Well, hello and welcome to this English
0
360
1753
00:02
lesson about describing a typical day.
1
2114
3375
00:05
This is a common thing that you will talk about.
2
5490
3103
00:08
If you have an English conversation with someone.
3
8594
3399
00:11
They might say, oh, what time do you usually get up?
4
11994
2591
00:14
What time do you usually go to bed?
5
14586
1455
00:16
What time do you usually eat lunch?
6
16042
2607
00:18
So in this English lesson, I will give you
7
18650
2671
00:21
example sentences for my day, my typical day.
8
21322
3927
00:25
And you can use them to make
9
25250
1993
00:27
typical sentences for your typical day.
10
27244
2887
00:30
You'll notice I used the word usually a lot.
11
30132
3327
00:33
That will come up a lot in this lesson.
12
33460
1719
00:35
It's a good way to start these sentences.
13
35180
2447
00:37
So once again, welcome to this English lesson
14
37628
3023
00:40
about how to describe a typical day.
15
40652
3003
00:44
I wake up at 6:30am so this
16
44635
2976
00:47
is the format of this lesson.
17
47612
1871
00:49
I'm going to give you a
18
49484
1471
00:50
number of slides, complete sentence.
19
50956
3717
00:54
You can start all of these
20
54674
1623
00:56
sentences with the words usually.
21
56298
2175
00:58
That's a good way to indicate that
22
58474
2247
01:00
you're talking about something that happens regularly.
23
60722
3135
01:03
So, and mostly I'm talking about Monday to Friday.
24
63858
4711
01:08
When you talk about your typical day, it's usually
25
68570
2687
01:11
your typical work day or your typical school day.
26
71258
3335
01:14
So I wake up at 6:30am Um, I don't get out
27
74594
4705
01:19
of bed right away, but this is when I wake up.
28
79300
2711
01:22
Remember, wake up is the point where
29
82012
2231
01:24
you go from sleeping to being awake.
30
84244
3087
01:27
And I'll talk about the next portion
31
87332
2423
01:29
of the morning in a moment.
32
89756
1711
01:31
Uh, again, if I use the word usually, I would say,
33
91468
3047
01:34
usually I wake up at 6:30am so you can take this
34
94516
3767
01:38
sentence and put in the time that you get up and
35
98284
2615
01:40
you'll be ready to start describing your typical day.
36
100900
3475
01:45
I usually hit the snooze button once.
37
105025
3080
01:48
Sometimes I hit the snooze button twice.
38
108106
2471
01:50
The snooze button is of course, the small button on
39
110578
3095
01:53
your phone or alarm clock that tells it to stop
40
113674
3983
01:57
ringing and to ring again in five or seven or
41
117658
3959
02:01
10 minutes, whatever you have it set to.
42
121618
2631
02:04
Uh, I usually hit the snooze button once, and then
43
124250
2751
02:07
seven minutes later my alarm clock goes off again.
44
127002
3852
02:10
Remind me that I should, I should get up.
45
130855
3336
02:14
And that's the next sentence.
46
134192
2391
02:16
So wake up is when you go from sleeping to being awake.
47
136584
4631
02:21
Get up means to actually physically get out of bed.
48
141216
3559
02:24
So I get up at 6:40am I get
49
144776
2569
02:27
up at 20 to 7 in the morning.
50
147346
3165
02:30
I usually get up at 6:40.
51
150512
2399
02:32
That's the point where I go from
52
152912
2055
02:34
laying down to sitting up, then standing.
53
154968
3547
02:39
I get out of bed at 6:40 is another way to say it.
54
159935
3280
02:43
Um, so I get up at 6:40, I get out of bed at 6:40.
55
163216
4647
02:47
Notice the pictures are not me.
56
167864
2711
02:50
So even though I'm describing my typical day,
57
170576
2479
02:53
I did, instead of taking photographs of myself,
58
173056
3359
02:56
I did find images to highlight it.
59
176416
2591
02:59
So again, you can take this sentence and if someone
60
179008
3103
03:02
said, oh, what time do you usually get up?
61
182112
2679
03:04
Could say, oh, I get up at 7.
62
184792
1654
03:06
I get up at 7 o'clock.
63
186447
2027
03:08
I get up at 7am Notice there's a
64
188475
2776
03:11
number of different ways to say that.
65
191252
2879
03:14
Or you could say I get out of bed at 7.
66
194132
2791
03:16
Uh, I use the bathroom.
