Hello. Welcome back to Daily English
(00:00:03)
Talk.
(00:00:04)
>> Hi everyone. We are so happy to see you
(00:00:07)
today.
(00:00:08)
>> I'm Emma
(00:00:09)
>> and I'm Jack. We are here to help you
(00:00:12)
practice your English.
(00:00:13)
>> That's right. So, if you like learning
(00:00:15)

(00:00:20)
video. It helps us a lot.
(00:00:22)
>> Today, we are going to do something very
(00:00:25)
simple but very useful. Yes, we are
(00:00:28)
going to h talk about our day. A very
(00:00:32)
normal day.
(00:00:34)
>> Talk about your day. Perfect for
(00:00:36)
beginners.
(00:00:38)
>> So, Emma, how are you today?
(00:00:40)
>> I am great, Jack. Thank you for asking.
(00:00:42)
The weather is nice today. The sun is
(00:00:45)
shining. How are you?
(00:00:47)
>> I'm good. I'm good, but a little tired.
(00:00:51)
>> Oh, why are you tired? Well, last night
(00:00:54)
I watched a very interesting movie. It
(00:00:58)
finished very late.
(00:00:59)
>> Oh, Jack, you need more sleep.
(00:01:02)
>> I know. I know. But the movie was so
(00:01:05)
good. What about you? What did you do
(00:01:08)
this weekend?
(00:01:09)
>> This weekend? Oh, it was lovely. I
(00:01:12)
visited my family. We had a big dinner
(00:01:14)
together on Sunday.
(00:01:16)
>> That sounds wonderful. I love big family
(00:01:19)
dinners.
(00:01:19)
>> Me, too. Okay. Are you ready to talk
(00:01:22)
about our daily routines, Jack?
(00:01:24)
>> I am ready. Let's start.
(00:01:27)
>> Okay. So, let's talk about a normal day.
(00:01:32)
For example, yesterday, Jack, what did
(00:01:36)
you do yesterday from morning to night?
(00:01:39)
>> H yesterday.
(00:01:42)
Let me think. Okay, first and most
(00:01:46)
importantly, I woke up.
(00:01:49)
>> I woke up. This is the first thing we do
(00:01:51)
in the morning. It's the opposite of
(00:01:54)
sleeping.
(00:01:54)
>> Yes. My alarm clock rang and I opened my
(00:01:58)
eyes. I was still very sleepy.
(00:02:01)
>> I know that feeling. What time did your
(00:02:04)
alarm clock ring?
(00:02:05)
>> It rang at 7:00. 7:00 a.m.
(00:02:08)
>> 7 a.m. That is early. My alarm rings at
(00:02:13)
7:30.
(00:02:14)
>> I like the quiet morning. After I wake
(00:02:17)
up, I don't jump out of bed. No, no, no.
(00:02:21)
I stay in bed for five minutes.
(00:02:23)
[laughter]
(00:02:25)
>> Oh, I do the same. I check my phone for
(00:02:28)
messages just for a few minutes.
(00:02:31)
>> Exactly. Then I finally get out of bed.
(00:02:35)
My feet touch the floor and I stand up.
(00:02:38)
>> Get out of bed? Yes. You don't stay in
(00:02:42)
bed all day.
(00:02:44)
>> No, I don't. I would be very hungry.
(00:02:47)
Then I walk to the bathroom.
(00:02:49)
>> Of course. What do you do in the
(00:02:51)
bathroom?
(00:02:52)
>> First, I look in the mirror. My hair is
(00:02:55)
always crazy in the morning. It's very
(00:02:58)
funny. [laughter]
(00:03:00)
>> I believe you. My hair is the same.
(00:03:03)
>> Then I brush my teeth. I use mint
(00:03:06)
toothpaste. It tastes fresh.
(00:03:08)
>> Me, too.
(00:03:10)
And then
(00:03:11)
>> I wash my face with cold water and soap.
(00:03:15)
The cold water is a little scary, but it
(00:03:18)
helps me wake up.
(00:03:19)
>> That's a good habit. I use warm water. I
(00:03:23)
don't like cold water on my face.
(00:03:25)
>> After the bathroom, I go to my bedroom
(00:03:28)
and get dressed.
(00:03:29)
>> What did you wear yesterday? Do you
(00:03:32)
remember?
(00:03:33)
>> H
(00:03:34)
Let me see.
