Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Enjoy English Talks,
where every conversation helps you learn. I'm Judy.
Hello, Judy. Hello, everyone. I'm Jake. How are you today, Judy?
I'm very well, thank you.
One of my plants has a new little leaf this morning. And you, Jake?
I'm good, but my sister isn't very happy with me.
Anna, what happened?
You know, our Sunday video call?
She asked me,
Jake, what do you do all day?
I have no idea.
And I said,
Normal.
Normal?
Just normal.
She said,
That isn't an answer.
Tell me about your day.
So I thought about it, and I said,
I wake up, work, max, sleep.
That's your whole day?
Four things?
Anna said,
Thank you, Jake.
I feel very close to you now.
Oh dear. But it's strange, isn't it?
You do so many small things every day.
Hundreds. But I don't have the English for them.
I can talk about big ideas with you,
but my toothbrush, my keys, my sock, I have no sentences.
Many people feel this way.
You do these things every single day, but you never say them.
So today, we're going to fix that.
We'll walk through your whole day, from morning to night.
My whole day? In English?
Your whole day. Ten parts of the day. Fifteen sentences in each part.
Wait, that's one hundred and fifty sentences.
It is, but they're very short. Most have only four or five words.
And by the end of today,
you'll tell your whole day in English without stopping.
Without stopping? I stop when I order coffee.
You won't need to stop. Here's our big idea, and it's only four words.
Do it. Say it. You brush your teeth. Say it. You lock the door. Say it.
Do it. Say it. So my day is my English class.
Yes, and it's a free class. It happens every day.
You already know the story, and you already know the answer.
I like that. No homework. Just my life.
So, here's how it works.
I describe the moment, then I say the sentence. You say it after me.
And everyone listening, please say it too.
Out loud or quietly if you're on a train.
And at the end?
At the end, I'll be Anna, and you'll tell her your day.
Oh no. She's much scarier than you.
But first, we have a small request.

Thank you. It helps us so much.
We love our listeners.
Okay, now let's start.
Where do we begin? I hope it isn't too early.
I'm sorry, Jake. It's very early.
Of course it is.
Okay, I'm in bed. My eyes are closed.
It's morning. The room is dark.
Then you hear a loud sound. My alarm goes off.
My alarm goes off. Goes off? It sounds like it's leaving.
I wish. For an alarm, go off means it starts to ring.
So what do you do? I turn off my alarm.
I turn off my alarm.
Mine is across the room now, so I have to walk there. Very sadly.
Now your eyes are still closed. Slowly, you do this. I open my eyes.
I open my eyes. One eye first, then I think about the other one.
Now tell me the time. I wake up at 6.30.
I wake up at 6.30. 6.30. Can you believe it? Max can't.
But you're still under your warm blanket. I stay in bed for a minute.
I stay in bed for a minute. A minute is very generous.
That means more than you need.
Well said. And there's an honest sentence here too.
I don't want to get up.
Ah, I don't want to get up.
I don't need to practice that one. It's perfect already.
But you do it. I get up.
So, wake up means your eyes open, and get up means you leave your bed.
I get up. I see. I wake up at 6.30, and I get up at 6.40.
That's a very clear example. Next, your body feels small and tight.
You push your arms up high. I stretch my arms.
I stretch my arms.
Stretch. Like this. Ooh, my back just said something.
Your bed is a mess now, so you pull up the blanket. I make my bed.
I make my bed. But I didn't build it.
No, but that's the English.
You make your bed. It means you make it neat.
Now the room is still dark. I open the curtains.
I open the curtains.
Curtains are the cloth on the window, right? Mine are green.
Yes, and now you can see outside. I look out the window.
I look out the window. I see a man with a very small dog every morning.
And you want to know about today.
You pick up your phone or you just look at the sky.
I check the weather.
I check the weather. Check means I look to be sure.
And it's always raining.
Your mouth is dry, so you go to the kitchen first.
I drink a glass of water.
I drink a glass of water. That's your morning, I know.
It is. Then the floor feels cold. I put on my slippers.
I put on my slippers.
The soft shoes for home. I remember them.
Max has a different plan for them.
And the last one, you see someone you love. I say good morning.
