19. 0:54So, Paul, what is our topic today? Today
20. 0:59we talk about our day, our daily
21. 1:02routine, what we do every day.
22. 1:05>> Ah, that's a great topic. We use a lot
23. 1:08of simple important English for that. We
24. 1:12use the simple present.
25. 1:15>> Yes, the simple present is for routines,
26. 1:18habits, things we do every day or
27. 1:22sometimes or never.
28. 1:24>> It sounds easy and useful. So to start,
29. 1:29Paul, are you a morning person?
30. 1:32>> A morning person? H
31. 1:35no, Emily, I am not a morning person. I
32. 1:39like my bed.
33. 1:42>> Oh, I see. So you wake up late?
34. 1:45>> Yes, I do. On weekends, I wake up very
35. 1:49late. On weekdays, for work, I wake up
36. 1:52at 8:00.
37. 1:54>> 8:00 is not so late. I am a morning
38. 1:58person. I love the morning.
39. 2:00>> Wow. Really? So, you wake up early?
40. 2:03>> I do. I wake up at 6:00 every day. Yes,
41. 2:08even on weekends.
42. 2:10>> 6:00. Wow. Emily, what do you do so
43. 2:14early?
44. 2:15>> Well, first I open the window. I love
45. 2:19the morning air. Then I drink a big
46. 2:22glass of water.
47. 2:24>> Water? That is very healthy. I need my
48. 2:29coffee. The first thing I do is make
49. 2:31coffee.
50. 2:32>> Ah, a coffee person. I like coffee, too.
51. 2:36But in the morning, I prefer tea.
52. 2:40>> Tea is good. It's calm. I need energy.
53. 2:45So, I drink coffee. I always have a big
54. 2:48cup.
55. 2:49>> I understand. After my water, I do some
56. 2:53exercise. Just a little.
57. 2:56>> Exercise in the morning. You have so
58. 2:58much energy.
59. 3:01>> It helps me wake up. After that, I take
60. 3:04a shower and then I have breakfast.
61. 3:08>> Okay. Breakfast. My favorite part of the
62. 3:11morning. What do you eat for breakfast,
63. 3:14Emily?
64. 3:15>> I usually eat yogurt and fruit.
65. 3:18Sometimes I have toast with jam. What
66. 3:22about you, Paul?
67. 3:23I love a big breakfast. I usually have
68. 3:28eggs and toast and my coffee, of course.
69. 3:31>> Eggs and toast. Yummy. That's a classic
70. 3:35breakfast.
71. 3:36>> Yes, it is. I feel ready for the day
72. 3:39after my eggs and coffee. So, what
73. 3:42happens next in your day? You go to
74. 3:45work.
75. 3:45>> Yes, I work from Monday to Friday. I
76. 3:49work at a small library. I love books.
77. 3:54>> A library. That sounds so nice and
78. 3:57quiet. I work in an office. It is not
79. 4:01quiet.
80. 4:02>> I can imagine. I like the library
81. 4:05because I see many people and many, many
82. 4:09books. I start work at 9:00.
83. 4:13>> I also start at 9:00. I drive my car to
84. 4:17work. The traffic is sometimes bad. Oh,
85. 4:20I don't like traffic. I walk to the
86. 4:23library. It is very close to my house.
87. 4:27>> You walk? That is wonderful. A nice
88. 4:30morning walk.
89. 4:32>> Yes. It's only 10 minutes. I listen to
90. 4:35music or a podcast. Sometimes I listen
91. 4:39to Mr. English Channel.
92. 4:42>> Good choice. So, we both work. We start
93. 4:46at 9. What about lunch? I get hungry
94. 4:50around 1:00.
95. 4:52>> Me, too. I usually bring my lunch from
96. 4:55home. I eat a salad or a sandwich.
97. 4:59>> That's smart. I sometimes go to a small
98. 5:02cafe near my office. They have good
99. 5:05sandwiches.
100. 5:06>> It's nice to go out sometimes. Do you
101. 5:09eat with people from your work?
102. 5:12>> Yes, I do. I usually eat with my friend
103. 5:15David. We talk about sports and movies.
104. 5:19>> That's nice. A good break from work. I
105. 5:22eat in a little park near the library
106. 5:25when the weather is nice.