(00:03:37)
I wore a blue t-shirt, my favorite blue
(00:03:42)
t-shirt, and black pants. Very simple
(00:03:46)
and comfortable.
(00:03:47)
>> Nice. I usually choose my clothes the
(00:03:50)
night before. It's easier in the
(00:03:52)
morning.
(00:03:52)
>> That is a smart idea. I should try that.
(00:03:55)
Okay. After I get dressed, I feel
(00:03:58)
hungry, so I go to the kitchen to make
(00:04:02)
breakfast.
(00:04:03)
>> What did you have for breakfast
(00:04:04)
yesterday? I had two pieces of toast
(00:04:08)
with butter and jam and a big cup of
(00:04:12)
black coffee. I need my coffee. And I
(00:04:16)
also ate a banana. Bananas are healthy
(00:04:19)
and easy.
(00:04:20)
>> That's a good breakfast. I had scrambled
(00:04:23)
eggs and a cup of tea with milk. I don't
(00:04:26)
like coffee.
(00:04:27)
>> More for me. So after breakfast, I have
(00:04:31)
a problem. Dirty dishes. Oh yes, the
(00:04:36)
plates and the coffee cup.
(00:04:39)
>> Yes, I put them in the sink and wash
(00:04:42)
them with hot water and soap.
(00:04:44)
>> Good for you, Jack. I sometimes just put
(00:04:47)
my dishes in the dishwasher. It is
(00:04:49)
faster.
(00:04:51)
>> You are lucky. I don't have a
(00:04:53)
dishwasher, so I wash everything by
(00:04:55)
hand. It takes about 5 minutes. Okay, so
(00:04:59)
your morning routine is wake up, stay in
(00:05:03)
bed for 5 minutes, get out of bed, go to
(00:05:07)
the bathroom, look in the mirror, brush
(00:05:10)
teeth, wash face, get dressed, make
(00:05:14)
breakfast, eat, and clean the dishes.
(00:05:17)
>> Yes, that's my morning. It sounds like a
(00:05:21)
lot, but it's normal. Now, Emma, tell me
(00:05:24)
about your morning after breakfast.
(00:05:26)
Well, after I put my dishes in the
(00:05:29)
dishwasher, I usually check my emails on
(00:05:32)
my computer.
(00:05:33)
>> Oh, me too. But I check my emails on my
(00:05:36)
phone. I also look at the news quickly.
(00:05:39)
Just the headlines.
(00:05:40)
>> Yes, the headlines. Then I get ready for
(00:05:44)
work. I work from home, remember? So, I
(00:05:47)
just walk from my kitchen to my desk and
(00:05:50)
the other room. My commute is only 10
(00:05:54)
seconds.
(00:05:55)
That's amazing. You're so lucky. I have
(00:05:58)
a long commute. After I clean my dishes,
(00:06:02)
I need to leave my apartment.
(00:06:04)
>> What time do you leave?
(00:06:05)
>> I leave at about 8:15.
(00:06:08)
I put on my jacket and my shoes. And I
(00:06:12)
always check for my keys, my wallet, and
(00:06:15)
my phone. I call them phone, keys,
(00:06:19)
wallet. I say it every morning.
(00:06:21)
>> That is a very good habit. I always
(00:06:23)
forget my keys. So, you leave your
(00:06:26)
apartment. Then what?
(00:06:28)
>> First, I walk to the bus stop. It's a
(00:06:30)
5-minute walk from my house.
(00:06:32)
>> Is it a nice walk?
(00:06:34)
>> Yes, it is. I pass by a small park.
(00:06:37)
Sometimes I see dogs playing there. It
(00:06:40)
makes me happy.
(00:06:41)
>> Aw, that's lovely. Then the bus comes.
(00:06:45)
>> Yes, the bus number 42. It usually comes
(00:06:49)
at 8:25.
(00:06:50)
How long is the bus ride?
(00:06:53)
>> The bus ride is about 25 minutes. It's
(00:06:56)
not too long. On the bus, I like to
(00:06:59)
listen to music on my headphones.
(00:07:01)
>> That's nice. What kind of music?
(00:07:03)
>> I like pop music. Happy music for the
(00:07:06)
morning. Sometimes if I am tired of
(00:07:10)
music, I listen to a podcast.
(00:07:12)
>> A podcast? What is a podcast?