I say good morning. I say it to Max.
He says nothing. He looks at his bowl.
I say it to my plants. They also say nothing. And that's 15, Jake.
15 sentences and you're still in your pajamas.
15 already? That was easy.
Let's try three very fast.
I give you the moment, you give me the sentence,
and everyone try to say it before Jake does.
A loud sound in a dark room.
My alarm goes off.
Your feet touch the floor. You leave the bed.
I get up.
The blanket goes up and it looks neat.
I make my bed.
I don't always do it, but I can say it.
Now let's go to the next room. I go to the bathroom.
I go to the bathroom. It's very close.
My whole apartment is very close.
You take your toothbrush. I brush my teeth.
I brush my teeth. There's my toothbrush. I knew it had a sentence.
Then some cold water. I wash my face.
I wash my face. Cold water. Now both eyes are open.
Now for hot water. I take a shower.
I take a shower. I'm a very good singer in there. Only there.
You use some shampoo. I wash my hair.
I wash my hair. And Max sits outside the door.
He's waiting. He's worried.
Then you take your towel.
I dry my hair.
I dry my hair. With my towel.
If I can find it.
Max likes my towel.
Your hair is going in every direction.
So you do this. I comb my hair.
I comb my hair.
Comb. C-O-M-B. And we don't say the B. English is so strange.
Very strange. Now, for many men, I shave.
And for some of us, I put on makeup.
I shave. On Mondays, I do it very slowly.
And I put on makeup. Not me. That one is only for practice.
Then you stop and check your face. I look in the mirror.
I look in the mirror. And the mirror looks at me.
We're both not sure.
Now you stand in front of your closet.
I choose my clothes.
I choose my clothes.
I have 20 shirts.
I always choose the blue one.
And then the next one.
I get dressed.
I get dressed.
So that means all my clothes.
Shirt, pants, everything.
Yes.
Get dressed means you put on all your clothes.
And for one thing, we say put on.
I put on a clean shirt.
I put on a clean shirt. Clean is important. Clean and blue.
Now your feet are cold again. I look for my socks.
I look for my socks.
Look for means I try to find something. I do that a lot.
And sometimes this happens. I can't find my other sock.
I can't find my other sock. Judy, this sentence is my life.
I know where it is, too. It's under the bed. With Max.
Finally, you take one more look, and you smile.
I'm ready.
I'm ready. Ready for the day.
Well, ready for coffee.
That's 30 sentences.
Now, everyone, how's your voice?
Let's keep going, please. Say them with us.
Your mouth learns only when your mouth moves.
Mine's learning very well. It's also hungry.
Then let's feed it.
Follow your nose. I go to the kitchen.
I go to the kitchen.
Three steps, then I'm there. Max gets there first.
This one is the big idea of this room. I make breakfast.
I make breakfast. Do I make it or do I cook it?
Both are fine. Make is for all food and drink.
Now you fill the little pot and put it on the stove. I boil some water.
I boil some water. Boil means it's so hot it starts to jump.
That's a lovely way to say it.
And for you, this is the most important moment of the day.
I make coffee.
I make coffee.
Please be quiet.
I'm having a beautiful moment.
You take a pan and some oil.
I fry two eggs.
I fry two eggs.
Two eggs every day.
My breakfast never changes.
You put some bread in the machine.
I make toast.
I make toast.
And then it jumps out.
And I jump too.
Now someone is looking at you with very big eyes.
I feed my dog.
I feed my dog.
Feed means I give him food.
It takes me one minute.
It takes him four seconds.
Everything's ready now.
You pull out a chair.
I sit down at the table.
I sit down at the table.
It's a very small table.
My toast and I are very close.
And now listen to the verb.
I have breakfast.
I have breakfast. Have, not eat?
Eat is fine too, but we often say have.
Have breakfast, have lunch, have dinner.
You'll hear it all the time.
Next, you pick up your cup.
I drink my coffee while it's hot in my kitchen. I love this sentence.
You look at your phone or a newspaper. I read the news.
I read the news for one minute. Then I look at videos of dogs.
And you have some new texts. I check my messages.
I check my messages. Anna sent me a photo of her breakfast.
Better than mine, again.
