Hi, Bob the Canadian here.
00:00:12
As you continue to learn English,
00:00:14
you want to be able to talk
about your daily routine.
00:00:17
In this English lesson, I
will invite you along with me
00:00:21
for part of my day so that
you can see my daily routine
00:00:25
and along the way, you'll be able
00:00:27
to learn how to talk
about your daily routine.
00:00:29
So in this video, we'll go
from the moment I wake up
00:00:32
until about the end of my work day.
00:00:35
This is part one of two videos
where you're going to learn
00:00:39
to talk about your daily routine.
00:00:42
(alarm beeping)
00:00:44
The very first thing I do every day
00:00:47
is I wake up and then I usually press
00:00:50
the snooze button on my alarm clock.
00:00:53
When you wake up, it means you go from
00:00:55
being asleep to being awake,
00:00:58
but when my alarm first goes off,
00:01:00
I usually wanna sleep
just a little bit more.
00:01:02
So I'm gonna do that right now.
00:01:05
(alarm beeping)
00:01:07
So the second thing I do
in the morning is I get up.
00:01:11
When you get up, it means
you actually get out of bed.
00:01:16
So I think it's time for me to get up.
00:01:19
The first thing I like
to do after I get up
00:01:22
is I like to make the bed.
00:01:24
It's always nice when
you have your bed made.
00:01:27
So after I get up and
after I make the bed,
00:01:30
I usually use the bathroom.
00:01:33
This room behind me is our bathroom
00:01:35
and in English you can
say this a number of ways.
00:01:38
You can say, "I use the bathroom,"
00:01:40
you can say, "I go to the bathroom,"
00:01:43
you can also in Canadian English
say, "I use the washroom,"
00:01:47
or, "I go to the washroom."
00:01:49
This is the one part of the lesson though
00:01:51
where I'm not taking the camera with me.
00:01:53
I'll be right back.
00:01:57
So the next thing I do
every day is make breakfast.
00:02:00
I usually fry two eggs in a frying pan,
00:02:04
I usually make myself two
pieces of toast in the toaster,
00:02:09
and I make myself a mug of coffee.
00:02:12
That is a pretty standard
Bob the Canadian breakfast.
00:02:16
So after I make breakfast,
I eat breakfast.
00:02:19
There's actually two ways to
say this, though, in English.
00:02:22
You can say, "I eat breakfast,"
00:02:24
but you can also say, "I have breakfast."
00:02:27
So I eat my egg on toast
00:02:29
and I drink my coffee
from my favorite mug.
00:02:32
This actually says, "Love
the World, Bob the Canadian."
00:02:36
This is from a friend
of mine named Miroslav.
00:02:37
Thanks again Miroslav for the mug.
00:02:40
But again, every day I eat
breakfast or I have breakfast.
00:02:45
The next thing I do is I use my computer
00:02:47
to check my email and to read the news.
00:02:50
I like to check my email every morning
00:02:53
and I like to read the news every morning.
00:02:55
I also spend a little bit of time
00:02:57
checking my social media accounts
00:03:00
like Facebook and Instagram and TikTok.
00:03:03
I probably spend a little
bit too much time doing that.
00:03:06
So this next part of my
day you are not invited to
00:03:09
because every day I take a shower.
00:03:12
There are two ways to say
this, though, in English.
00:03:15
You can say, "Every day I take a shower."
00:03:17
You can also say, "Every
day I have a shower."
00:03:21
I usually take a shower every
day before I go to work.
00:03:25
After my shower, I dry off with a towel
00:03:29
and then I put on some deodorant.
00:03:32
After that, I get dressed.
00:03:34
I decide what I'm going
to wear for the day
00:03:37
and then I get dressed and
I get ready to go to work.
00:03:41
After I get dressed, I
go back to the bathroom
00:03:44
and if I need to, I will shave,
00:03:46
but I don't actually shave every day.
00:03:48
But if it's a day where
I need to shave, I shave.
00:03:51
After that, I get some
toothpaste and my toothbrush
00:03:55
and I will brush my teeth.
