LEARN ENGLISH DAILY ROUTINES (5-DAY ROUTINE)

Day number one.

All right.

Day number one of our five day English routine is going to be Monday.

And it is the who we're using the five W's and for day number one, you want to

focus on the people you interacted with.

Let me explain this a little bit more.

Again, the people you interacted with.

Think of three people you interacted with or saw online and describe them.

Make sure you give a detailed description of their appearance, their

character, and their influence on you.

Remember we're speaking about the first part of your five day routine

to help you speak English fluently.

The first thing you want to do is think about people.

So let's break it down just a bit more.

I want you to think about it like this.

Imagine today, imagine that you interacted with your husband.

Then you interacted with your boss.

Next you interacted with the cashier at the grocery store.

Now, remember, what are we talking about?

Specifically focusing on the people you interacted with three individuals that

you interacted with, for example, your husband, your boss, and the cashier.

And what you're going to do is you're going to.

Speak about these individuals.

You're going to write about these individuals.

You're going to think in English about these individuals.

We're talking about a five day routine that will help you start

speaking English more fluently.

So we have on Monday, these three individuals think about.

What they look like, their appearance, think about what they said.

Their words and think about how they made you feel.

This is what you are going to do on Monday, right?

You're feeling, how did these individuals make you feel when you spoke with them?

Now, why is this such a good routine for day number one?

Let's check out the three reasons.

Here's reason number one.

Describing people helps build essential vocabulary related to physical appearance.

Personality traits and personal characteristics.

Once again, physical appearance, personality traits, and

personal characteristics.

The second reason why this is such a good thing to do is it improves your

observational skills and your attention to detail, which are crucial for For

effective communication in English.

I mentioned a few moments ago, let's say you were thinking about the cashier.

Well, now you have to really go back and think about, Hey, what

was the cashier actually wearing?

You're going to describe his or her appearance.

You're focused on the details and this will actually help

you improve your English.

Day number one, your routine number three.

The reason is it also helps you by practicing descriptions.

You will enhance the ability you have to form complex sentences and

use various grammatical structures.

As you're thinking about the cashier or your husband or your boss, you're going

to figure out ways of describing these individuals that's going to cause you

to use the grammar rules you've learned to use the expressions you've learned.

So again, focus on.

On day one, the first part of this five day routine is once again, you need to

focus on the people you interacted with.

And we're focusing on the first W, which is the who now, before we get to day

number two of our routine, my name is Tiffani also known as teacher Tiffani.

And my goal is to help you.

Speak English with confidence.

This lesson going over five day routine will help you more

than, you know, are you ready?

Well, then I'm teacher Tiffani.

Let's jump right in today.

Number two day, number two of this five day routine.

I want you to use the W the what to focus on the things you did.

This is going to help you in so many.

Ways.

So what you're going to do is you're going to focus on what you did.

What does this mean?

You're going to think of three things you did throughout the day and describe them.

Make sure you give a detailed description of the actions.

So I want you to literally think about what you did throughout your day.

For example, let's say.

You enjoy actually meeting up with your friends.

So let's say first thing you met your friends, right?

You met your friends.

Maybe you met them at a cafe.

All right.

You met your friends and maybe you also had to give.

Uh, presentation.

All right.

So you gave a presentation and then finally, maybe you promised your kids

that they would have pizza for dinner.

So maybe you purchased a pizza.

Remember this routine is all about picking three things you did that day.

We're on day two of our five day routine to improve your English.

Focus on the things you did speak about them or write about them.

Three things you did.

And I wrote down again.

Met with friends, gave a presentation, and also purchased a pizza.

Now, why is this such a good routine?

Here's the first reason why this is so important.

Describing actions in detail enhances your ability to create

more vivid and engaging narratives.

A key skill in both spoken.

And written English.

Remember I mentioned earlier, the importance of giving details.

So let's go back to our example.

I mentioned meeting with friends, giving a presentation and pizza.

So if we were to focus on the pizza, what would happen?

You could start describing what you put.

On your pizza, what do you like to eat on your pizza?

Maybe you say, Oh man, I love olives on my pizza.

Or maybe you say, Oh, I love onions on my pizza.

Or maybe you even like pineapples.

