After each part, I'll explain some useful English phrases. Let's get started. Hey Anna, are you a morning person? Definitely not. I usually wake up around 7 o'clock but I stay in bed for a few minutes scrolling on my phone. Same here. I hit the snooze button at least twice. Then I get up, brush my teeth and take a quick shower. I make a cup of tea and grab a quick bite before leaving the house. No time for a big breakfast. I'm always running late. I just wash my face, throw on some clothes and rush out the door. Let's look at some useful words and phrases from the morning routine. 1. Scroll on my phone. 1. Look through your phone, usually on social media or messages. 2. Hit the snooze button. Delay waking up by pressing the button on your alarm. 3. Grab a quick bite. Eat something small and fast. 4. Throw on clothes. Put on clothes quickly without thinking too much. 5. Rush out the door.

After that, I head to the library to study or finish some assignments. It's quiet there. Nice. I usually pack my own lunch but sometimes I order food online. I sometimes take a power nap if I'm really tired. Just 20 minutes does the trick. That sounds good. I always get sleepy around 3 p.m. Now let's review the new phrases from the afternoon routine. 1.