(00:07:15)
>> Oh, a podcast is like a radio show on
(00:07:19)
the internet.
(00:07:20)
You can listen to people talk about many
(00:07:23)
things. I listen to a podcast about
(00:07:25)
science. It's very interesting.
(00:07:28)
>> I should try that. I just look out the
(00:07:30)
window when I am on a bus.
(00:07:32)
>> So, I arrive at work at almost 9:00. I
(00:07:36)
walk from the bus stop to my office
(00:07:38)
building. It's a big white building.
(00:07:42)
>> And you start work at 9:00 a.m. sharp.
(00:07:46)
>> Yes, I am a graphic designer. I sit at
(00:07:50)
my desk, turn on my computer, and check
(00:07:52)
my schedule for the day.
(00:07:54)
>> What is a graphic designer? Can you
(00:07:57)
explain?
(00:07:58)
>> Of course. A graphic designer makes
(00:08:01)
things look good. I make pictures for
(00:08:04)
posters, for websites, for company
(00:08:07)
reports. I use a computer and special
(00:08:09)
programs.
(00:08:11)
>> Oh, I see. So, you are very creative.
(00:08:14)
>> I try to be. And what do you do at your
(00:08:17)
desk, Emma? You are a writer, right?
(00:08:20)
>> Yes, I am a writer. So, I write articles
(00:08:23)
for a website. The articles are about
(00:08:27)
how to learn English.
(00:08:29)
>> Perfect. So, you are working right now.
(00:08:32)
>> Yes, I suppose I am. I also talk to my
(00:08:35)
boss and my colleagues on video calls.
(00:08:39)
>> Colleagues? What are colleagues?
(00:08:41)
>> Oh, colleagues are the people you work
(00:08:44)
with. It's a very useful word. Ah, I
(00:08:47)
see. Thank you. So, I have colleagues
(00:08:50)
too. In the morning, I often have a
(00:08:53)
meeting with my colleagues.
(00:08:55)
>> What do you do in the meeting?
(00:08:57)
>> We talk about our projects. My boss
(00:09:00)
asks, "Jack, how is the website design?"
(00:09:03)
And I say, "It is almost finished." We
(00:09:06)
drink coffee and talk.
(00:09:08)
>> That sounds nice. My meetings are
(00:09:10)
online, so I see my colleagues on my
(00:09:13)
computer screen.
(00:09:15)
Do you drink coffee during your
(00:09:16)
meetings?
(00:09:18)
>> No coffee for me. I drink a lot of tea
(00:09:22)
at my desk and I always have a big
(00:09:25)
bottle of water. I try to drink water
(00:09:27)
all day. Same for me. Water is very
(00:09:31)
important.
(00:09:32)
Okay, let's talk about lunch. I am
(00:09:35)
getting hungry again just talking about
(00:09:37)
it. What time do you have lunch?
(00:09:40)
>> I have lunch at about 12:30. 12:30 p.m.
(00:09:44)
>> Me, too. It's the perfect time. What did
(00:09:48)
you have for lunch yesterday?
(00:09:52)
>> I wasn't very hungry, so I made a simple
(00:09:54)
sandwich. A chicken sandwich with
(00:09:56)
lettuce. It was quick and easy. I ate it
(00:10:00)
at my desk while watching a short video
(00:10:02)
on YouTube.
(00:10:03)
>> Oh, that's not a good break. You should
(00:10:06)
leave your desk. I always leave my desk
(00:10:08)
for lunch.
(00:10:10)
>> You are right. I should do that. So, you
(00:10:12)
went out for lunch yesterday?
(00:10:14)
>> Yes, I went to a small cafe near my
(00:10:17)
office with my colleague Tom.
(00:10:19)
>> Oh, that's nice. What did you eat at the
(00:10:22)
cafe?
(00:10:23)
>> I ate a big green salad and a bowl of
(00:10:26)
tomato soup. It was delicious. And we
(00:10:29)
talked about our weekend. Tom went to
(00:10:32)
the cinema.
(00:10:33)
>> How long is your lunch break?
(00:10:35)
>> It's 1 hour. So, from 12:30 to 1:30.
(00:10:40)
Then I walk back to the office and go
(00:10:42)
back to work.
(00:10:43)
>> My lunch break is also 1 hour. Sometimes
(00:10:47)
after I eat, I take a short walk
(00:10:50)
outside. The fresh air is good for my
(00:10:53)
brain.