67
196924
1343
03:18
I'm not going to go into detail about what happens
68
198268
2815
03:21
here, but generally the first thing I do when I
69
201084
2687
03:23
wake up is I usually use the bathroom.
70
203772
3263
03:27
You could say I go to the bathroom.
71
207036
2375
03:29
Um, if you want to be more descriptive,
72
209412
2247
03:31
you could say I take a pee.
73
211660
1995
03:34
One of the other things you do in the bathroom.
74
214215
2184
03:36
But this is not a lesson about describing
75
216400
3199
03:39
in detail what happens in the bathroom.
76
219600
2423
03:42
But generally after I get up,
77
222024
2551
03:44
I usually use the bathroom.
78
224576
2239
03:46
Uh, and then I wash my hands and I head downstairs.
79
226816
3191
03:50
So again, I go to the bathroom or I use the bathroom.
80
230008
4327
03:54
Then I make breakfast for me.
81
234336
1983
03:56
Usually when I make breakfast I make eggs and toast.
82
236320
4279
04:00
Has been my breakfast for a while.
83
240600
1699
04:02
Sometimes I make oatmeal instead of toast.
84
242300
2863
04:05
But usually in the morning you will see
85
245164
2319
04:07
me making breakfast right after I get up.
86
247484
3759
04:11
That is one of the first things that I do.
87
251244
3095
04:14
Um, you could say I cook breakfast, but it's
88
254340
3439
04:17
more common in English to say I make breakfast.
89
257780
3383
04:21
So I make breakfast every morning.
90
261164
3215
04:24
Um, sometimes Jen makes breakfast for me.
91
264380
2639
04:27
That's really, really nice.
92
267020
1327
04:28
But usually I get up, then I
93
268348
2081
04:30
make breakfast, I wake up quite hungry.
94
270430
2935
04:33
Uh, I eat breakfast around 7am
95
273366
3104
04:36
I eat breakfast around 7.
96
276471
2790
04:39
Both ways will work.
97
279262
2063
04:41
You could say I eat breakfast around 7 o'clock,
98
281326
3007
04:44
but we don't often say the o'clock part.
99
284334
3111
04:47
Well, we do, but it's not, I
100
287446
1823
04:49
think we're always in a hurry.
101
289270
1471
04:50
What time do you usually eat breakfast?
102
290742
1975
04:52
I usually eat breakfast at seven.
103
292718
2215
04:54
Um, so this is a pretty typical weekend breakfast.
104
294934
4069
04:59
Probably my breakfast during the week is
105
299004
1927
05:00
a little bit smaller than this.
106
300932
2039
05:02
Uh, she looks like she's having waffles and
107
302972
3127
05:06
strawberries and a cup of tea and bananas
108
306100
2775
05:08
and it looks pretty, pretty nice actually.
109
308876
3463
05:12
But for me it's usually just a fried egg
110
312340
3095
05:15
and something and some toast to go with it.
111
315436
4219
05:20
Uh, some of you might not do that.
112
320235
2528
05:22
Some of you might skip breakfast.
113
322764
1887
05:24
You might say to someone, oh, usually skip breakfast.
114
324652
3859
05:28
Or I usually just have a cup of
115
328512
2103
05:30
coffee or I have a cup of tea.
116
330616
2415
05:33
Sometimes in the morning I'M in a
117
333032
1567
05:34
hurry, and so I skip breakfast.
118
334600
2855
05:37
That means I don't make breakfast
119
337456
1839
05:39
and I don't eat breakfast.
120
339296
1607
05:40
Uh, and instead I just go straight to work.
121
340904
3463
05:44
Sometimes I'm a little rushed in
122
344368
1711
05:46
the morning, but some people do.
123
346080
2367
05:48
Um, if they don't eat breakfast, they might still
124
348448
3439
05:51
have cup of tea or a cup of coffee.
125
351888
4387
05:56
That sounds really good.
126
356276
1183
05:57
Actually, a cup of coffee.
127
357460
1599
05:59
Um, I don't drink coffee, but that sounds really good.
128
359060
3079
06:02
This morning.
129
362140
795
06:04
Then I have a shower.
130
364075
1280
06:05
So in order to get ready for work, I have a shower.
131
365356
3071
06:08
Um, you can say I take a shower.
132
368428
2367
06:10
There are two ways to say it, but basically,
133
370796
2655
06:13
I think you guys know what a shower is.
134
373452
2543
06:15
I don't take a bath.
135
375996
1975
06:17
I find a shower is much quicker.