Breakfast is over. Your plate's dirty.
I wash the dishes.
I wash the dishes. Dishes are the plates, the cups, all of that.
I do it right away.
Sometimes.
There are crumbs everywhere.
Those are the tiny pieces of bread.
I clean the table.
I clean the table.
And Max cleans the floor.
He loves crumbs.
And suddenly, you see the time.
I look at the clock.
I look at the clock.
And then I say a word that isn't in today's lesson.
Forty-five sentences, Jake.
Now you've had breakfast, and it's time to go outside.
Outside?
But it's so warm in here.
But someone needs to go out first.
He's standing at the door. I take my dog for a walk.
I take my dog for a walk. Or he takes me. I'm not sure who's in charge.
Back home, it's time to go to work.
I take my bag.
I take my bag with my laptop and usually one old banana.
It's cold today.
I put on my coat.
I put on my coat.
My mom is very happy now and she doesn't even know.
Then you sit on the little step at the door.
I put on my shoes.
I put on my shoes.
Remember, I put on my coat.
I put on my shoes.
It's the same little phrase.
You did that very well.
And what's next?
You open your bag. You check your pocket. I look for my keys.
I look for my keys. They live in the bowl by the door.
Except when they don't.
You found them. Now you step outside. I lock the door.
I lock the door. Then I walk away.
Then I go back and check it. Every day.
Next, you start moving. I walk to the bus stop.
I walk to the bus stop. Five minutes if I don't stop to look at dogs.
And you stand there for a while. I wait for the bus.
I wait for the bus. In the rain.
Because I checked the weather and I was right.
Here it comes. I get on the bus.
I get on the bus. Get on. I thought it was get in.
Very close. For a bus or a train, we say get on.
For a car, we say get in.
Now you look around. I find a seat.
I find a seat. A seat is a place to sit. On Mondays, there aren't any.
You take out your headphones.
I listen to a podcast.
I listen to a podcast.
I know a very good one.
It has a very nice man in it.
And a very patient woman.
Now, here's your stop.
I get off the bus.
I get off the bus.
Get on, get off.
Those are easy.
If I remember my stop.
But let's go back.
Some mornings go badly.
The bus leaves without you.
I miss my bus.
I miss my bus and I miss my bed.
Oh, that's very good. You can miss a person and you can miss a bus.
And then you look at your watch. I'm running late.
I'm running late. Am I really running?
Maybe not. It means you're going to be late soon.
And the final one here,
you walk through the door of your office. I get to work.
I get to work. So get to means I arrive.
I get to work at 9. Well, I try.
Very good. That's 60.
Now let's take a small rest.
Everyone, can I tell you something?
You don't need to remember all of these today.
Choose the five you say most.
Say them tomorrow when you really do them.
Do it, say it.
Do it, say it, exactly.
Good, now let me find my serious work face.
This part is for work, but if you're a student,
you can change a few words. You'll see.
You walk in. I say hello to everyone.
I say hello to everyone.
There are only eight people. It's a small company.
You go to your place. I sit down at my desk.
I sit down at my desk, with all my colors and my very old coffee cup.
You press the button. I turn on my computer.
I turn on my computer. And I wait. It's as slow as I am in the morning.
Oh look, there are 40 new messages. I read my emails.
I read my emails. 39 aren't important, but I read them.
You write back to the important one. I answer my emails.
I answer them very politely, in very short sentences.
There's a lot to do today, so you take a pen. I make a list.
I make a list. I love lists. Then I lose them.
Now it's nine o'clock. I start work at nine.
I start work at nine. What about students?
I start school at nine. See? Change one word.
And at ten, your team is waiting. I go to a meeting.
I go to a meeting. I bring a notebook. I look very serious.
Your boss says something important. You write it down. I take notes.
I take notes. Notes are short words to help you remember.
Sometimes I draw dogs.
And sometimes you don't understand, so you're brave.
I ask a question.
I ask a question.
One.
I asked one question in October.
My boss said, good question, Jake.
I still remember it.
I remember too.
Then you have a small problem with your work.
I talk to my boss.
I talk to my boss.
She's very kind, but I still check my shirt first.
The person next to you looks lost. I help a co-worker.