(00:10:54)
>> That's a very good idea. I should do
(00:10:56)
that, too. I usually just sit in the
(00:10:59)
cafe.
(00:11:00)
Okay. So, we work in the afternoon. The
(00:11:04)
afternoon is from about 100 p.m. to 5:00
(00:11:08)
p.m.
(00:11:09)
>> Yes, I answer more emails and write my
(00:11:13)
articles. In the afternoon, I drink more
(00:11:16)
tea. Sometimes I eat a small snack like
(00:11:19)
an apple or some cookies.
(00:11:22)
>> Cookies. I love cookies. We have a
(00:11:25)
kitchen at the office and sometimes
(00:11:27)
there are cookies there, but not every
(00:11:29)
day. [laughter]
(00:11:31)
>> That is good. So, you work until 5:00?
(00:11:35)
>> Yes. 5:00 p.m. is the finish time. So,
(00:11:38)
at 5:00, I close my computer, clean my
(00:11:42)
desk a little, and say goodbye. See you
(00:11:44)
tomorrow to my colleagues.
(00:11:46)
>> And then you go home.
(00:11:48)
>> Yes. I put on my jacket and I leave the
(00:11:51)
office. I walk to the same bus stop.
(00:11:54)
>> Is the bus crowded in the evening?
(00:11:57)
>> Oh, yes. Very crowded. Many people
(00:11:59)
finish work at the same time. So
(00:12:01)
sometimes I have to stand on the bus. I
(00:12:04)
can't get a seat.
(00:12:05)
>> Ah, that's not comfortable.
(00:12:07)
>> No, it's not. But it's only 25 minutes.
(00:12:11)
I listen to music again, and look out
(00:12:13)
the window.
(00:12:14)
>> And what time do you arrive home?
(00:12:16)
>> I arrive home at about 5:45.
(00:12:19)
I open the door, take off my shoes and
(00:12:22)
jacket, and I feel very tired. I just
(00:12:26)
sit on the sofa for 15 minutes. I do
(00:12:29)
nothing. [laughter]
(00:12:31)
I understand that feeling perfectly. I
(00:12:34)
finish work at 5 and because I work from
(00:12:37)
home, I am already home. But I also like
(00:12:40)
to just sit on the sofa and rest for a
(00:12:43)
moment. I need to change from work mode
(00:12:46)
to home mode.
(00:12:48)
>> Home mode. I like that. Rest is
(00:12:51)
important. So after I rest, my stomach
(00:12:55)
speaks to me. It says, "Jack, I'm
(00:12:58)
hungry. Make dinner.
(00:13:00)
>> [laughter]
(00:13:01)
>> So, what did you make for dinner
(00:13:03)
yesterday?
(00:13:04)
>> Yesterday, I was not too tired, so I
(00:13:07)
cooked. I made pasta with tomato sauce
(00:13:10)
and some vegetables. I added onions and
(00:13:14)
mushrooms. It was easy and delicious.
(00:13:17)
>> Yum. I love pasta. I was lazy yesterday.
(00:13:21)
I ordered food from a Thai restaurant
(00:13:23)
online.
(00:13:25)
>> Oh, ordering food is great. Sometimes I
(00:13:28)
order pizza. It's so easy.
(00:13:30)
>> So after dinner, what do you do? This is
(00:13:33)
the evening routine. The fun part.
(00:13:36)
>> Okay. After dinner, I have the same
(00:13:39)
problem. Dirty dishes again.
(00:13:42)
>> Again. The story of your life.
(00:13:45)
>> Yes. So I wash the dishes again. Then
(00:13:50)
finally I have free time. I can relax.
(00:13:54)
>> What do you do to relax? Tell me
(00:13:57)
everything.
(00:13:58)
Well, it depends on the day. Yesterday,
(00:14:02)
first I called my parents. I talk to
(00:14:04)
them two times a week.
(00:14:06)
>> That's nice. How are they?
(00:14:08)
>> They're fine, thank you. Then after the
(00:14:12)
call, I watch TV. I am watching a funny
(00:14:15)
series on Netflix. It makes me laugh.
(00:14:18)
>> I love funny series. I am watching a
(00:14:20)
detective series. It is a little scary.
(00:14:24)
Oh, I don't like scary things before
(00:14:27)
bed. Sometimes instead of TV, I play
(00:14:30)
video games for about an hour or I read
(00:14:32)
a book. I like science fiction books.