136
377972
2559
06:20
Um, sometimes in the summer, after a long day's work on
137
380532
3569
06:24
the farm, I will take a bath or have a bath
138
384102
3287
06:27
because it's just nice to sit in warm water.
139
387390
2727
06:30
But for me, I usually have a
140
390118
2783
06:32
shower or I usually take a shower.
141
392902
2607
06:35
I use shampoo on my hair, I use soap on my body, and I
142
395510
4511
06:40
make sure I'm nice and clean so that I can go to work.
143
400022
3679
06:43
So I have a shower after breakfast,
144
403702
2683
06:47
and then I get dressed for work.
145
407145
1736
06:48
If you are in school, you would
146
408882
1623
06:50
say, I get dressed for school.
147
410506
2047
06:52
Um, in English, when you say you get dressed,
148
412554
2367
06:54
it means you put on underwear and socks.
149
414922
1895
06:56
And, um, I also put on deodorant in the morning.
150
416818
3519
07:00
So I put deodorant on so that
151
420338
1687
07:02
I smell nice during the day.
152
422026
2703
07:04
Uh, and then I put on a shirt and I button up my shirt.
153
424730
2991
07:07
I put on my pants.
154
427722
1303
07:09
I put on my belt, and I do up my belt.
155
429026
3269
07:12
I put some.
156
432296
1099
07:14
Did I put socks on already in this little story?
157
434055
2352
07:16
I put socks on, and then I'm ready to go to work.
158
436408
3671
07:20
I don't usually wear a tie, but
159
440080
2983
07:23
I definitely wear a shirt like this.
160
443064
2175
07:25
Like, this would be a typical work shirt for me.
161
445240
4235
07:30
Then I make my lunch.
162
450575
1896
07:32
Some people make their lunch
163
452472
2055
07:34
right after they make breakfast.
164
454528
2383
07:36
Some people make lunch after they have a shower
165
456912
3087
07:40
and get ready to leave for work or school.
166
460000
2695
07:42
Uh, that's what I do.
167
462696
1295
07:43
Usually I get.
168
463992
1443
07:45
I have a shower, I get dressed,
169
465436
2447
07:47
and then I make my lunch.
170
467884
1751
07:49
I don't buy a lunch at work.
171
469636
2615
07:52
I don't go out for lunch every day.
172
472252
2095
07:54
Usually I make my lunch in the
173
474348
1903
07:56
morning, and it's usually similar to this.
174
476252
2223
07:58
It might be a sandwich, a banana, it might
175
478476
3319
08:01
be a granola bar or a protein bar.
176
481796
2735
08:04
But this is one of the last things I do in the morning.
177
484532
3343
08:07
I make my lunch, then I put on my shoes.
178
487876
5111
08:12
Um, I could say I put on my shoes and
179
492988
2951
08:15
then I tie my shoes, but that's too much detail.
180
495940
3295
08:19
Um, but on my way to the car, I have to put shoes on.
181
499236
3943
08:23
So I put on my shoes, I lace up my shoes,
182
503180
3735
08:26
and then I grab my lunch, wallet, phone and keys.
183
506916
4583
08:31
I also make sure I have my Fitbit on and
184
511500
2831
08:34
my ring, and then leave for work around 8am you
185
514332
4548
08:38
could also say I head out the door at 8am
186
518881
3463
08:42
But I feel like I'm going a little fast here.
187
522345
1766
08:44
Let's back up.
188
524112
1128
08:45
I grab my lunch, wallet, phone and keys.
189
525241
2999
08:48
So in order to go to work, I need my wallet.
190
528241
2815
08:51
I have to have my driver's license with me.
191
531057
2831
08:53
I need my keys to start my vehicle.
192
533889
2367
08:56
I need my lunch so I can eat.
193
536257
1607
08:57
And I need my phone because
194
537865
1927
08:59
everyone needs their phone, right?
195
539793
2183
09:01
It's an important thing to have
196
541977
1879
09:03
with you each and every day.
197
543857
2151
09:06
So this is what I do on my way out the door.
198
546009
3994
09:10
That's the English phrase we would use.
199
550004
2527
09:12
On my way out the door, I grab my
200
552532
2439
09:14
lunch, my wallet, my phone and my keys.
201
554972
3407
09:18
Um, and I usually make sure I have my
202
558380
1751
09:20
wedding ring on and my Fitbit as well.
203
560132
3031
09:23
And then again, I leave for work around 8am when you
204
563164
4351
09:27
use the word around, it means it's not a precise time.
