[Music] now you are going to listen to a conversation between two friends christine and ryan they are talking about their daily routine activities so you will learn a lot of vocabulary for the daily routine in english remember listening to this lesson many times and repeat the sentence after you listen to them after the conversation i will also ask some questions about it try to answer the questions out loud so you will improve your english speaking skills okay are you ready let's get started hey ryan over here oh there you are christine sorry i'm late that's no problem what held you up i've just had a busy morning oh really yeah lately my mornings have been packed full of things to do i'm feeling overwhelmed i'm sorry to hear that what all do you have to do every morning well usually i sleep in past my alarm because i'm too tired to get up so my alarm goes off at six but i usually hit the snooze for at least an hour i normally get out of bed after seven why are you so tired in the morning hello are you enjoying the story please give us a like thank you it's my fault i usually go out with my friends for a drink at about 10 at night and so i get back home after midnight then i usually play video games or look at social media until i finally go to bed at 2. oh that's not good you should go to bed sooner i know i think i'm addicted to my phone okay so how else is your morning so busy well as i said i usually wake up too late what else as soon as i get up i have to take my dog outside to go potty then i usually throw the ball for him so he can exercise by then it is already 7 30 and i still haven't eaten breakfast brushed my teeth or gotten dressed and my bus leaves for work at 7 45. that seems a little tight how far is the bus stop from your home it's a five minute walk if i walk fast which i always do i quickly get dressed and brush my teeth and i usually skip breakfast then i run out the door and rush to the bus stop if all goes well i arrive at work by 8 45.
then i usually grab a candy bar or a soda before starting work then i work until lunch when i usually go and get some fast food with some friends at the end of the work day i rush home to play computer games for a few hours before i order pizza or fast food for dinner after dinner i watch tv until around 10 then it's time to hit the bar and hang out with my friends it sounds like you could change your schedule around that would help you be healthier and have more energy oh really what can i change if you like this video and want to see more videos like it be sure to subscribe to our channel thanks for watching oh really what can i change well you could go to bed earlier after dinner consider watching some tv before going to bed before midnight then you will get at least two more hours of sleep i see but then when would i see my friends yes you would miss out on seeing your friends at the bar every night you could consider asking them to meet you after work before you eat dinner or perhaps you can only see your friends on the weekend but when you go to bed earlier at night you will wake up in the morning feeling refreshed then you will have enough time to eat a healthy breakfast before you head out to the bus stop that's a good idea i get very tired in the mid-morning it may be because of the candy and soda i eat when i get to work yes skip the candy and soda and also consider using your free time in the morning to pack a healthy lunch eating fast food every day isn't just unhealthy it's also expensive wow i can't wait to make these changes in my daily routine i feel better already i'm happy to help ryan tell me christine what does your daily routine look like i'm so glad you asked i usually wake up at about six o'clock in the morning the first thing i do is drink a big glass of water so i start the day off feeling hydrated after that i do some sort of exercise for about 30 minutes i will either run do yoga or lift weights following that i take a shower get dressed and put on my makeup i then usually eat a light breakfast of oatmeal or eggs by that time it is usually about eight o'clock i quickly pack a salad or sandwich for my lunch and then i ride my bike to work which takes about 20 minutes when i get to work i like to first catch up on emails then i check my calendar to see what meetings i have i work through the morning and then i sit outside and eat the salad or sandwich i packed for lunch then i return to work for the afternoon since i usually arrive early i also leave a little bit early which helps me to beat the traffic on the way home i often stop by the store to pick up fresh food for dinner in the evening i sometimes hang out with friends or i will watch tv or read i cook dinner and eat at about seven o'clock and then i wind down before going to bed at 10 o'clock wow that sounds like a very good day are you able to fall asleep so early oh yes because i exercise every morning and ride my bicycle to and from work i'm plenty tired by 10 o'clock at night you know this was really helpful christine i think i may even buy a bicycle and ride to work a few days per week great idea ryan just don't overdo it consider changing your schedule one step at a time so that you don't get burnt out i will do that say it's been really nice chatting with you christine i think i will run to the store and pick up some healthy food for dinner thank you for meeting with me anytime ryan take care bye bye okay back to the beginning with questions you must answer every question use your pause button and answer the question then
