

Oh, I can do that.

282

That's small and simple.

283

Exactly.

284

And if you want to read more, read just one page every night.

285

One page.

286

I can do that.

287

Maybe I'll read two pages.

288

See?

289

Now you're motivated.

290

What new good habit do you want to start?

291

I want to start the habit of eating fruit every day.

292

I usually eat cookies, but fruit is better.

293

That is an excellent idea.

294

You can buy a banana with your coffee.

295

Yes, one banana a day.

296

That's easy.

297

What new habit do you want to start, Emma?

298

I want to start calling my family more often.

299

I usually send text messages, but calling is better.

300

That is a beautiful habit.

301

Your family will be very happy.

302

I think so, too.

303

What about old habits?

304

Do you have habits from when you were a child?

305

Oh, yes.

306

I always put my left shoe on first.

307

I don't know why.

308

I did it as a child and I still do it now.

309

That is a very old habit.

310

I have a similar one.

311

I always read the last page of a book first.

312

Really?

313

Why?

314

I don't know.

315

I just like to know the ending before I start reading.

316

That is such a funny habit.

317

My sister also has a funny habit.

318

She always sings in the car.

319

Every time she drives, she sings loudly.

320

I do that too.

321

It's a fun habit.

322

Yes, some habits are fun, some are healthy, and some are expensive.

323

And the good news is we can change our habits if we want to.

324

Right.

325

We just need to start small and be patient.

326

I feel motivated right now.

327

Tomorrow, I will eat a banana, and I will drink a big glass of water.

328

And I will try not to look at my phone in bed.

329

It's a deal.

330

Let's check our new habits next week.

331

Perfect.

332

Okay, viewers, you can see that everyone has habits, and talking about them is very easy.

333

That was a great conversation about habits, Jack.

334

We used many useful words today.

335

We did.

336

So I think it's a good idea to review some of these words again to help our friends remember them.

337

Excellent idea.

338

Let's do a little vocabulary review.

339

What word should we start with?

340

Well...

341

We said the word habit many, many times, but what does it really mean?

342

Good question.

343

A habit is something you do regularly and automatically.

344

You don't think about it too much.

345

For example, Jack, what is a habit for you?

346

My habit is drinking tea every morning.

347

I don't make a decision every day like, should I drink tea?

348

I just do it.

349

It's automatic.

350

It's a habit.

351

Perfect example.

352

A habit is a routine action.

353

Brushing your teeth is a habit.

354

Tying your shoes is a habit.

355

Can a habit be good and bad?

356

Oh, yes.

357

A good habit is healthy or helpful, like exercising, reading books, or drinking water.

358

A bad habit is not healthy, like biting your nails or losing your keys.

359

Don't talk about losing keys.

360

So, yes, a habit can be positive or negative.

361

Exactly.

362

Now, another important word we used a lot is always.

363

Always means 100 % of the time.

364

Something happens every single time time.

365

For example, I always lock the door when I leave my home.

366

And the sun always rises in the east.

367

It never changes.

368

So what is the opposite of always?

369

The opposite is never.

370

That's right.

371

Never means 0 % of the time.

372

Something doesn't happen at all.

373

For example, I never drink coffee for breakfast.

374

I only drink tea.

375

And I never forget to drink my morning coffee.

376

It is impossible for me.

377

Always and never are very strong.

378

But we also use softer words like usually.

379

Yes.

380

Usually means most of the time.

381

Maybe 80 % or 90%.

382

Not always, but very often.

383

So if I say I usually take the bus to work, what does it mean?

384

It means you take the bus on most days, but sometimes you might walk or drive.

385

Exactly.

386

And what about often?

387

Often means many times.

388

It happens a lot, but not maybe as much as usually.

389

Yes.

390

And I often meet my friends on weekends.

391

It happens a lot, but not every single weekend.

392

And then we have sometimes.

393

Sometimes means it happens on some days, but not on many days, maybe 50 % of the time.

394

For example, I sometimes eat chocolate for dessert.

395

Not always, but sometimes, when I want something sweet.

396

And finally, let's talk about the word routine.

397

A routine is a sequence, a list of your habits.

398

It's the usual way you do things.

399

For example, your morning routine might be wake up, drink water, brush your teeth, eat breakfast, and go to work.

400

Yes, a routine is made of habits. Of course.

401

My morning routine is very simple.