Some people enjoy.

Pineapples on their pizza.

You're starting to describe what you put on your pizza.

This is again, enhancing your ability to give details in English.

Day two, this routine is all about focusing on the things you did.

Here's the second reason why this routine is so powerful.

This exercise.

Promotes the use of sequencing words and transitional phrases, improving the flow

and coherence of speech and writing.

Now you may ask yourself, Hey, what does this actually mean?

I want us to go again, back to our example.

Meeting your friends.

So let's say, which one did we do first?

Let's say you met your friends first.

So I met my friends at 10 AM.

Then.

The transitional phrase, transitional word.

Then I gave a presentation after I gave the presentation, I purchased a pizza.

So after I gave the presentation, I purchased a pizza.

We're seeing this sequence of events, met my friends, maybe for breakfast,

gave a presentation, then I actually purchased a pizza for my children.

When you follow the second day, this routine of focusing on what

you did, you'll also improve your ability to use transitional phrases.

And the third reason why this is such a powerful routine is regular practice

in describing actions will help you think more directly in English.

Reducing the need for mental translation from your native language.

This is something that is very important.

So how can we apply this to our example?

All right.

Again, describing your actions.

We talked about meeting friends.

We talked about giving a presentation.

We talked about purchasing pizza, but we didn't give any specific details yet.

But the moment you start thinking about, ah, my friends, maybe you'll

start telling us about, Hey, my friends, we met back in college.

We've been friends for over 20 or 30 years.

Then your presentation, whew, it took a long time to prepare, but it went well.

You're going to naturally start giving more details, just like we gave details

about the pizza a few moments ago.

This is why it's so important to follow the second day, day

two of our five day routine.

So we have who day one, that routine.

Day two, what now we have day number three, day number three is Wednesday.

And on day number three, we're focusing on when this W meaning

focusing on specific times of the day.

This part of the routine will help you as well, improve your English.

So let's break this down.

Think of three specific times of the day and describe them.

Make sure you give a detailed description of the weather, the sounds you heard,

and also any emotions you felt.

Once again, the weather, the sounds and your emotions.

So let's write this down.

All right.

We have the weather, the sounds.

And your emotions.

All right.

We're talking about specific periods or times of the day.

So let's say I want to talk about the morning specifically 9 30 AM.

Now, what happened at 9 30 AM at 9 30 AM, I had a meeting with my My employee,

all right, meeting with my employee.

My employee.

All right.

I'm describing right.

What happened at that time?

I'm speaking specifically about 9 30 AM.

I chose it because I had a meeting, but remember, we're

going to talk about the weather.

Well, at 9 30 AM this morning, it was actually raining outside.

So I can say it was raining at 9 30.

Then the sounds, ah, the sounds at 9 30 AM.

Well, there were lots of sounds.

Of birds singing at 9:00 AM So birds chirping.

And what about my emotions at 9:30 AM I was actually very excited.

Why?

Because I was giving my employee a bonus for the work she did.

So again.

We're talking about this part of our routine, day three of our routine.

And we're saying, we're going to focus on specific times of the day.

I mentioned 9 30 AM and already I was able to speak about many things related

to that specific time of the day.

This is why this routine is so powerful for day.

Number three, we're talking about when.

Three specific times of the day.

I just chose one.

We have one right here, but you can choose three specific times of the day.

Talk about the weather, the sounds and your emotions, how you feel.

Felt now, why is this so powerful?

Here we go.

Reason number one, focusing on specific times encourages you to pay attention

to details in your environment, which can lead to more nuanced and

engaging conversations in English.

I love it.

You're already smart enough, your English, you know, so much English already.

You've read tons of books.

You've attended multiple courses, amazing courses, and you've watched

many English teachers online.

You have a lot of information inside.

It just needs to come out.

And by following this routine, you will be able to pull all of the information out.

Remember it says it can lead to more nuanced and engaging

conversations in English.

Imagine this.

Someone asked me, Hey, Tiff, how has your day been so far?

And I said, Oh, you know what?

At nine 30, this morning, I had a meeting with my employee.

It was kind of raining outside, but it still was a great, great morning.

They said, Oh, it was raining today.

