What to do in your free time is a simple and very familiar topic.
2
However, in this video we will learn a few other aspects about the topic of free time
3
and how to express it in English.
4
What do you do in your free time?
5
Laura over here hi Bella how are you never better
6
and you I'm good have you been waiting for me for
7
long no I just came did you come here straight from work yes a long day you know you look so tired.
8
Well, of course.
9
Who is not tired of after 9 to 5?
10
True, but I haven't worked 9 to 5 for so long.
11
I forgot that feeling.
12
You won't want to get back?
13
Yep, but how does your day go?
14
Well, I start a normal morning by working up at 7 a.m., washing my face, brushing my teeth,
15
having breakfast at home and going to work at 8 a.m.
16
Yeah, a typical morning, right?
17
Yes, simple one.
18
You prefer to have breakfast at home, don't you?
19
Yes, but sometimes when I'm in a hurry, I will buy breakfast on the way to work.
20
Yeah, and then?
21
Work finishes at 5 p.m.
22
I leave work and go to the supermarket to buy food for dinner.
23
Wow, then cook, wash dishes, have a shower.
24
Does it eat up all your free time in the evening?
25
No, actually my free time is from 8 to 10.30pm.
26
What do you do during those two hours and a half?
27
It depends on my mood, but normally I watch movies and listen to music. And not normal?
28
I learned something new.
29
Wow, you deserve respect.
30
Why not?
31
For example, learn how to sing, draw, lots of different interesting things to learn.
32
You're right, but to be honest, whenever someone mentions learning or studying, I feel tired.
33
Yeah, I can imagine.
34
Do you go to sleep at 10 30 pm?
35
Yes, but like 15 minutes before sleep time, I usually read a book.
36
How do you feel about that life routine?
37
Sometimes I feel a bit boring, but I'm also feeling thankful because I still have time for myself.
38
You're right.
39
Enjoy this precious time.
40
You may not have much free time when you get married and have kids.
41
Aw, man.
42
That future is still too far for me.
43
I know.
44
I just mean enjoy the moment.
45
Thanks.
46
What do you do when you have too much free time?
47
Hi, I'm Hannah.
48
Thank you for coming to our podcast today.
49
Hi, Hannah.
50
It's so nice to be here today.
51
Before we start our podcast, I want to introduce our guest today, Skylar Howell.
52
Skylar, can you introduce a bit about yourself?
53
Hi, I'm Skylar.
54
I'm working as a freelancer and have achieved some great success with my work, making nearly $400,000 last year.
55
That's very impressive, though.
56
However, today we won't go deep about your success story, but we want to talk about your time management.
57
Okay, interesting.
58
I've heard many successful freelancers say that they have the same problem, which is that they overwork and mess up their timetable and health.
59
Oh yeah, I guess as a freelance, sooner or later, you will have to face that issue.
60
So how about you?
61
I used to have that period when everything was overwhelming, and it affected my health a lot.
62
How about now?
63
Now, I never work more than 30 hours a week, and I have a lot of free time for myself.
64
And still generating income?
65
Yes, definitely.
66
By building a system and having people work for you.
67
As you mentioned, you have a lot of free time.
68
Do you feel boring? Of course not.
69
If you know how to fill up your free time in the right way.
70
How do you do that?
71
First, pick up a hobby or skill that you want to invest a lot of your time into.
72
Hobby or skill?
73
Yes.
74
For example, even when my work contains a lot of writing, I still write a lot in my free time.
75
Why?
76
Because I love writing, and it doesn't feel like I'm working.
77
And you see, what I write down can eventually benefit me one day.
78
Yeah.
79
Do you have any other hobbies?
80
Yes, I enjoy gardening.
81
Oh, well that's a great hobby.
82
Yes, now I have a small garden full of flowers and trees.
83
It's beautiful.
84
Okay, any other way to fill up your free time?
85
Cooking?
86
I have a lot of time to cook, so why would I not make myself delicious meals, right?
