So, Audra, what'd you do this weekend?

Well, on Saturday, I had a family barbecue, and everyone came over.

We had burgers and steak and lots and lots of cake.

Wow. Hello.

My name is Emma, and today I am going to teach you some very important expressions and vocabulary about the weekend.

I love the weekend.

When I'm talking about the weekend, I'm talking about Saturday and Sunday.

So, a lot of the times on Fridays and Mondays, people talk about the weekend.

So, it's very important to know vocabulary and expressions about the weekend because it's such a common part of conversation.

So, let's look at some examples of weekend vocabulary.

So, on Friday - and notice I have "on".

A lot of students make mistakes with this, but the preposition we use with days of the week is the word "on".

So, on Friday, people often ask this question.

Do you have any plans for the weekend?

Or they might not ask, "Do you have", they might just say, "Any plans for the weekend?" It's a very common question people ask on Fridays.

And what they want is for you to talk about your plans for the weekend.

What are you going to do on Saturday?

What are you going to do on Sunday?

Now, another thing you might see on Friday is sometimes people say "TGIF", or they might write it somewhere.

My sister Audra, who's going to help us in a little bit, and I often text each other this - TGIF.

Every Friday we write each other this.

What does it mean?

It means "thank goodness" or "thank God it's Friday".

We say this because we are so happy it's Friday.

No more work, it's the weekend, we can relax.

So TGIF. Another expression we might talk about on a Friday is the word "long weekend".

A long weekend is a weekend that is three days.

So it might be Friday, Saturday, and Sunday where you have it off work, or it might be Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

So if you have a three-day weekend, we call that a long weekend.

Long weekends are my favourite.

I love long weekends.

So, we talk about this on Friday, we do our thing on the weekend, and then on Monday most people go back to school or work.

And this is often one of the first questions you will hear on Monday.

You'll hear "So, what'd you do this weekend?" And notice I have "what" with an apostrophe and a "d".

The "d" here stands for "did".

So, this can also be "What did you do this weekend?" But in conversation we often use contractions or we shorten words, so "What did you do this weekend?" actually becomes "What'd you do this weekend?" And this is really hard for English language learners because, you know, they hear this and they don't realize the "what" means "what did".

Okay? So be careful about this.

"So, what'd you do this weekend?" You might hear somebody ask "How was your weekend?" You might hear this question "Did you get up to anything this weekend?" The word or the expression "get up to" is a very common expression and it just means "do".

Okay? So, we use it when we're talking about activities we did in the past.

So, "Did you get up to anything this weekend?" means "Did you do anything this weekend?" So, they have the same meaning.

"Did you get up to anything this weekend?" "Did you do anything this weekend?" If you hear somebody ask this question, one thing you can say is you can use "get up to" in your response.

You can say "I didn't get up to much".

This means I didn't do anything, really.

I didn't do a lot.

Nothing special.

So, "I didn't get up to much this weekend." It's funny with this expression because we only use it in the negative.

We do not say "I got up to a lot".

We would say "I did a lot", but in terms of when we use "get up to", we only use it in the negative form.

"I didn't get up to much this weekend." So, now we are going to look at some common activities we do on the weekend, and we are going to do a listening activity with my sister, Audra.

Okay, so there are many things you can do on the weekend.

I'm going to give some examples of some things I like to do during the weekend.

Before I begin, I just wanted to say one thing.

There is a difference between British English and American English when we're talking about the weekend.

In British English, we can say "at the weekend".

In North American English, we say "on the weekend".

So, both "at" or "on" are correct, depending on where you live and where you're speaking English.

So, let's get started on common plans we talk about...

Or, common plans for the weekend.

Now, the first thing I wanted to talk about is brunch.

Brunch is very popular in North America and other countries as well.

Brunch is a meal.

People often have brunch at restaurants.

And if you notice, I've put equals - breakfast plus lunch.

So, brunch is between breakfast and lunch.

It's usually around 10am or 11am, and people, especially on Sundays, people often go for brunch.

Okay? So, you can say "On Sunday, I had brunch with my family." On Sunday, I had brunch with some friends.

So, you'll hear people talk a lot about brunch in North America.

Another thing people often do, and I do this a lot during the weekend, is we binge on TV shows.

So, some people have Netflix, some people have Hulu, some people have maybe DVDs or some show they're watching.

When we binge on something, it means we do too much of something.

So, if you binge on a TV show, it means you watch a lot of episodes of a TV show back to back.

So, for example, when I was watching Game of Thrones, I binged on Game of Thrones.

Sometimes I watched four episodes in a row, and my whole Saturday was spent binging on Game of Thrones.

So, this is a common expression you might hear people talk about when they're talking about the weekend.

Another thing people often do on the weekend is they run errands.

So, the past tense of "run" is "ran".

So, on Saturday, I ran some errands.

What does this mean?

Well, "errands" is a big term that covers many different activities.

"Errands" include doing groceries, you know, maybe getting a new cell phone charger.

It's those little, small tasks you have to do, so those are errands.

Maybe you have to pay a bill and you have to go somewhere.