So yeah, it was raining, but wouldn't, you know, the birds were still chirping.

And I really felt good as I was hearing them chirp and also talking to my

employee, it will naturally lead to, wow.

The birds were chirping, even in the midst of the rain.

Where do you live?

It will lead to a more engaging conversation.

This is why this part of the routine is so important.

Reason number two, describing emotions associated with different times of

day will help you express yourself more effectively and more freely.

And connect with others on a deeper level in English.

Why think about it.

I was talking about a meeting I had with my employee, but

I said that I was excited.

I wasn't overwhelmed.

I wasn't frustrated.

I was excited.

So I'm expressing a different emotion.

And I'm also acknowledging at that time of day, this is how I felt.

So maybe the person that I'm speaking with will say, you know, what made me excited

yesterday, and it will lead to a more, a deeper conversation, a conversation

that will continue on for a while.

And reason number three, this practice enhances your ability to create

vivid mental images of yourself.

Through language, an important skill for storytelling and

descriptive writing in English.

Think about it.

When someone says, I had a meeting today, the meeting was with my employee.

And during the meeting, it actually started raining outside.

Right?

So of course they can imagine you sitting there, possibly at your computer,

having a meeting with your employee.

Maybe you are using zoom to talk to your employee.

But the more you describe the situation, right, the more you say, ah, but outside,

I actually was able to hear the rain falling and hitting against my windowsill.

And then I was also able to hear the birds singing outside.

All of a sudden, the person listening to you.

We'll start to imagine the situation.

Wow.

There were birds outside singing.

Wow.

And then, oh, Tiffani felt very excited during this meeting.

This is what will happen in the person's mind.

As you continue speaking with them, this is why it is so important for you

to practice focusing on this routine.

Once again, This routine, speaking about our five day routine, the third part is

focused on specific times of the day.

Now, day four of our routine day four, we're going to.

Focus on where you went, where you went.

Remember we're using the five W's to create this five day routine that

will help you improve your English.

So focus on where you went.

Think of you got it.

Three places you went to throughout the day and describe them.

Make sure you give a detailed description of what each place looked like and

how you felt while you were there.

So I want you to think about your day.

Think about the different places you went to.

And remember, we're selecting the places.

Three specific places you visited throughout the day.

Now, even if you stayed in your neighborhood, that's totally okay.

You can mention your house.

We're talking about the places you actually went to.

Maybe you actually went to the office today.

Talk about the office building you went to in order to get your work done.

And then maybe you stopped at a restaurant in order to get some food for your kids.

Again, you're talking about the places you went to today.

So why is this so important?

Why is this routine so important?

So helpful.

Here's the first reason describing places enhances vocabulary related to

locations, architecture, and environments, expanding your ability, the learner

to discuss diverse settings, right?

You're opening up your mind to think in different ways, to describe things

you didn't describe in the past.

The second reason this practice encourages the use of sensory language, helping

you to create more vivid and engaging descriptions in English, for example,

okay, you went to get your kids some food.

What did it look like?

Ah, there were some golden arches.

Okay.

It was like a gold color, right?

You're starting to describe it a bit more.

And maybe you can say, listen, when I pulled up, my stomach started growling.

I loved the aroma.

I could smell it a mile away as I pulled.

Um, it smelled so good again, sensory.

All right, let's continue.

Reason number three, regular practice in describing places helps you develop

your ability to give directions, a practical skill for real life

situations and travel scenarios.

Uh, yeah, it's right around the corner from the McDonald's, you

know, with the golden arches.

And then if you go two blocks down, you'll see the big company, the big building, it

helps you learn how to be more descriptive and don't forget the importance of saying

how you felt when you were actually there.

At these different places.

All right.

Your feelings when you were at these locations.

All right, let's continue now.

So that's routine day.

Number four, Thursday.

Now we're going to day number five, our routine.

Why the last W focus on the reasons why you enjoyed your day.

And we talked about this in the previous lesson.

You can watch that one.

After this video, here's what I need you to understand.

Think of three reasons why you enjoyed your day.

Make sure you give a detailed breakdown for each reason.

Think about your day.

Now I want us to go back, right?

We have four days that we've done so far day.

Number one, we talked about who we encountered day.