00:03:57
So the next thing I do is
I come back to the kitchen
00:04:00
and I make a lunch.
00:04:01
I don't like to buy lunch every day.
00:04:03
I don't like to spend money.
00:04:05
So I usually make a sandwich
and I grab a banana,
00:04:09
and this will be my lunch for today.
00:04:10
So in English, we would say,
"Every day I make a lunch."
00:04:14
We can also, though, say,
"Every day I pack a lunch."
00:04:18
When you pack a lunch, it means that you
00:04:20
put your lunch in a nice
lunch bag like this one.
00:04:23
So every day I make a lunch,
and every day I pack a lunch.
00:04:28
The next thing I do every
day is I grab my things.
00:04:31
When I say I grab my things,
it means that I grab my keys,
00:04:36
I grab my phone, I grab my
wallet, I grab my laptop,
00:04:40
and I grab the lunch that I
made because I'm just about
00:04:43
ready to head out the door and go to work.
00:04:47
So the next thing I do in my
daily routine is I go to work.
00:04:51
Every day at about 7:30 Monday
through Friday, I go to work.
00:04:57
If you were someone who
was in school though,
00:04:59
you would say, "I go to school."
00:05:02
If you are someone who stays home,
00:05:04
at this point in your
routine you might stay home.
00:05:08
But for me, every day at
this time, I go to work.
00:05:12
One of the things I like
about my drive to work
00:05:14
is that there are no traffic jams, ever.
00:05:17
It takes me only 10 minutes to drive
00:05:19
from my house to the
school that I work at.
00:05:22
When I get to work, I take off my jacket
00:05:26
and I hang up my jacket,
00:05:30
and then I say hi to all the other
00:05:32
teachers in the staffroom.
00:05:34
Hi everybody.
00:05:35
Hi.
00:05:36
Hi, Bob.
00:05:38
I put my lunch in the fridge,
00:05:42
I teach my first class of the day,
00:05:44
which is grade nine French,
this is our textbook,
00:05:48
to a lot of students who are usually
00:05:50
very interested in
learning a new language.
00:05:53
(student snoring)
00:05:56
Every day after teaching my first class,
00:05:59
I go to my teacher work area
00:06:01
and I grade student work with my red pen
00:06:04
and I plan my lessons
for my next two classes.
00:06:08
After that it's lunch time,
00:06:10
so I eat my lunch and I
talk to the other teachers
00:06:14
who are in the staffroom
eating their lunch as well.
00:06:17
Hey, did you see that
hockey game the other night?
00:06:19
I know this doesn't sound very Canadian
00:06:22
but I don't actually watch hockey.
00:06:24
After lunch, I teach my
next class of the day,
00:06:27
which is computer class.
00:06:29
In computer class, I teach
students how to make video games.
00:06:32
It is a really, really fun class.
00:06:35
And then I teach my last class of the day,
00:06:37
which is grade 10 French.
00:06:39
This is our textbook.
00:06:41
(student snoring)
00:06:43
And that's pretty much
the end of my workday.
00:06:47
I usually put on my jacket
at the end of the day
00:06:50
and I say bye, bye everybody,
to all of my colleagues.
00:06:54
Well hey, thanks for coming along
00:06:56
with me for part of my day.
00:06:57
I hope you were able to learn
00:06:59
a few more English words and phrases
00:07:01
to talk about your daily routine.
00:07:04
Don't forget that next week,
00:07:05
part two of this video will come out
00:07:07
where I will talk some more about
00:07:09
the things that I normally
do in the evening.
00:07:12
But I hope this English lesson
00:07:14
helped you learn just a few
more English words and phrases
00:07:17
to talk about your daily routines.
00:07:19
I'm Bob the Canadian and you're
learning English with me.
00:07:22
Don't forget to subscribe
if you are new here
00:07:24
and give me a thumbs up if this video
00:07:26
helped you learn just a
little bit more English.
00:07:28
Thanks for watching and have a great day.