205
567516
3855
09:31
So I leave for work around 8am or I head
206
571372
3012
09:34
out the door at 8am so again, you can take
207
574385
4468
09:38
these sentences, all of them, and just change the times.
208
578854
3487
09:42
And if you're making notes with this lesson, you'll
209
582342
3119
09:45
have a nice description of your typical day.
210
585462
3295
09:48
It takes me 15 minutes to go get to work.
211
588758
3440
09:52
I have a 15 minute commute.
212
592199
2590
09:54
So when I leave for work, there's a certain amount
213
594790
3153
09:57
of time it takes me to get to work.
214
597944
2335
10:00
This is how I would describe it.
215
600280
2095
10:02
I would say it takes me 50 minutes to get to work.
216
602376
3887
10:06
A common question might be, hey, how long
217
606264
1879
10:08
does it take you to get to work?
218
608144
1071
10:09
Oh, it takes me 15 minutes to get to work.
219
609216
2655
10:11
Um, you could also then say I have a 15 minute commute.
220
611872
3967
10:15
This is the word we use to describe
221
615840
3167
10:19
how long it takes you to get to
222
619008
2103
10:21
work after you leave your house or apartment.
223
621112
3295
10:24
So for me, this actually is slightly off.
224
624408
3931
10:28
It takes me 11 minutes to get to work.
225
628340
2629
10:30
I have an 11 minute commute.
226
630970
2129
10:33
It's really nice. Every day.
227
633100
1615
10:34
My phone says no traffic. 11 minutes. Drive.
228
634716
3705
10:38
Your drive home will be 11 minutes long.
229
638422
3163
10:41
Uh, I get to work at 8:15.
230
641586
2889
10:44
So again, with time, I could say I
231
644476
2895
10:47
get to work at quarter after eight.
232
647372
1743
10:49
I get to work at 8:15, get to work at
233
649116
3612
10:52
8:15am I get to work at quarter after eight.
234
652729
3110
10:55
I said that one already, didn't I?
235
655840
1795
10:58
There are a number of ways to say it.
236
658175
1728
10:59
I could just say, oh, I get
237
659904
1167
11:01
to work a little bit after 8.
238
661072
1562
11:02
Although it is usually closer to 8:15 or 8:20.
239
662635
4283
11:06
So I could say I arrive at work at 8:15.
240
666919
4864
11:11
But that sounds kind of formal.
241
671784
2551
11:14
Most people would say, I get to work 8:15.
242
674336
2885
11:17
Usually I get to work at 8:15.
243
677222
2753
11:21
I prepare for my day.
244
681315
1424
11:22
Now, here is where the lesson will change slightly.
245
682740
3327
11:26
I'm going to describe my day.
246
686068
2263
11:28
Your day might be very different.
247
688332
2543
11:30
After you get to work, you
248
690876
1263
11:32
might usually have a meeting.
249
692140
1519
11:33
You might go and do what I do and prepare for your day.
250
693660
3967
11:37
You might start working on something immediately.
251
697628
2855
11:40
Maybe you're at a factory.
252
700484
2127
11:42
You start putting things in boxes on an assembly line.
253
702612
3397
11:46
For me, though, after I arrive at
254
706010
2431
11:48
work, I usually prepare for my day.
255
708442
2255
11:50
I check over my notes, I make sure
256
710698
2255
11:52
I remember what I was planning to do.
257
712954
3223
11:56
Um, I usually go to my teacher desk and I prepare
258
716178
3223
11:59
for my day, um, mentally and by actually doing things.
259
719402
5183
12:04
I might photocopy something as well.
260
724586
2759
12:07
Uh, you might meet with your boss.
261
727346
2657
12:10
I don't meet with my boss every day, but I quite often
262
730004
4343
12:14
will meet with my boss one or two days a week.
263
734348
2935
12:17
I might have a quick question because I'm part time.
264
737284
4183
12:21
There might have been an announcement for employees after I
265
741468
3167
12:24
left, and then my boss might come and say, hey,
266
744636
2247
12:26
can I just meet with you for a sec?
267
746884
1735
12:28
There's a new way to do something. So.
268
748620
3031
12:31
But this might be pretty standard for you.
269
751652
2455
12:34
You might meet with your manager, you might meet with your
270
754108
2639
12:36
boss, you might meet with your shift supervisor and they might
271
756748
5337
12:42
tell you what you need to do that day.
272
762086
2439
12:44
Uh, I chat with my colleagues.