Instead of saying what each task is, you can just say "errands".

Okay? So, "errands" is another word for "task".

What do you have to do on the weekend?

"I ran some errands." A lot of people meet up with their friends or family, so this means that they see their friends or family.

So, I can say, "On Saturday, I met up with some friends." "I went to a BBQ", or a "barbecue".

"BBQ" is the short form of the word "barbecue".

We often talk about things we get caught up on.

So, this might be a new expression.

Sometimes in life, we feel like we're behind.

Our week is very busy, and so we need to have some time to catch up, or to get things done that we didn't have time to get done during the week.

So, let's look at some examples of things we get caught up on.

We can get caught up on schoolwork.

So this means during the week, I didn't have time to do some schoolwork, now I have time, so I get caught up on schoolwork.

I get caught up on housework, so maybe during the week, I couldn't do my laundry.

Now I can, I have time, so I get caught up on housework.

Maybe you have a job where you have to do projects during the weekend.

100

You can say, "I got caught up on work." For some people, during the week, they only get five hours of sleep, so maybe they like to sleep late or take naps on the weekend, so they can say, "I got caught up on sleep." Many people like to sleep in on the weekend.

101

This means they do not wake up early, they sleep late.

102

So, on Saturday, I like to sleep in, and "slept" is the past tense of "sleep".

103

Finally, some people just say they relaxed on the weekend.

104

Okay, so now we are going to practice what we learned.

105

I'd like to invite my sister Audra over here to help us with our conversation.

106

So come on out, Audra.

107

Thank you for being here today.

108

No problem.

109

So, Audra, what'd you do this weekend?

110

Well, on Saturday, I had a family barbecue, and everyone came over.

111

We had burgers and steak and lots and lots of cake.

112

Wow. Did you do anything else on Saturday?

113

I did. I actually went out for coffee with my best friend Christine, and we did a bit of shopping, and it was really, really lovely.

114

Great. And what about on Sunday?

115

What'd you get up to on Sunday?

116

So, on Sunday, I did something a bit exciting.

117

I went to a sewing class, and I made a fabric basket.

118

A fabric basket.

119

Okay. So, Audra is going to show us her creation.

120

Let's see what Audra made.

121

Ta-da. Not only is she beautiful, but she is very talented.

122

Thank you. Did you do anything else on Sunday?

123

I think that was about it for Sunday.

124

125

I will be doing laundry.

126

Okay. And what about...

127

What time did you wake up during the weekend?

128

Did you sleep in?

129

I did not sleep in.

130

I woke up around 7.30 in the morning, which is quite early.

131

I wish I could have slept in until 11am.

132

That would have been much better.

133

Do you usually sleep in on weekends?

134

I do not. I get up quite early.

135

I normally wake up at 6am during the week.

136

On weekends, I could say I sleep in until 7.30am.

137

Ideally, I would like to sleep in until 11am.

138

Wow. So, my last question for you, Audra, is about brunch.

139

I know my sister Audra loves brunch.

140

Sometimes we go to brunch together.

141

So, when do you usually do brunch?

142

My friend Lou and I often do brunch on the weekends.

143

On Sunday morning, we go out for brunch and we try different places, and we get to try many different types of food.

144

All right. Well, thank you so much, Audra.

145

Thanks for telling us all about your weekend.

146

No problem.

147

Thank you for having me.

148

So, thank you for watching.

149

I want to invite you to check out our website at www.EngVid.com.

150

151

Daily ConversationWorking Adults

FOR YOU

關於本課

在這一節課中，我們將練習與週末相關的英語會話。這是一個非常常見的主題，尤其是在週五和週一的社交對話中。你將學習詢問和回答有關週末計劃的表達方式，以及使用常見的短語來描述你在週末的活動。掌握這些內容，你將在與他人交流時更加自信。

關鍵詞彙與短語

Do you have any plans for the weekend?（你週末有什麼計劃嗎？）

long weekend（長週末，通常指三天的假期）
What'd you do this weekend?（你這個週末做了什麼？）
get up to（做某事，經常用於過去的活動）
I didn't get up to much.（我沒做什麼特別的事。）

練習提示

在練習這些短語時，建議可以通過看YouTube學英語來增強你的聽力和口語能力。你可以選擇觀看與本課主題相關的影片，進行shadow speech練習。在觀看時，試著模仿說話者的語調和速度，反覆進行直到你能流利地複述。尤其要注意如何使用縮寫形式，例如將“what did”縮短為“what'd”。這些常見的口語表達能夠讓你在實際對話中更加自然。

此外，考慮使用英語影子跟讀，根據影片的速度和語調，在每句和每段之間暫停，跟隨說話者的語速進行跟讀。耐心地練習，會提高你對日常對話的理解，也能使你在與他人交流時更加自信和流利。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事	might not ask · might see · might talk
“going to” 表將來 be going to + 動詞 — 計劃或明顯即將發生的事	am going to teach · are you going to do · who's going to help
現在進行時 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在發生的事	I'm talking · we're talking · you're speaking
義務：must / have to / need to 表示某事是必要的	have to do · have to pay · need to have

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