402

First, I wake up, then I always brush my teeth, after that I usually make my bed,

403

then I often drink a cup of tea, and finally I sometimes read the news before I start my day.

404

Wonderful!

405

So as you can see, a routine is the order of your habits.

406

It's the way you do things step by step.

407

My evening routine is like this.

408

I always cook dinner, I usually watch TV after I eat, and I often read a book before I go to sleep.

409

So the difference is clear.

410

A habit is one action, but a routine is many habits together in a sequence.

411

Perfect explanation.

412

Now let's practice with one more word.

413

We talked about healthy and unhealthy habits.

414

Yes.

415

Healthy means something that is good for your body and your mind.

416

For example, exercise is healthy, eating vegetables is healthy, drinking water is healthy.

417

And unhealthy means something that is not good for your body or your mind.

418

Smoking is unhealthy.

419

Eating too much sugar is unhealthy.

420

Sitting all day and not moving is unhealthy.

421

So, viewers, can you make a sentence with these words?

422

For example, my healthy habit is I always go for a walk.

423

My unhealthy habit is I sometimes eat fast food.

424

Great sentence!

425

Let's all try to make sentences like that.

426

It's a very good way to practice English.

427

So, to review, we talked about the words habit,

428

always, never, usually, often, sometimes, routine, and healthy and unhealthy.

429

These are all fantastic words for talking about your daily life.

430

Try to use them when you write your answer in the comments.

431

Yes.

432

Knowing these words is a very good habit for English learners.

433

It is a very, very good habit.

434

Jack, we have talked for a long, long time about habits today.

435

We really have.

436

I think my mouth is a little tired from talking.

437

Is talking too much a bad habit?

438

No. For an English teacher, talking is a very good habit.

439

But let's think about everything we discussed today.

440

It's time for a quick summary.

441

Perfect.

442

First, we learned that a habit is something you do regularly, almost without thinking.

443

And habits can be good or bad.

444

Yes.

445

We talked about warming habits, like brushing your teeth, making your bed, and drinking coffee or tea.

446

And we talked about work habits, habits, like making a to -do list, or being late for meetings.

447

Sorry, Jack, but that was a good example.

448

We also talked about evening habits, like cooking dinner, watching TV, and reading before bed.

449

And of course, we talked about weekly habits, like going to the supermarket on the same day every week, or cleaning your home on Sunday.

450

Exactly.

451

And we practiced how to describe all these habits using important words.

452

That's right.

453

We used always for 100%, never for 0%, usually for most of the time,

454

often for many times, and sometimes for not all the time.

455

We also talked about the word routine, which is like the story of your habits from morning to night.

456

And we talked about the difference between healthy habits, like exercising, and unhealthy or expensive habits,

457

like drinking too much coffee or ordering food every day.

458

Speaking of that, Jack, what about your coffee habit?

459

Yes, I am thinking about it now.

460

Now, I will try to make coffee at home this week instead of going to the coffee shop every day.

461

That's a great goal.

462

And I will try not to look at my phone in bed.

463

So we both have one small habit to change.

464

And that is a very important lesson for everyone.

465

You can change your habits.

466

You don't need to change everything at once.

467

Start with one small thing.

468

Yes, don't try to change your whole life on Monday.

469

That is too difficult.

470

Just start with one tiny step.

471

For example, you can eat one piece of fruit every day.

472

Or drink one glass of water in the morning.

473

Or read only one page of a book at night.

474

Small steps are the best way to build a new good habit.

475

And now, it is your turn to speak, everyone.

476

Yes, it is time for our question of the day, the most important part for your English practice.

477

Today's question is, what is one good habit you have and one bad habit you want to change?

478

Please write your answer in the comments.

479

It is very good practice for your English writing.

480

For example, you can write, My good habit is I always study English for 10 minutes every day.

481

My bad habit is I sometimes watch too much TV.

482

Or you can write, My good habit is I usually eat vegetables for lunch.

483

My bad habit is I never go to bed early.

484

Any answer is a good answer.

485

We are here to learn together.

486

You do not need to be perfect.

487

We will read every single comment.

488

We love to see your progress and your ideas.

489

It makes us very, very happy to be part of your English learning journey.

499

Learning something new takes time.

500

Yes, learning English is a marathon, not a sprint.

501

It's all about building a habit of practice.

502

Beautifully said, Emma.

503

We will see you next time for another daily English lesson.

504

Bye -bye, everyone.