273
764526
2359
12:46
As a teacher, sitting and talking
274
766886
3079
12:49
with other teachers is considered work.
275
769966
2327
12:52
I know where you work.
276
772294
1527
12:53
It might be considered being lazy, but
277
773822
2431
12:56
teachers are often encouraged to talk to
278
776254
2879
12:59
each other when they're not teaching.
279
779134
2495
13:01
So we don't sit around drinking coffee all day.
280
781630
3551
13:05
But sometimes it's nice just to sit.
281
785182
2535
13:07
Just to sit and chat with my colleagues.
282
787718
2759
13:10
When teachers talk.
283
790478
1567
13:12
I don't think Brent's here now.
284
792046
1543
13:13
When teachers talk, they often talk about school and
285
793590
3927
13:17
teaching and what works and what doesn't work.
286
797518
2839
13:20
So it's always very effective to have that.
287
800358
2967
13:23
So usually for about 10 minutes in my morning, after
288
803326
4487
13:27
I prepare for the day, I usually sit and chat
289
807814
2359
13:30
with my colleagues for a bit before we go.
290
810174
3341
13:33
And then I teach my first class for you.
291
813516
2791
13:36
You might say, I work my first shift.
292
816308
3303
13:39
Well, not shift, you might say I work trying
293
819612
2999
13:42
to think if you're at a factory because you
294
822612
1703
13:44
work from maybe from 7 till 10, right?
295
824316
3119
13:47
So you, you work the first, you, you get
296
827436
3687
13:51
to work there, let's put it that way.
297
831124
1927
13:53
For me, usually I teach my first class.
298
833052
3143
13:56
I take a break at 10:20.
299
836196
2927
13:59
We kind of have a unique schedule at school
300
839124
2533
14:01
where there's a small five minute break at 10:20.
301
841658
2584
14:04
So I take a break at 10:20.
302
844243
3206
14:07
Uh, I might use the bathroom, I
303
847450
2079
14:09
might get a cup of water.
304
849530
1951
14:11
Um, some teachers will grab a cup of
305
851482
2463
14:13
coffee during the little five minute break.
306
853946
2351
14:16
But it's classes are about 72 minutes long and then there's
307
856298
4223
14:20
a small break and then the next class will start.
308
860522
2159
14:22
I teach my second class.
309
862682
1879
14:24
Um, and that class.
310
864562
1761
14:26
Oh, some of you might be curious.
311
866324
1663
14:27
My first class, my first class is business.
312
867988
4983
14:32
My second class right now is computer programming.
313
872972
3263
14:36
So that is my typical morning.
314
876236
2499
14:39
Um, I have lunch around 11:45am I know this might
315
879315
4664
14:43
sound early to you, but because of how the school
316
883980
3399
14:47
day goes, that's when I have my lunch might say,
317
887380
3407
14:50
oh, I have my lunch at 12:30.
318
890788
1521
14:52
I have my lunch at 11.
319
892310
2197
14:54
You can also just say eat.
320
894508
2271
14:56
So usually I eat my lunch at 11:45.
321
896780
3143
14:59
Both sentences would be perfect.
322
899924
2247
15:02
So again, you can take these sentences
323
902172
1999
15:04
and modify them however you need to.
324
904172
3423
15:07
You could say to someone, oh, usually
325
907596
2119
15:09
I have my lunch at 1:00.
326
909716
1895
15:11
Um, usually I skip lunch.
327
911612
2071
15:13
Or usually I go out lunch at 11:45.
328
913684
4773
15:18
Like I said, I don't go out for lunch.
329
918458
2559
15:21
I bring a lunch to school.
330
921018
1351
15:22
But maybe you go out for lunch.
331
922370
2615
15:24
Um, I eat in the staff room with my co workers.
332
924986
3979
15:29
You could change this sentence in
333
929545
1896
15:31
a number of different ways.
334
931442
1335
15:32
You could say I eat by myself at the park, or
335
932778
3167
15:35
I meet a friend at the park for lunch every day.
336
935946
2983
15:38
You could say I eat in the, in the break room.
337
938930
5533
15:44
I was trying to think of the word A staff
338
944464
2335
15:46
room is the, that's the name of a place where
339
946800
3559
15:50
teachers go in a school at your work.
340
950360
2743
15:53
It might be called the break room.
341
953104
1895
15:55
So again, this sentence you might have
342
955000
1719
15:56
to change a little bit differently.
343
956720
1463
15:58
So again, here's some examples.