I help a co-worker. A co-worker is a person I work with.
I help her and she helps me. Mostly she helps me.
Your client wants to hear your voice. I make a phone call.
I make a phone call.
Hmm, my hands get a little cold when I say that one.
Your eyes are tired now.
You stop for five minutes. I take a short break.
I take a short break. A break is a small rest from work.
This is my favorite part of work.
And then you walk to the kitchen at work. I get a cup of coffee.
I get a cup of coffee. My second. Or third. Please don't count.
I won't, but we did count something.
That's 75 sentences, Jake. We're halfway through the day.
Halfway. And I'm not tired at all. Only a little.
Then here's your first small tool.
It's called first, then, after that. These three little words
put your sentences in order.
They turn a list into a little story. Tell me your morning. Only
three things. Um, let me try. First, I wake up.
Then, I take a shower. After that, I have breakfast.
Beautiful. Do you hear it? That isn't a list anymore.
That's a little story about you.
Now add one more.
After that, I take Max for a walk,
and he takes me to every tree on the street.
And that's a better story than normal.
Much better. Anna's going to be so surprised.
Now it's almost one o'clock. Your stomach is talking. I'm hungry.
I'm hungry. I don't need the clock for that one.
So, you've stopped working. I take a lunch break.
I take a lunch break. It's the same word again.
Break. I like this word.
Some days, you want to leave the office. I go out for lunch.
I go out for lunch. On Fridays, the whole team goes out.
We eat and we talk.
And on the other days, you save some money. I bring my lunch from home.
I bring my lunch from home. In a little box. Last night's pasta.
It's better the next day.
You find a table with your team.
I eat with my coworkers.
I eat with my coworkers.
And now I have good answers when they ask me questions.
At the cafe, you say what you want.
I order a sandwich.
I order a sandwich.
Order means I ask for food.
No mushrooms, please.
Then you take out your card.
I pay for my food.
I pay for my food. Pay for.
And I look at the price, and I'm a little sad.
Some of us have a bad habit at lunch. I eat too fast.
I eat too fast. I learned that from Max.
Then you feel thirsty. I drink some water.
I drink some water. Water, not coffee. My doctor would be proud.
You still have 10 minutes. It's a nice day. I go for a short walk.
I go for a short walk around the building.
Good for my legs and good for my designs.
You find a quiet place and you close your eyes. I sit in the sun.
I sit in the sun, when there's some sun, so twice a year.
And you think of someone you love. I call my mom.
I call my mom. She always asks me, are you warm enough? Even in July.
Then you take out your phone, just for a moment. I look at my phone.
I look at my phone, just for a moment. And then it's two o'clock.
And after a big lunch, you know this feeling. I feel sleepy.
I feel sleepy. Sleepy is my second name. Can I have a nap here?
You can't, sorry. Time's up. I go back to work.
I go back to work. Go back. My feet are very slow now.
And that's 90 sentences. Let's do a small check, everyone.
Are you saying them out loud?
If you're quiet, try the next one with me. Even a whisper is fine.
A whisper is a very soft voice.
Like this? I'm saying this in a whisper.
Hello, everyone.
Perfect. But please use your real voice now.
Yes, Judy. This is my real voice. It's just tired after lunch.
Now the afternoon begins. You open the big job on your computer.
I work on a project.
I work on a project. A project is a big piece of work.
Mine is a logo. A very small logo with a very big problem.
After two hours, it's done. You send it. I finish my work.
I finish my work. I love saying that one. It doesn't happen often.
Then it's three o'clock. Your head feels heavy. I feel tired.
I feel tired. Tired and sleepy. Are they the same?
Almost. Sleepy means your body wants to sleep.
Tired means you have no energy.
And here comes another feeling.
I want something sweet.
I want something sweet.
You know me too well.
Your legs have been under that desk all day, so you stand up.
I stretch my legs.
I stretch my legs.
So, stretch my arms, stretch my legs.
I like that.
And stretch your legs can also mean to take a little walk.
Then it's 4.30, and time moves so lowly. I check the clock again.
I check the clock again. It's still 4.30. I think it's broken.
But then, finally, the good moment comes. I finish work at 6.