(00:14:35)
>> I like to watch TV series or sometimes I
(00:14:38)
call my friend Sarah. We talk for a long
(00:14:41)
time. Or I just browse the internet.
(00:14:46)
>> Do you exercise, Emma, in the evening?
(00:14:49)
>> Oh, that's a good question. Yes, but not
(00:14:52)
every day. I'm not a sporty person. I
(00:14:55)
try to go for a run maybe two or three
(00:14:58)
times a week in the evening around 700
(00:15:01)
p.m.
(00:15:02)
>> Good for you. I go to the gym, but only
(00:15:06)
on Mondays and Wednesdays. So, yesterday
(00:15:10)
was Tuesday, so no gym for me. I just
(00:15:13)
relaxed at home.
(00:15:15)
>> Okay. The last part of the day, getting
(00:15:18)
ready for bed, the night routine.
(00:15:21)
Ah, yes. I usually start getting ready
(00:15:24)
for bed at about 10:30 p.m. I go to the
(00:15:28)
bathroom.
(00:15:29)
>> What do you do in the bathroom?
(00:15:31)
>> I take a warm shower. Not too hot, not
(00:15:34)
too cold. It feels very good and helps
(00:15:37)
my body relax.
(00:15:39)
>> I take a shower, too, but I like it hot.
(00:15:42)
Then after the shower, I brush my teeth
(00:15:45)
again. Very important.
(00:15:48)
>> Yes, very important. I also brush my
(00:15:50)
teeth. Then I put on my pajamas.
(00:15:54)
>> Pajamas are the clothes you wear for
(00:15:56)
sleeping. They're usually very
(00:15:58)
comfortable.
(00:16:00)
>> Exactly. My pajamas are blue and have
(00:16:03)
pictures of stars on them. [laughter]
(00:16:07)
>> That's cute. Then what do you do in bed?
(00:16:11)
>> I get into bed. I have a very
(00:16:13)
comfortable bed. Then I usually look at
(00:16:16)
my phone. I check social media or watch
(00:16:19)
funny cat videos. I know it's a bad
(00:16:22)
habit. The light from the phone is not
(00:16:24)
good for sleep.
(00:16:25)
>> Well, many people do that. I try not to.
(00:16:29)
I sometimes read a real book, a paper
(00:16:32)
book for 10 or 15 minutes. It helps my
(00:16:35)
eyes feel tired.
(00:16:36)
>> That is a better habit. I should try
(00:16:38)
that. Then when I feel sleepy, I turn
(00:16:42)
off the light and I close my eyes and
(00:16:46)
sleep.
(00:16:47)
>> And you dream about designing posters
(00:16:50)
and washing dishes,
(00:16:53)
>> probably. And then the next morning, my
(00:16:57)
alarm clock rings at 7 a.m. and I do it
(00:17:00)
all again.
(00:17:02)
>> And that everyone is how we talk about a
(00:17:05)
normal day in a lot of detail. We use
(00:17:09)
many simple sentences to describe our
(00:17:12)
lives.
(00:17:13)
>> Wow, Emma, that was a very long
(00:17:15)
conversation about our day. We used a
(00:17:18)
lot of English.
(00:17:19)
>> We did. And we used some very, very
(00:17:22)
useful words. I think it's a good idea
(00:17:25)
to practice them a little more.
(00:17:27)
>> Excellent idea. Let's do a mini
(00:17:30)
vocabulary review. We will look at some
(00:17:32)
important words from our talk.
(00:17:34)
>> Okay. Let's start with a word you used,
(00:17:37)
Jack. The first word is commute.
(00:17:41)
>> Commute. C O N M U T E. It's a noun.
(00:17:47)
>> Can you explain what commute means?
(00:17:50)
>> Of course. Your commute is the regular
(00:17:53)
journey you make between your home and
(00:17:56)
your place of work or study. So for me,
(00:18:00)
my commute is from my apartment to my
(00:18:03)
office. And how long is your commute,
(00:18:05)
Jack?
(00:18:06)
>> My commute is about 30 minutes by bus.
(00:18:09)
It's a bus ride and a short walk.
(00:18:12)
>> And what about my commute? Do I have a
(00:18:14)
commute?
(00:18:15)
>> Well, your commute is very, very short.