344
958184
2047
16:00
I eat by myself at the park.
345
960232
2815
16:03
I meet a friend for lunch every day at the park.
346
963048
3439
16:06
Um, I eat in the break room with my co workers.
347
966488
3055
16:09
Those are a number of
348
969544
1243
16:10
different examples to describe that.
349
970788
2347
16:14
Um, and then I plan for the next day until about 2ish.
350
974755
4864
16:19
So I wanted to add this.
351
979620
2239
16:21
Here we have some imprecise ways of
352
981860
3063
16:24
talking about time And I should have
353
984924
1927
16:26
mentioned this in my lesson this week.
354
986852
2143
16:28
Ish means around.
355
988996
2219
16:31
So I only need to stay at work till about 1:30,
356
991875
3870
16:35
1:45, work part time, so I'm allowed to go home.
357
995746
4597
16:40
But I usually work till about 2ish.
358
1000344
2299
16:42
I plan for the next day until about 2ish.
359
1002644
3305
16:45
So that means maybe 5 to 2, maybe
360
1005950
2938
16:48
5 after 2, maybe 10 to 2.
361
1008889
2670
16:51
So ish just means it's an imprecise description.
362
1011560
4447
16:56
Um, and usually what I do is I plan for the next day.
363
1016008
4591
17:00
I grade some student work.
364
1020600
1655
17:02
I do what a teacher would normally do when they
365
1022256
2775
17:05
aren't teaching at my teacher workstation, by the way, I
366
1025032
4839
17:09
have a desk in the classroom where I teach, but
367
1029872
2839
17:12
I also have a desk in a quiet area in
368
1032712
3399
17:16
a teacher work room, so I usually work there.
369
1036112
2963
17:20
I finish work at 2.
370
1040494
1457
17:21
I don't throw all my papers in the air to
371
1041952
2431
17:24
celebrate, but I think maybe I should start doing this.
372
1044384
3295
17:27
But at 2 o'clock my work day is done.
373
1047680
3607
17:31
Again, that might sound early to some of you, but this
374
1051288
4483
17:35
is only my workday at my job, my day job.
375
1055772
5583
17:41
By day I'm a teacher, and then by
376
1061356
2559
17:43
night or by afternoon I'm a YouTuber.
377
1063916
2761
17:46
So I finish my formal workday at 2:00.
378
1066678
3709
17:50
You might change this and say, I usually finish
379
1070388
2447
17:52
work at five, I usually finish work at six,
380
1072836
3063
17:55
I usually finish work at four o'clock.
381
1075900
2271
17:58
So obviously we all have different times.
382
1078172
2433
18:01
I head home around 2:05.
383
1081385
2704
18:04
So the time when you are done work
384
1084090
3087
18:07
isn't the same as when you leave.
385
1087178
1959
18:09
Like I finish work at 2, but then I get my bag and my
386
1089138
3887
18:13
jacket and I walk to my car and I head home around 2:05.
387
1093026

18:19
It's quite common for someone to say,
388
1099146
2539
18:22
hey, can I meet you after work?
389
1102585
1816
18:24
And you might say, yeah, why don't
390
1104402
2637
18:27
I meet you around 2 or 5?
391
1107040
1255
18:28
I'm going to be heading home.
392
1108296
1591
18:29
Instead of going straight home, I'll
393
1109888
2023
18:31
meet you at the coffee shop.
394
1111912
1703
18:33
So the phrase to head home kind of
395
1113616
3359
18:36
mirrors the phrase, where is that one?
396
1116976
3295
18:40
I'm looking at my thing.
397
1120272
1343
18:41
I head out the door at 8am I head home around 2:05.
398
1121616
4895
18:46
So I'm not sure if you were familiar with that phrase.
399
1126512
4239
18:50
Trying to see here where I am
400
1130752
1655
18:52
on the doing great by the way.
401
1132408
2267
18:55
Okay, so then when I get home,
402
1135495
2368
18:57
I work on YouTube until 5:30.
403
1137864
2415
19:00
I reply to comments, I write lessons,
404
1140280
2559
19:02
I go shoot video, I edit video.
405
1142840
3247
19:06
Whatever needs to be done that
406
1146088
1727
19:07
day happens in that time slot.
407
1147816
2511
19:10
So from about 2:15, 2:30 until
408
1150328
2987
19:13
about 5:30, I'm working on YouTube.
409
1153316
3851
19:17
Sometimes I work on it a little bit more after supper.
