mature what about a horror

movie maybe what is the horror movie

about it's about zombies

is there a lot of

action yes it's a very exciting and

thrilling film there's a lot of action

but I should warn you there is also a

little bit of romance in the

movie really romance in a zombie

movie yes in fact the romance is between

a man and a

zombie that sounds hilarious we'll take

two tickets

[Music]

please now you are going to listen to a

conversation between two friends

Christine and

Ryan they are talking about their daily

routine activities 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 6 but I

usually hit the snooze for at least an

hour I normally get out of bed after

7 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 boss leaves for work at

7:45 that seems a little tight how far

is the bus stop from your

home it's a 5-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 workday 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

10:00 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'll 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 6 o' 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

8:00

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 upon

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

[Music]

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

7:00 and then I wind down before going

to bed at

10:00 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 10:00 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

after

midnight listen to the lessons

repeatedly to think in English and

automatic

speaking repetition is very very

important to become

fluent you need to speak English

fluently without translating in your

head the words should come out of your

mouth automatically

so this is where the repetition comes

in if you repeat the same vocabulary and

sentences many times you will become a

master of this vocabulary and

grammar so you will be able to use that

words automatically without thinking

about grammar rules and without

translating vocabulary in your

head in order to think in English you

must repeat vocabulary and sentences as

much as you can after lots of repetition

eventually you will start to think

English in your head and improve your

speaking

skills as I mentioned before we use the

question and answer method repeatedly in

our short story

lessons so you will listen to the

vocabulary and sentences many times in

the same

lesson if you want to complete your

practice of this story you can go to