(00:18:18)
You work from home. Your commute is from
(00:18:21)
your bedroom to your desk. Maybe 10
(00:18:24)
seconds.
(00:18:25)
>> That's right. I have a very short
(00:18:28)
commute. So, everyone, what is your
(00:18:31)
commute? Do you take a bus, a train? Do
(00:18:35)
you walk? Think about it.
(00:18:37)
>> Okay, the next word is colleague. C O L
(00:18:42)
L E A G U E.
(00:18:44)
>> This is a great word. What is a
(00:18:47)
colleague?
(00:18:48)
>> A colleague is a person you work with,
(00:18:51)
not your boss, but a person who has a
(00:18:54)
similar job to you in the same company
(00:18:56)
or office.
(00:18:58)
>> So, Jack, who is your colleague? My
(00:19:00)
colleague is Tom. We are both graphic
(00:19:03)
designers. We work in the same office.
(00:19:06)
He is my colleague and also my friend.
(00:19:08)
>> And I have colleagues, too. My boss and
(00:19:11)
the other writers are my colleagues. We
(00:19:14)
work together online. [snorts]
(00:19:16)
>> It's a more professional word than
(00:19:18)
friend from work. Colleague is perfect
(00:19:20)
for talking about your job.
(00:19:22)
>> Let's move to another word. We talked
(00:19:25)
about this a lot. Routine. R O U T I N
(00:19:31)
E.
(00:19:32)
>> Routine. This is a noun. A routine is a
(00:19:36)
sequence of actions that you do
(00:19:38)
regularly every day or every week. It's
(00:19:41)
your usual way of doing things.
(00:19:44)
>> Can you give an example, Jack?
(00:19:45)
>> Of course. My morning routine is wake
(00:19:49)
up, brush teeth, get dressed, eat
(00:19:52)
breakfast. I do it every weekday. It's
(00:19:54)
the same. It's my routine. And I have an
(00:19:58)
evening routine. Take a shower, brush
(00:20:01)
teeth, read a book. It helps me sleep.
(00:20:05)
>> So everyone, what is your daily routine?
(00:20:08)
Do you have a morning routine or an
(00:20:10)
evening routine?
(00:20:11)
>> Okay, next word. This one is very
(00:20:15)
practical. Dishes. D I S H E S.
(00:20:21)
>> Dishes. This is a plural noun. Dishes
(00:20:24)
are all the things we use for eating and
(00:20:26)
cooking. Plates, bowls, cups, forks,
(00:20:31)
knives, and spoons.
(00:20:33)
>> And after we eat, what do we have? We
(00:20:36)
have dirty dishes.
(00:20:39)
>> Yes. And we need to wash the dishes. Or
(00:20:42)
if you are lucky like Emma, you can load
(00:20:45)
the dishwasher.
(00:20:47)
>> Emma holds up an imaginary plate.
(00:20:51)
This is a dish. A plate holds up an
(00:20:55)
imaginary cup. This is also a dish. No,
(00:20:59)
this is a cup. But together we call them
(00:21:03)
the dishes.
(00:21:04)
>> Correct. So after dinner, I wash all the
(00:21:08)
dishes. Plates, cups, forks, everything.
(00:21:12)
>> Our next word is a verb. I love relax. R
(00:21:18)
E L A X.
(00:21:21)
>> Relax. This is a wonderful verb. It
(00:21:23)
means to rest and to become calm and
(00:21:26)
comfortable. To not work, to not be
(00:21:29)
busy, just to be peaceful.
(00:21:32)
>> How do you relax, Jack?
(00:21:34)
>> I relax by watching TV, playing video
(00:21:37)
games, or reading a book. When I relax,
(00:21:40)
I sit on my comfortable sofa, and I
(00:21:43)
forget about work.
(00:21:44)
>> I relax by talking to friends or going
(00:21:47)
for a quiet walk. Everyone relaxes in
(00:21:51)
different ways. It's very important to
(00:21:54)
relax.
(00:21:55)
>> Let's add a new word we didn't explain
(00:21:57)
before. How about free time?
(00:22:00)
>> Ooh, free time is a great phrase. F R E
(00:22:04)
E T I M E.
(00:22:07)
>> Free time is the time when you are not
(00:22:09)
working and you can do what you want.
(00:22:11)
You can relax. You can have a hobby. You
(00:22:14)
can meet friends. So, in the evening
(00:22:17)
after I finish work and after I eat
(00:22:20)
dinner, I have free time.