87
I have to admit that spending hours in the kitchen making something nice is very satisfying.
88
Yeah.
89
Also, I'm a fan of video games.
90
You know, do anything as long as it makes you happy.
91
Yeah!
92
How about YouTube and Netflix?
93
I mean, yeah, if you love watching things on those platforms, that's fine.
94
Don't you like it?
95
No, I'm not a fan because it's really wasting time if you have no control of yourself.
96
Yeah, true.
97
Is there anything else you want to share with us today?
98
Yes, the final one is having too much free time isn't really a bad thing.
99
Enjoy it while it lasts and make use of it in a way that makes you feel happy.
100
Thanks a lot for joining us today.
101
We really appreciate it.
102
How much leisure time do you give yourself per day?
103
What are you thinking about, Jill?
104
Uh, nothing.
105
I'm just trying to replan my life.
106
So, how's it going?
107
Uh, not that great.
108
Basically, I'm trying to fix my daily routine.
109
What's wrong with it now?
110
I'm not very productive.
111
Okay, you're trying to make a daily schedule, or what?
112
No, I'm thinking about how much leisure time I should give myself per day.
113
Have you figured it out?
114
Not yet.
115
Something is not right, so I'm kind of confused.
116
To me saying, oh, I have two free time hours, what should I do today to fit that two hour is so weird.
117
Yeah, true. So, any suggestions?
118
I think you overthink a bit.
119
For me, leisure time can be any time I feel relaxed, like having coffee before work in the morning.
120
Yes, but I want to be a bit stricter to myself, you know?
121
In that case, you should schedule a day depending on what the priorities of that day are.
122
Priorities?
123
Yes, then finish them.
124
The time left is your free time.
125
Easy.
126
Sounds nice, though.
127
Right?
128
It's a flexible plan as well, because some days when I need my work done, I can have no free time.
129
And some days you can just lay down chilling for like five hours, right?
130
Exactly, because the goal is being productive, right?
131
As long as you finish what you need to do, you can relax for the rest of the day.
132
Wow, thanks a lot, Mary.
133
Super nice idea you have, and really reasonable.
134
Not at all.
135
I'm just saying from my personal experience.

背景与语境
在学习英语时，谈论自己的闲暇时间和兴趣爱好是一个简单而熟悉的话题。本视频通过对话形式分享了关于空闲时间的不同方面，帮助学习者掌握如何用英语表达这些内容。这种对话不仅揭示了日常生活的点滴，也为英语口语练习提供了丰富的素材。
日常交流的五个常用短语
- 你空闲时间做什么？ (What do you do in your free time?)
- 我从早上7点开始正常的一天。 (I start a normal morning by waking up at 7 a.m.)
- 我的自由时间是从晚上8点到10点半。 (My free time is from 8 to 10:30 p.m.)
- 我能学习很多有趣的东西。 (I can learn lots of different interesting things.)
- 感谢我还有时间属于自己。 (I’m thankful because I still have time for myself.)
逐步跟读指南
要有效利用这个视频进行英语口语练习，可以按照以下步骤进行：
- 观看并理解对话：仔细观察发言者的语调、速度和发音，这些都是提高英语发音的关键要素。
- 逐句模仿：使用 shadowspeak 技术，将每句话分段，逐句模仿发音和语调，帮助你在英语口语练习中变得更加流利。
- 录音并回听：录下自己的声音，然后与视频中的内容进行比较，寻找发音上的不足之处。
- 与他人对话：尝试与朋友或同学进行角色扮演，使用视频中的短语和对话结构进行交流，增强实际口语能力。
- 定期练习：将 shadowspeaks 融入日常学习，保持规律的练习，以提高流利度和自信心。
这种方法不仅能帮助你提高英语发音，还能提升口语能力，使你在与他人交流时更加自如。在日常生活中找到谈论你空闲时间的机会，将会使你的练习更加丰富多彩。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