410
1157168
3247
19:20
Generally I arrive home, I work on YouTube until 5:30pm you
411
1160416
6377
19:26
might say something like this, like I head to my second
412
1166794
4927
19:31
job at 2:00 and then I get to my second job
413
1171722
4153
19:35
at 2:30 and then I work there until 6:00.
414
1175876
3517
19:39
Some of you might have two jobs.
415
1179394
2143
19:41
Um, some of you, when you're done work, you
416
1181538
2103
19:43
might head to your mom's house or you might
417
1183642
2495
19:46
head to visit, head out to visit someone.
418
1186138
2913
19:49
So different things can happen.
419
1189052
2423
19:51
This is definitely the part of the lesson where it's a
420
1191476
4063
19:55
little more specific to me than it is to you.
421
1195540
4195
20:00
And then I make supper at 5:30pm so again,
422
1200275
4648
20:04
I work for most of the afternoon and Then
423
1204924
2583
20:07
sometime around 5 I usually start to get hungry.
424
1207508
3783
20:11
So I make supper at 5:30pm and then
425
1211292
4171
20:15
Jen and I take turns making supper.
426
1215464
3191
20:18
So we don't often say like.
427
1218656
3135
20:21
You can use the verb cook.
428
1221792
1671
20:23
Like I cook supper at 5:30, but make
429
1223464
3167
20:26
is a more general way of describing it.
430
1226632
2503
20:29
You just say that way, whether you're making
431
1229136
3039
20:32
sandwiches or cooking something or just eating some
432
1232176
2967
20:35
food out of the fridge that you like.
433
1235144
1887
20:37
Maybe you make a salad.
434
1237032
1119
20:38
Make is a better verb.
435
1238152
1415
20:39
So I make supper at 5:30pm um, although at this time
436
1239568
4163
20:43
of year it's Jen makes supper more often than I do.
437
1243732
4031
20:47
So Jen and I take turns making supper.
438
1247764
2559
20:50
In the summer, when Jen is really busy
439
1250324
2799
20:53
on the flower farm, I usually make supper.
440
1253124
3295
20:56
This time of year when Jen is
441
1256420
1695
20:58
less busy, she usually makes supper.
442
1258116
1903
21:00
So we take turns during the week, but we
443
1260020
2375
21:02
also take turns at different parts of the year.
444
1262396
5929
21:08
We eat supper around 6:00pm we eat supper around 6:00.
445
1268326
4943
21:13
Um, it does take a while to make supper, so you
446
1273270
3695
21:16
can't necessarily eat at the same time you make supper.
447
1276966
2871
21:19
So we usually eat supper around 6pm
448
1279838
3333
21:23
Sometimes we eat supper at 5:30.
449
1283172
3177
21:26
We do sit down as a family and
450
1286350
2271
21:28
eat together as often as we can.
451
1288622
3071
21:31
Sometimes we're too busy.
452
1291694
2047
21:33
If we're really busy, sometimes everyone might
453
1293742
3065
21:36
just grab supper on their own.
454
1296808
2519
21:39
Notice I use the verb to grab.
455
1299328
2311
21:41
So on a really busy day, I might
456
1301640
2399
21:44
come home from work, work till five.
457
1304040
2615
21:46
Jen's still in the field.
458
1306656
1671
21:48
I might just grab supper quickly.
459
1308328
1967
21:50
I might just heat something up and eat quickly.
460
1310296
2839
21:53
And then when the kids come
461
1313136
1247
21:54
home, they will do the same.
462
1314384
2111
21:56
But we usually eat supper around
463
1316496
2463
21:58
6pm Again using the word usually.
464
1318960
2915
22:03
Then there are a few things that I might do.
465
1323455
3552
22:07
These aren't things that I do every day,
466
1327008
2503
22:09
but I might go for a walk.
467
1329512
2191
22:11
I might watch YouTube.
468
1331704
2023
22:13
I might read a book, I might watch some TV.
469
1333728
5107
22:19
Yes, those are the things that I'm most likely to
470
1339495
3400
22:22
do sometimes I now shoot my bow and arrow.
471
1342896
2583
22:25
I did that yesterday. That was nice.
472
1345480
2079
22:27
Um, I have to buy some more lights though because
473
1347560
2223
22:29
the area where I do that in the barn isn't
474
1349784
2951
22:32
bright and it gets dark out here earlier.
475
1352736
2467
22:35
But you might have other things.