(00:22:22)
>> Me, too. My free time is from about 7:00
(00:22:26)
p.m. to 1000 p.m. That's 3 hours of free
(00:22:29)
time.
(00:22:30)
>> What do you do in your free time,
(00:22:32)
everyone? Please tell us.
(00:22:34)
>> Another useful phrase is by hand.
(00:22:38)
>> By hand. B Y H A N D. What does this
(00:22:43)
mean? It means to do something without
(00:22:46)
using a machine. For example, I wash my
(00:22:49)
dishes by hand. I don't have a
(00:22:52)
dishwasher, so I use my hands to wash
(00:22:55)
them. [snorts]
(00:22:56)
>> And sometimes people write letters by
(00:22:59)
hand, not on a computer. They use a pen.
(00:23:03)
>> Exactly. So by hand means manually using
(00:23:06)
your hands.
(00:23:08)
>> Okay, one more word. Let's talk about
(00:23:11)
habit. H A B I T.
(00:23:15)
>> Habit. A habit is something you do
(00:23:18)
often, almost without thinking because
(00:23:20)
you have done it many times before.
(00:23:23)
>> Jack, do you have a good habit? [snorts]
(00:23:26)
>> Yes, I have a good habit. I always wash
(00:23:29)
my dishes immediately after I eat. It's
(00:23:32)
a good habit.
(00:23:34)
>> And do you have a bad habit?
(00:23:37)
>> Yes, I have a bad habit. I look at my
(00:23:40)
phone in bed before I sleep. It's a bad
(00:23:43)
habit, but it's difficult to stop.
(00:23:45)
>> I have a good habit of drinking water
(00:23:47)
all day.
(00:23:49)
>> So, a habit can be good or bad. Let's
(00:23:53)
quickly repeat them all together. We'll
(00:23:55)
say the word and you repeat after us.
(00:23:57)
Ready?
(00:23:58)
>> Number one, commute. Pause for viewers
(00:24:02)
to repeat.
(00:24:03)
>> Number two, colleague. Pause for viewers
(00:24:06)
to repeat. Number three, routine. Pause
(00:24:10)
for viewers to repeat.
(00:24:12)
>> Number four, dishes. Pause for viewers
(00:24:15)
to repeat.
(00:24:16)
>> Number five, relax. Pause for viewers to
(00:24:20)
repeat.
(00:24:21)
>> Number six, free time. Pause for viewers
(00:24:24)
to repeat.
(00:24:25)
>> Number seven, by hand. Pause for viewers
(00:24:28)
to repeat.
(00:24:29)
>> And number eight, habit. Pause for
(00:24:32)
viewers to repeat.
(00:24:33)
>> Wonderful. You did a great job. These
(00:24:37)
words are so useful for talking about
(00:24:39)
your daily life.
(00:24:40)
>> Try to use one or two of these words
(00:24:42)
today when you practice English. You can
(00:24:44)
write a sentence in the comments.
(00:24:46)
>> Well, Jack, that was a really wonderful
(00:24:49)
conversation. We talked for a long, long
(00:24:52)
time.
(00:24:52)
>> We really did. And you know what? I feel
(00:24:55)
like I know you better now, Emma. I know
(00:24:57)
about your morning tea and your evening
(00:24:59)
runs.
(00:25:01)
>> And I know about your love for coffee
(00:25:02)
and your bus rides. But more
(00:25:04)
importantly, everyone at home, we hope
(00:25:06)
you learned a lot of English to talk
(00:25:09)
about your day.
(00:25:10)
>> Absolutely. Let's do a big summary. What
(00:25:13)
did we practice today?
(00:25:14)
>> Today, we practice how to describe a
(00:25:17)
full day from morning until night. We
(00:25:20)
started with the morning routine.
(00:25:22)
>> That's right. We used phrases like, "I
(00:25:25)
wake up at 7:00.
(00:25:28)
I get out of bed. I brush my teeth and
(00:25:31)
wash my face. I get dressed. I make
(00:25:35)
breakfast and eat breakfast. I clean the
(00:25:39)
dishes or wash the dishes.
(00:25:41)
>> Perfect. Then we moved on to the daytime
(00:25:44)
and work.
(00:25:45)
>> We did. We learned how to say I check my
(00:25:49)
emails and the news. I leave for work at
(00:25:53)
8:15.