107. 5:26>> A park. How lovely. With the sun and the
108. 5:31trees.
109. 5:32>> Exactly. It's very relaxing. So, we
110. 5:37work, we have lunch, then what? The
111. 5:40afternoon.
112. 5:41>> The afternoon
113. 5:44for me. The afternoon at work is busy.
114. 5:47Many emails, many phone calls.
115. 5:50>> For me, too. Many people come to the
116. 5:53library in the afternoon. Families with
117. 5:57children.
118. 5:58>> Oh, that sounds fun. Do you read stories
119. 6:02to them?
120. 6:03>> Sometimes. Yes. I love reading stories
121. 6:06to the kids. They have big happy eyes.
122. 6:10>> That is so sweet. My afternoon is just
123. 6:14more coffee.
124. 6:18>> More coffee for Paul. And when do you
125. 6:20finish work?
126. 6:21>> I finish work at 5:00. And you?
127. 6:25>> I also finish at 5:00. The library
128. 6:29closes and I go home.
129. 6:31>> So when you get home, what is the first
130. 6:35thing you do?
131. 6:37>> H.
132. 6:39Good question.
133. 6:40I have a dog. His name is Max. So, the
134. 6:44first thing I do is say hello to Max. He
135. 6:48is always so happy to see me.
136. 6:51>> A Max, that's a great way to come home.
137. 6:55I don't have a pet.
138. 6:57>> You should get a cat. You are not a
139. 7:00morning person and cats sleep a lot. A
140. 7:04perfect match.
141. 7:07>> A cat? Hm. Maybe my friend has a cat.
142. 7:12His name is Leo. Leo is very lazy. He
143. 7:17sleeps all day.
144. 7:19>> See, he wakes up, he eats, he sleeps, he
145. 7:24eats again, he sleeps again. A simple
146. 7:28life.
147. 7:28>> That is a very simple life. Leo is
148. 7:32lucky. So, after you say hello to Max,
149. 7:37what do you do?
150. 7:38>> I take Max for a walk in the park, the
151. 7:42same park where I have lunch. He loves
152. 7:44it. He runs and plays.
153. 7:47>> That's nice. Fresh air after a day of
154. 7:50work. After I get home, I usually listen
155. 7:54to music.
156. 7:55>> Oh, what kind of music do you listen to?
157. 7:58>> I like rock music and jazz. It helps me
158. 8:02relax. Sometimes I play my guitar.
159. 8:06>> You play the guitar? Wow, Paul, that's
160. 8:09so cool.
161. 8:12>> I try. I'm not a rock star, but I enjoy
162. 8:16it. I play for about an hour.
163. 8:18>> That's a fantastic hobby. My hobby is
164. 8:22reading. I have many books at home.
165. 8:25>> Of course, you work in a library. It
166. 8:30makes sense.
167. 8:31>> Yes, I love to read a good book in the
168. 8:35evening. It's quiet and I can travel to
169. 8:39other worlds.
170. 8:40>> I understand that. For me, music is like
171. 8:45that. So, what about dinner? When do you
172. 8:49have dinner?
173. 8:51>> I usually cook dinner around 7:00. I
174. 8:55like to cook. It's creative. I am not a
175. 8:59good cook, Emily. I cook simple things.
176. 9:03Pasta is my specialty.
177. 9:07>> Pasta is great. You can put anything
178. 9:10with pasta.
179. 9:11>> That is true. I often make pasta with
180. 9:16tomato sauce. Very simple, very good.
181. 9:21>> It sounds delicious. I like to cook
182. 9:24vegetables and chicken or sometimes
183. 9:27fish. And Max eats his dinner, too. Of
184. 9:30course.
185. 9:31>> Of course. Max needs his dinner. So,
186. 9:36after dinner, what do you do in the
187. 9:38evening?
188. 9:40>> I watch a movie sometimes or a show on
189. 9:44TV or I read my book. I like quiet
190. 9:48evenings.
191. 9:49>> Me, too. I watch TV or a movie or I call
192. 9:54my family or my friends.
193. 9:56>> Oh, that's very nice. You talk to your
194. 10:00family every day.