476
1355204
1479
22:36
You might go to the park, you might walk
477
1356684
2063
22:38
your dog, you might visit friends or family.
478
1358748
5951
22:44
There are a number of things
479
1364700
1295
22:45
that people do after supper.
480
1365996
2359
22:48
Um, you could say I have a nap.
481
1368356
2335
22:50
So you might sleep for a little bit.
482
1370692
1495
22:52
You could say I usually watch the
483
1372188
1967
22:54
news or I usually read the newspaper.
484
1374156
2863
22:57
Um, all of the things that we do in life,
485
1377020
2495
22:59
that we do to relax and enjoy the day.
486
1379516
3859
23:03
Um, I should say many, many of
487
1383376
3687
23:07
those things happen after supper for me.
488
1387064
2655
23:09
Um, so sometimes Jen and I will, we
489
1389720
4119
23:13
don't usually do errands late at night but
490
1393840
1711
23:15
we sometimes will do something like that.
491
1395552
1935
23:17
But for me I might go for a walk, I might watch
492
1397488
3199
23:20
YouTube, I might read a book, I might watch some TV.
493
1400688
4783
23:25
Uh, those are the things that are most likely happen.
494
1405472
3959
23:29
And then eventually I get ready for bed.
495
1409432
3423
23:32
So I usually get ready for bed at 9:30pm
496
1412856
4171
23:37
I usually get ready for bed at 9:30.
497
1417028
3683
23:40
Um, and by get ready for bed it would
498
1420712
2159
23:42
be all the normal things you would do.
499
1422872
2243
23:45
I use the bathroom, I brush my teeth.
500
1425655
3016
23:48
Um, what else do I do when I'm getting ready for bed?
501
1428672
3823
23:52
That's really about it.
502
1432496
1439
23:53
Um, oh, I'm old so I take my pills.
503
1433936
3259
23:57
I'm on a couple of different medications for heart, so and I
504
1437735
4244
24:01
usually have a glass of water before I go to bed.
505
1441980
2591
24:04
Um, I've, I probably should stop doing that.
506
1444572
2583
24:07
Maybe that's why I get up in the
507
1447156
2263
24:09
middle of the night to use the bathroom.
508
1449420
1943
24:11
I should think about that one.
509
1451364
1191
24:12
But anyways, I get ready for bed at 9:30 and then I
510
1452556
4401
24:16
go to bed at 10pm Or I crawl into bed at 10pm
511
1456958
5029
24:21
Again crawl into bed we usually use when we're really tired.
512
1461988
3831
24:25
Like, oh, was so tired last night I didn't
513
1465820
3243
24:29
crawl into bed until 11pm and again crawling is
514
1469064
3695
24:32
when you're using your hands and your feet to
515
1472760
3279
24:36
kind of crawl along the floor.
516
1476040
1767
24:37
Um, but yes, normally I go to bed at 10:00pm Uh, I crawl
517
1477808
4151
24:41
into bed at 10:00pm and then I set my alarm for 6:30.
518
1481960
5080
24:47
I couldn't find a picture of 6:30, but I set my
519
1487041
4658
24:51
alarm for 6 30am and then I fall asleep around 10:15.
520
1491700
4615
24:56
It's actually sooner than that for some reason
521
1496975
3232
25:00
I can fall asleep in a split second.
522
1500208
2751
25:02
So usually I, I go to bed at 10pm,
523
1502960
3559
25:06
I set my alarm, I close my eyes and
524
1506520
2599
25:09
I'm asleep within a minute or two, I am.
525
1509120
2215
25:11
I very quickly fall asleep at night.
526
1511336
3287
25:14
Um, and then of course, that's the end of my day.
527
1514624
2967
25:17
That's it.
528
1517592
903
25:18
Except for what I mentioned earlier, I do get
529
1518496
3167
25:21
up the middle of the night once to go
530
1521664
2985
25:24
to the washroom pretty much every night.
531
1524650
2967
25:27
Um, by the way, if you're not as old
532
1527618
2023
25:29
as me, it will happen to you as well.
533
1529642
1991
25:31
Eventually, when you're in your 40s and 50s,
534
1531634
2331
25:34
suddenly you have to start to get up
535
1534545
2936
25:37
to go to the bathroom at night.
536
1537482
1207
25:38
But anyways, this lesson's going
537
1538690
1375
25:40
downhill now, isn't it?
538
1540066
1159
25:41
So I think this is the last slide.
539
1541226
1839
25:43
So the last thing I do is I fall asleep at 10:15, SA.
540