(00:25:54)
My commute is 25 minutes by bus. I start
(00:25:59)
work at 9:00 a.m. I have meetings with
(00:26:02)
my colleagues. I have lunch at 12:30.
(00:26:06)
>> And we can't forget the evening and
(00:26:08)
night routine.
(00:26:09)
>> Ah, the relaxing part. We practiced. I
(00:26:13)
finish work at 5:00 p.m. I arrive home
(00:26:17)
at 5:45.
(00:26:19)
I make dinner or order food. I relax in
(00:26:23)
my free time. I watch TV, read a book,
(00:26:26)
or call friends. I take a shower. I
(00:26:30)
brush my teeth. I go to bed at 11 p.m.
(00:26:35)
>> Wonderful summary, Jack. And we also
(00:26:37)
learned some very important vocabulary
(00:26:40)
words. Let's say them one more time
(00:26:42)
together. Ready, everyone?
(00:26:44)
>> Jack and Emma. Together slowly.
(00:26:48)
>> Commute.
(00:26:48)
>> Commute.
(00:26:50)
>> Colleague.
(00:26:50)
>> Colleague.
(00:26:52)
>> Routine.
(00:26:52)
>> Routine. Dishes.
(00:26:54)
>> Dishes.
(00:26:55)
>> Relax.
(00:26:56)
>> Relax.
(00:26:58)
>> Free time.
(00:26:58)
>> Free time.
(00:27:00)
>> Excellent. Remember, these words are
(00:27:03)
your tools. You can use them to build
(00:27:06)
many, many sentences about your own
(00:27:08)
life.
(00:27:09)
>> And that is the most important part. We
(00:27:12)
don't just want you to listen to us. We
(00:27:14)
want you to speak and write in English.
(00:27:16)
>> Which brings us to the most exciting
(00:27:19)
part of our video, the question of the
(00:27:21)
day.
(00:27:22)
>> Are you ready? I'm so excited to read
(00:27:24)
your answers.
(00:27:25)
>> Today's question is all about the fun
(00:27:28)
part of your day. So, the question is,
(00:27:31)
>> Jack, what is your favorite way to relax
(00:27:34)
in the evening?
(00:27:36)
>> Yes. Tell us, what do you do for fun
(00:27:39)
after a long day? Do you watch movies,
(00:27:42)
listen to music, play with your children
(00:27:45)
or your pet, cook a nice meal? Maybe you
(00:27:48)
like to exercise like me. or maybe you
(00:27:51)
play video games like me. There are no
(00:27:54)
wrong answers. We want to hear about
(00:27:56)
your life.
(00:27:57)
>> Please write your answer in the comments
(00:28:00)
below this video. You can write a short
(00:28:03)
sentence. For example, you can write I
(00:28:06)
relax by listening to music or my
(00:28:09)
favorite way to relax is watching
(00:28:11)
cartoons with my son.
(00:28:13)
>> Even if you make a small mistake, it's
(00:28:15)
okay. We are all here to learn. We
(00:28:18)
promise to read as many of your comments
(00:28:20)
as we can. We love to read them and we
(00:28:23)
sometimes even reply.
(00:28:25)
>> It's a great way to practice your
(00:28:26)
English writing and you can also read
(00:28:28)
comments from other English learners all
(00:28:30)
around the world. It's a wonderful
(00:28:31)
community.
(00:28:32)
>> Before we go, we want to say one more
(00:28:34)
thing. Learning a language is a long
(00:28:37)
journey. Some days are easy, some days
(00:28:40)
are difficult.
(00:28:40)
>> That is so true. If you had a difficult
(00:28:43)
day today, it's okay. Be kind to
(00:28:46)
yourself. Just watching this video is a
(00:28:48)
big step. You're doing a great job.
(00:28:51)
>> Every single word you learn is
(00:28:53)
important. Every sentence you practice
(00:28:56)
is a victory. We are so proud of you for
(00:28:58)
trying.
(00:28:59)
>> So from both of us, thank you. Thank you
(00:29:02)
for spending your time with us today.
(00:29:05)
Thank you for your hard work.
(00:29:06)
>> You are amazing. Keep going. Don't give
(00:29:09)
up.
(00:29:10)
>> So that's all for today's daily English
(00:29:13)
talk. Remember to
(00:29:14)
>> tell us your favorite way to relax in
(00:29:16)
the comments.