I finish work at 6. The best 6 of the day.
Better than 6.30 in the morning.
You press the button again. I turn off my computer.
I turn off my computer.
Turn on, turn off.
My computer and my alarm.
You take your bag and stand up.
I say goodbye to my co-workers.
I say goodbye to my co-workers.
See you tomorrow. Have a good night.
Then you walk out.
I leave the office.
I leave the office.
I leave the office and I can breathe again.
On the way home, you remember your empty fridge.
I go to the supermarket.
I go to the supermarket. I always go hungry, so I always buy too much.
You stop at the fresh food. I buy some vegetables.
I buy some vegetables. I buy them. I look at them.
Three days later, I feel sorry for them.
Everything's in two big bags. They're heavy. I carry the bags home.
I carry the bags home. Carry means I hold them and walk.
My arms get longer every week.
And now listen carefully to this one. I get home.
I get home? Not get to home?
No, too. It's the same for go home and come home.
We just say, I get home.
And then you sit down at the door one more time. I take off my shoes.
I take off my shoes. Put on in the morning, take off at night.
The best moment of the day.
And that's 105, Jake. But did you notice this little word, get?
Oh, I get up, I get dressed, I get to work.
I get home. It's everywhere.
It's one of the busiest words in English.
It works harder than you do.
Please don't tell my boss.
Wait. One hundred.
So, we passed one hundred.
We did, when you left the office.
And you didn't even feel it.
Um, one hundred.
Should I do something?
Should I jump?
You can sit down. You're home.
Home. That's my favorite word so far.
Your work clothes feel too tight now. I change my clothes.
I change my clothes. Goodbye, blue shirt. Hello, big soft sweater.
Someone's been waiting all day, and he brought you a ball.
I play with my dog.
I play with my dog. He brings me the ball. I throw it.
He doesn't bring it back. So, that's a short game.
Now your stomach's talking again. I cook dinner.
I cook dinner. Careful.
I once made pasta with too much water. I call it pasta soup.
A famous dish. You take a knife and a board. I cut the vegetables.
I cut the vegetables, the ones I bought, before they get too sad.
Let's use a word you know now. I boil some pasta.
I boil some pasta. Boil. Water jumping.
And this time, I'll use less water.
Good thinking. Now you put the plate
and the fork on the table. I set the table.
I set the table. For one person, and one dog who's very hopeful.
And some nights you start thinking about your phone
and you forget the pan.
I burn my dinner.
I burn my dinner.
Burn means it gets too hot and it turns black.
Max still wants it.
So, what can you do then? You find a number. I order a pizza.
Oh, I'm very good at this one. The pizza man knows Max's name.
That says a lot. Now, the food's ready. I eat dinner.
I eat dinner. Or I have dinner. Have or eat. Both are fine, I think.
Both are fine. You've been listening.
And if you live with someone, you can do this.
I talk about my day.
I talk about my day.
I talk about it to Max. He's a very good listener.
He only leaves when the food's gone.
Now, remember this morning, I wash the dishes.
We have another way to say that. I do the dishes.
I do the dishes. Do the dishes. Wash the dishes. It's the same?
The same. Now, there's still some mess by the stove.
I clean the kitchen.
I clean the kitchen. My kitchen is so small.
One minute is enough. And I still don't do it.
And the bin is full. Something smells a little strange.
I take out the trash.
I take out the trash. Trash is the things you throw away.
I do it at night in my slippers.
It's cold outside now, so you come back in and make something warm.
I make some hot chocolate.
I make some hot chocolate. Every evening in autumn.
This one isn't a routine, it's a promise.
And the last one for this part.
Your favorite place in the home. I sit on the sofa.
I sit on the sofa. Ugh, the sofa's been calling my name all day.
That's 120. Stay with me, everyone. We're so close now.
Only two more parts of the day. Keep your voice on.
Keep your voice on. I like that. Mine's getting better.
It really is. And here's your second tool.
It's before and after. They connect two actions.
I wash my hands before dinner.
I do the dishes after dinner. Can you try?
Um, let me try.
I change my clothes after work, and I check my keys before I leave.
Those are perfect. And that first one is just what you do.
Everyone, try one for yourself. Use before, use after.
