  • Hey everybody, welcome to this A1 English listening practice video.

  • You can use this video to practice your listening and comprehension as I speak.

  • You ready?

  • So, today, I'm going to talk about my daily routine.

  • My routine is different on weekdays and weekends.

  • I'll tell you about my routine on weekdays.

  • So, I normally wake up at about 6 or 6.15 AM.

  • I like waking up early.

  • I don't like getting up late.

  • When I wake up, the first thing I do is read my Bible.

  • Then, I study languages for a little while.

  • Currently, I'm studying Indonesian.

  • I like to study in the morning because I feel motivated.

  • Other people prefer studying in the evening.

  • Do you like studying in the morning, afternoon, or evening?

  • So, after I study, I usually eat some fruit.

  • This is my first food of the day.

  • Then, I start my work.

  • I usually start working at 7.30 AM.

  • Most other people start at 8 AM or 9 AM.

  • I like starting early, though.

  • I'm an English teacher, and I teach many students.

  • I have different students every day.

  • Some days, I have many classes, and other days, I have fewer classes.

  • Most of my students are from Brazil and Russia, but I have students from many other countries, too.

  • Every day, I talk to people from all over the world.

  • This is really fun.

  • I love my job.

  • So, during my workday, I have some breaks.

  • Sometimes, I have a 30-minute break between classes.

  • During my breaks, I eat, study, and hang out with my wife.

  • My last class usually ends at 4.30 or 5 PM.

  • Many Americans get off work at 5 PM.

  • After I get off work, I eat dinner.

  • My wife cooks dinner every weekday, so we eat at home.

  • I'm always hungry when I finish work.

  • In the US, people eat dinner early, like at 6 PM.

  • This is very common.

  • In other countries, people eat dinner late, like at 9 PM.

  • I don't like this.

  • For us, dinner is the biggest meal of the day.

  • We eat a lot for dinner.

  • My wife and I eat meat, vegetables, and other food.

  • Some days, I exercise in the evening, too.

  • I don't exercise every day, only some days.

  • I should exercise more, though.

  • After I exercise and eat dinner, I eat dessert.

  • I normally have milk and cookies.

  • I love milk and cookies.

  • After dessert, I study my languages more.

  • Then, I spend time with my wife.

  • Lastly, I take a shower, brush my teeth, and get ready for bed.

  • I usually go to bed at 10 PM.

  • So, that's my normal routine on weekdays.

  • I like to have a consistent routine.

  • I plan my days, and I try to follow my plan.

  • Some people don't like planning their days.

  • They prefer to do different things every day.

  • I like doing different things, too.

  • But, I like having a general plan to follow.

  • If I don't have a general plan, I feel lost.

  • I like having a daily routine.

  • However, on the weekends, I do many different activities.

  • My weekends are very different from my weekdays.

  • But, I always wake up and go to bed at the same time every day.

  • That doesn't change.

  • I like to start and end every day at the same time.

  • Okay, that's all for today.

  • Leave a comment and tell me if you have a daily routine.

  • I'll see you next time.