Number two, we talked about what we did day.

Number three, when the specific time of day, we did certain things

and day number four, where we went now, day number five, we're talking

about why we enjoyed our day.

Now, why did I show you those first four days?

Because you can actually use pieces of those routines.

Let's say I want to talk about.

Where I went as a fact that I enjoyed my day today.

Right.

So I'm going to mention this now again, for those watching, you see me

putting McDonald's, I actually don't eat McDonald's, but I know kids love

McDonald's and adults love McDonald's.

So no matter what country you live in, you can recognize those golden arches.

All right.

And then let's say, maybe I want to mention the meeting I had.

All right.

The meeting I had today and how that really.

Was one of my favorite parts of the day.

Okay.

So again, maybe I had another meeting and this meeting was

with five, four people, right?

Five, including me.

All right.

So what am I doing now?

I'm talking about why I enjoyed the meeting, why I enjoyed

getting the food for my kids.

Here's the reasons why this is such an important routine.

Reason number one, practicing giving reasons enhances critical thinking skills,

encouraging you to analyze and articulate your thoughts more effectively in English.

Here's the deal.

You have emotions, you have feelings, things happen throughout the day

and you might suppress or push those feelings down, but they're still there.

At the end of your day.

Figure out what those feelings are.

Describe them in English in detail.

Number two, this will help you develop more complex sentence structures

and advanced vocabulary as you need to express cause and effect

relationships and logical connections.

Remember I showed you earlier, I mentioned McDonald's the golden

arches, and I mentioned that meeting.

So I say, oh man, today.

Listen, I was elated or I was so satisfied.

What am I connecting those emotions to?

Well, I was satisfied because I was able to give my employees a bonus.

I was elated because I thought about the smiles that would be on my kids

faces when I gave them the food.

So I'm connecting logically and emotion to something that happened.

This will help you improve your English and your ability to think in English.

And reason number three.

Regularly explaining reasons improves overall coherence and organization

in both spoken and written English, leading to more persuasive and clear.

Communication.

My friend, I want you to be able to speak clearly.

I want you to be able to speak English with confidence.

I hope this five day routine helped you.

And I'll talk to you in the next lesson.

You still there, you know, what time it is.

It's story time.

Hey, I said, it's story time.

All right.

So the story for today is more of a lesson in communication, right?

During our lesson today, I taught you a five day routine that will

help you have better communication.

So I want to tell you something that happened to me with one of my friends,

one of my friends, and we've been friends for well over one T five, 26 years.

Okay.

And my friend and I, there was a period where we did not have the best time.

Communication.

It was a period of about two years and I want you to pay close attention.

My friend and I, due to miscommunication, we were basically estranged.

We didn't talk.

Um, I wanted to, and I'm sure she wanted to as well, but it just wasn't working out

and it was because of a misunderstanding.

I had one perspective and she had another perspective, but

the day came after two years.

When I said, I don't want to lose a friend, a friend

that I've had for so long.

We have to talk about this.

So my friend ended up coming to where I live, as far as the state that

I'm living in on the East coast, and we met, we had lunch together and

then we had the hard conversation.

There were tears and in the midst of our conversation, we both realized that That

the issue had been miscommunication.

She thought that I had done something for one reason.

And I thought that she had done something for one reason.

And literally, as we were sitting in the car talking and we both said, wait

a minute, that's what you thought.

And she said, that's what you thought.

I said, yeah.

So two years.

For two years, we weren't communicating because of a misunderstanding.

Now I'm not going into too much details because again, it's a private situation.

The thing I want to tell you though, is after we cleared the air, after

we were able to do away with the misunderstanding, we got closer

than we ever had been before.

I feel that our friendship is deeper than it had been, even though we had

already been friends for over a decade.

What does that tell us?

I don't know.

There is power in proper communication, not just as you're learning English

to properly communicate your thoughts, your ideas, and your opinions, but

even in your own language with your family members, with your friends, with

your coworkers, it's so important to properly communicate what you're feeling.

Properly communicate your ideas because when we, as human beings don't

communicate properly, it will end badly.

So my friend, I hope that today you choose to communicate properly.

I'll talk to you in the next lesson.