Now can I have some time for myself. I've worked very hard today.
Finally, this time is yours. No work, no bus.
You let your shoulders go down. I relax.
I relax. Only two words. It's my new favorite. I can say it for hours.
You turn on the TV. You find something funny. I watch a movie.
I watch a movie. With subtitles.
And a little bit of crying if there's a dog in it.
Or you just want some good songs. I listen to music.
I listen to music.
Rock on some days, jazz on other days, like the jazz at your concert.
I do love that. And on quiet nights, here's my choice. I read a book.
I read a book. I read the first page. I read it four or five times.
Now, what's in the corner of your room? I play the guitar.
I play the guitar. Ten minutes. Sorry, neighbors.
You want to stay strong and healthy?
You take your bag. I go to the gym.
I go to the gym. I pay for it every month.
So, in a way, I go every month.
It's Sunday evening. You miss some people. I call my family.
I call my family. And this time, I have more to say than normal.
Or you only have one minute,
so you write something short. I text a friend.
I text a friend. Text. So I send a short message on my phone.
And now, text is a verb?
Yes. Many people use it this way. And here's my favorite.
A little glass of water, a little green leaf. I water my plants.
I water my plants. I have three.
Well, two and a half. I'm sorry. Plant number three.
Then you see the basket, and it's very full. I do the laundry.
I do the laundry.
Laundry means the clothes I need to wash.
The dishes and the laundry both use do.
I see a pattern here.
That's a great thing to see. We use do for many jobs at home.
Then your clothes are dry.
You make them small and neat. I fold my clothes.
I fold my clothes. I fold my clothes on Sunday.
By Monday, they don't know that.
Now an important one for everyone here. I study English.
I study English with you right now. This counts.
It certainly does. And you don't just read it, you use your mouth.
I practice speaking.
I practice speaking. To the mirror, to Max,
to the man with the very small dog, I'm getting braver.
You say, just one more, and an hour goes by. I watch one more video.
I watch one more video, then one more, and now it's midnight,
and I know all about how to build a boat.
So, you see the numbers on your phone, and you get a little surprise.
I look at the time.
I look at the time. It's late. Where did my evening go?
That's 135. Your evening went into your English, I hope.
Now it's time for the last part of the day.
Already? But I just sat down.
You stand up, and you stop the movie. I get ready for bed.
I get ready for bed.
I like that one. I'm ready. In every way.
The room goes quiet. I turn off the TV.
I turn off the TV. Turn off.
That's three times today. I think I own this one now.
Here's one that I know you do now. I put my phone in the kitchen.
I put my phone in the kitchen. It sleeps there.
If it stays next to my bed, I'll watch Cats until midnight.
Then you change into your nightclothes.
I put on my pajamas.
I put on my pajamas, the ones with the small dogs on them.
Please don't tell anyone.
We're all listening, Jake.
Now, tomorrow is coming, so here's the next one.
I set my alarm.
I set my alarm for 6.30.
We aren't friends yet, but we're trying.
You remember the front door.
You go and look.
I check the door.
I check the door.
Then I go back to bed.
Then I check it again.
The room needs to be dark now.
I turn off the lights.
I turn off the lights and I don't step on Max.
Well, I try.
And then the best part of any day.
It's cold outside, but the blanket is warm.
I get into bed.
I get into bed.
Oh, I can almost feel it.
Why don't I go to bed at six?
If you have a book by the bed, this is the time.
I read a few pages.
I read a few pages, maybe two.
Then the book falls on my face.
Now, one small light is still on.
I turn off the lamp.
I turn off the lamp.
Goodbye, little lamp.
And your mind isn't quite finished yet.
I think about tomorrow.
I think about tomorrow.
The meeting, the logo.
Did I check the door?
It's okay.
Slowly, you stop thinking.
I close my eyes, so this morning I open them, and now I close them.
Oh, that's nice.
It really is. And now, slowly, slowly, I fall asleep.
I fall asleep. Fall? Like falling down?
Almost. Fall asleep means you start to sleep.
You don't plan it. It just happens.
But some nights, your mind won't stop.
I can't sleep.
I can't sleep. Then I count dogs.
It doesn't work. They all want to play.