195. 10:02>> Not every day. I usually call my parents
196. 10:05on Wednesday and Sunday. I talk to my
197. 10:09sister a few times a week.
198. 10:12>> It's important to talk to family. I
199. 10:15usually call my parents on the weekend.
200. 10:18Yes, it is. So, after all that, it's
201. 10:22time for bed.
202. 10:24>> Yes, the end of the day. Because I wake
203. 10:27up early, I go to bed early.
204. 10:31>> That makes sense. What time do you go to
205. 10:34bed?
206. 10:35>> I usually go to bed around 10:00. I read
207. 10:39in bed for a few minutes and then sleep.
208. 10:42>> 10:00? That is early for me. I usually
209. 10:48go to bed around 11:30 or midnight.
210. 10:52>> See, I am a morning person and you are a
211. 10:56night person.
212. 10:59>> A night owl. Yes, that's me. I like the
213. 11:03quiet of the night.
214. 11:05>> So, this is our day. It's interesting
215. 11:08how we use the simple present for
216. 11:11everything. I wake up. You play the
217. 11:15guitar. He sleeps all day.
218. 11:18>> Yes. The verb is simple for I, you, we,
219. 11:23they, the verb is the same. I walk. You
220. 11:27walk. We walk. They walk.
221. 11:31>> But for he, she, and it, we add an s. My
222. 11:37dog Max plays with his ball. Your
223. 11:41friend's cat, Leo, eats his food. He
224. 11:45eats. She reads. It sleeps. Yes, that
225. 11:50little s is very important.
226. 11:52>> It is. And for questions, we use do or
227. 11:57does. Like I asked you, do you like
228. 12:01coffee?
229. 12:02>> Yes. And you answered yes, I do. Or you
230. 12:07can say no, I don't. And if I ask about
231. 12:11your friend Leo, I say, "Does he sleep a
232. 12:15lot?"
233. 12:16>> And the answer is, "Yes, he does." He
234. 12:20definitely does.
235. 12:21>> It's not so difficult when you see it in
236. 12:24a real conversation.
237. 12:26It's all about routine and habits.
238. 12:29>> Exactly. And everyone has a routine. Our
239. 12:33listeners have routines. I wonder what
240. 12:36they do every day. Oh, that's a great
241. 12:38question. Do they wake up early like me
242. 12:42>> or do they wake up late like me?
243. 12:46>> Do they drink tea or coffee?
244. 12:48>> Do they walk to work or drive a car?
245. 12:52>> What do they do in the evening? Do they
246. 12:55read or play the guitar?
247. 12:58>> So many interesting routines.
248. 13:00I think our days are very different, but
249. 13:03also a little similar. We work, we eat,
250. 13:08we relax.
251. 13:09>> That's true. The small things are
252. 13:12different and that makes life
253. 13:14interesting. Your guitar, my dog, Max,
254. 13:18>> the library, my busy office, it's all
255. 13:21part of our daily story.
256. 13:23>> I like that. Our daily story. And the
257. 13:27simple present helps us tell that story.
258. 13:30>> It does. It's a key to speaking English.
259. 13:33A very important first step. Well, Paul,
260. 13:36I think we had a great chat about our
261. 13:39day. It was fun to learn about your
262. 13:42routine.
263. 13:43>> It was fun to learn about yours, too,
264. 13:45Emily. Now I know why you are always so
265. 13:48happy in the morning.
266. 13:50>> It's the 6:00 air and the tea
267. 13:54>> and the exercise. I will stick to my
268. 13:57coffee. Thank you very much.
269. 14:00>> Okay. Okay. Well, I think that's all the
270. 14:04time we have for today.
271. 14:06>> Yes, it is. This was a lot of fun. We
272. 14:10hope you all had fun, too.
273. 14:13>> We hope you learned a little more about
274. 14:15the simple present and how to talk about
275. 14:19your day.
276. 14:20>> And now we want to hear from you.
277. 14:23>> Yes, please leave a comment below this
278. 14:27video. Tell us something about your day.
279. 14:30You can tell us one thing. For example,
280. 14:34I wake up at 7:00 or I drink tea in the
281. 14:39morning.
282. 14:40>> Or tell us, are you a morning person or
283. 14:43a night owl?