And now, Jake, there's one sentence left.
What do you say at the end of the day? It's a little like number 15.
Number 15. I say good morning.
Oh, so number 150 is I say good night.
I say good night. And that's your whole day. All 150.
Wow. I'm tired. And I only talked about it.
Before Anna calls, here's one last small tool.
It's usually and sometimes.
They tell people how often you do something.
I usually have eggs.
I sometimes order a pizza.
Your turn.
Um, okay.
I usually get home at seven.
I sometimes burn my dinner.
Lovely and honest.
So now you have the sentences and you have three little tools.
Are you ready to talk to your sister?
Um, I think so. Is she angry?
Let's see. I'm Anna now. It's Sunday evening.
Hi, Jake. So, one more try.
Tell me about your days, and please don't say normal.
Hi Anna, okay. Are you sitting down? First, my alarm rings at 6.30.
I don't want to leave my bed, but I do.
6.30? You? Who are you, and where's my brother?
I know. Next, I brush my teeth and I stand under hot water. After that,
I put on my blue shirt and I look for one sock for a very long time.
It's with Max, isn't it?
It's always with Max. Then I make coffee and two eggs.
I usually read the news on my phone.
And I feed Max and I walk him before work.
That's a busy morning. And then?
Then I take the bus. I sometimes miss it, so I run.
I get to the office at about nine.
I read my emails and I go to meetings. And now I ask questions.
You?
Questions? In English?
One question, but it was a good one.
At lunch, I go out with my team on Fridays.
On other days, I bring last night's pasta.
Is it pasta or pasta soup?
Very funny.
In the afternoon, I work on my logo, and I feel a little sleepy.
I finish at six.
Sometimes I stop at the supermarket after work.
And when you get home?
My shoes come off and the sweater goes on.
I play with Max, I cook dinner, or I burn dinner, then I do the dishes.
Well, I usually do them.
Usually.
After that, I relax.
I play the guitar for 10 minutes and I water my plants.
Before bed, my phone goes to the kitchen.
I set my alarm and I check the door twice.
And then I say goodnight to Max.
Jake, that's so much. I had no idea. I can see your whole day now.
So, it's normal, but it's mine.
Jake, how long was that? You didn't stop.
I really didn't. I think my sister knows me a little better now.
I think so too. Do you remember what you told her before?
Four things, and two of them were sleeping and waking up.
And now?
Now I have a whole story, and it's the same life.
Nothing changed but my words.
That's what I love about this. Your day was always interesting.
You just needed the sentences.
Now, everyone listening, it's your turn.
I'll ask you three questions. Pause the video and answer
each one. Use first, then, and after that.
Jake will go after you. I'm the example again. Okay.
Question one. What do you do in the morning?
First, I wake up and stretch. Then, I eat breakfast with my dog.
After that, I go to the bus stop.
Question 2. What do you do in the middle of your day?
I usually sit at my desk and work.
I have lunch at 1. After lunch, I go for a walk.
And question three. What do you do at night?
I make dinner and I watch something funny.
Before bed, I read a little. Then I go to sleep.
Wonderful. And everyone at home, I hope you answered too.
That's your day in English. Your real day.
Judy, can I say something to our listeners?
Please do.
Please don't try to learn them all today.
Tomorrow morning, say just one part.
Say it in your bathroom.
Your family can think you're strange.
Mine does.
That's great advice.
Choose one part of the day and say it while you do it.
In ten days, you'll have them all.
You already do these things, so you'll never forget to practice.
Do it.
Say it.
Do it.
Say it, and the next time someone asks about your day,
you won't say normal.
I'll say, are you sitting down?
Okay, let's review.
Yes, let's see what we learned.
Today, we talked about your whole day in 150 short sentences.
Yes, 10 parts, from waking up and getting ready,
to breakfast, the bus, and work.
Good, and then lunch, the afternoon, and dinner.
And free time and bedtime, plus three tools.
First, then, after that.
Before and after, usually and sometimes.
Perfect. You remembered everything.
I learned a lot today.
You did amazing today, Jake.
Thank you. I should go. It's almost my bedtime.
I have a lot of sentences to say.
Well, that's all the time we have for today.
