English Conversation Daily Routine with vocabulary

hello everyone and welcome back to

english with lucy

today i have a very special guest this

is my fiance william

hello everyone

will has never been on this channel

before no um

so it’s an honor it’s been long overdue

it has so i’ve seen that many of you

have requested a video on daily routines

so i thought it would be a good idea for

us to have a conversation

and tell you about our daily routines

and then i’ll pick out some vocabulary

to show you so this is a fantastic

listening lesson

pronunciation lesson because you can see

how we pronounce specific words

don’t forget to switch on subtitles if

you need them

and to make this even better i’ve

created a pdf sheet for you which

contains all of the key vocabulary all

you have to do to download that is click

on the link in the description box and

sent directly to your inbox

also don’t forget to share your own

daily routine in the comment section

down below i’d love to know what time

you wake up what you eat for breakfast

what you have for lunch what you have

for dinner and also what time you go to

bed

so first i think we should introduce

ourselves because although we are

getting married we live quite different

lives don’t we can be more different

really yeah so we live in the same house

but we have very different jobs

i am an english teacher but i work on

youtube

and i am a farmer

and i work mainly outdoors on the farm

yes so quite the unique pair i think

my first question for you is what time

do you usually wake up

usually i would wake up at 5 30 to 6

o’clock

yes but what time do you get up

but i get up

at six o’clock

yeah so there’s an important difference

between wake up and get up

when your eyes open in the morning you

wake up

but when you leave your bed in the

morning you get up and will has a big

problem

this gap between waking up and getting

is getting bigger and bigger isn’t it

i’ve gone from setting one alarm to

three alarms three alarms and i have to

lay next to him

hearing each alarm

so i have a very different job

well i wake up

at 5 30 at 5 45 at 6 o’clock with will

but i keep on sleeping and i

get up

at 7 30

but something very important happens

between that time frame i think

i feed the pets and i bring up a couple

of coffees

yes so very important in the morning

when will gets up before he goes to work

he brings me a coffee in bed and we try

to have a coffee together

it’s it’s a nice routine to have i think

yeah good start to the day yeah but it’s

interesting because

will’s job isn’t the same all year round

in summer

you’re really really busy i mean what

time do you wake up in the summer 4 30

normally

really really early

so in the uk we have very long days in

the summer and very short days in the

winter if you’re from norway sweden or

anywhere more up north

you’ll think what are you complaining

about but i remember when i was teaching

english in spain people were surprised

that the sun would rise

at 4 30 in the morning in summer and

then set at 10 at night

and but then in the winter the sun

doesn’t come up till nine o’clock and

then it can set at half past three so

it’s a big difference so your days in

summer are so much longer yeah so let’s

move on to having breakfast um

i normally have breakfast at around

8 o’clock

when do you have yours

either

7 30 before i go out to work

again

or at 10 o’clock

ah yes because you go out and come back

in for a break yes

yeah and what do you usually have

normally i would eat a bowl of cereal

or i’d have a plate of

toast

toast yes or on a special occasion

bacon sandwiches

very special bacon sandwiches on special

occasions or what about a full english

breakfast

only on weekends yes so

this is a really famous breakfast

in the uk the full english where you

have eggs

sausages

bacon

black pudding black pudding what’s black

pudding

i don’t think some of my students will

like it

you don’t need to know then it’s sausage

made out of blood

black pudding hash brown hash browns

like fried potato

baked beans french toast

yeah toast fried in oil

and we often have a cooked tomato and

cooked mushrooms as well

so it’s a huge breakfast very high fat

and we normally have it

if we have drunk alcohol

the night before

so it’s um

it’s something you’d have if you are

hungover

you can have a hangover or you can be

hungover this is important they need to

know it

because i think they see the english

breakfast sometimes and think that

that’s what we eat every morning and

that’s not true

no you have to be really hungry for an

english breakfast we don’t no we don’t

eat it every morning i would say maybe

five times a year yeah not a lot five

times a year if we go to a hotel full

english

sometimes we

compress it down to a flinglish can i

have a full english

so for my breakfast i nearly always have

it at around eight o’clock

and i normally have porridge

so that’s oats and milk cooked with some

fruit like banana

nectarines or plums at the moment and in

summer i use blueberries and bananas

delicious

so the next thing i do after breakfast

is i do some exercise in american

english it’s more common to say i work

out and we do say this

but it’s not as commonly used in british

english i do a workout yes but i work

out i mean would you think it’s more

american

yes definitely

yeah um so i either go to the gym and do

an exercise class or i stay on the farm

and i go for a run i go for a run if you

do exercise what do you do

i do a lot of walking

all day so

of my day will be walking

and

we have a fitbit that tracks every step

we take

every move we make

and

that tracks our steps

every day

yeah and we have a competition so you

can see all the steps that our friend

friends and family have done and if will

remembers to wear his fitbit

he always wins it’s so annoying i run 10

kilometers and i still don’t beat will

because you just spend all day walking

yeah so

all day nearly every day i will be

lifting bags

shoveling grain

just a lot of physical work really

yeah so you said shoveling yes so that’s

a to use a shovel or a spade it’s the

verb of using that i think that’s a good

one and grain

grain is basically seeds like wheat

barley

oats anything like that that’s what will

grows on his farm

so will also does some work in a little

gym that we have set up we have put in

place downstairs and i see you do lots

bicep curls bicep curls

squats

i do some squats at the gym sometimes

and

bench presses as well bench press those

are the three that i really see you do

yeah yeah anything else

what else are press-ups press-ups when

you’re down going like that

and

some chin-ups

oh yes when you pull your body up like

that yeah i hope you enjoyed my

demonstration

i won’t be starting a fitness channel

one thing that takes a lot of time for

me is doing my makeup and doing my hair

oh it’s a long process i’m exactly the

same

exactly the same

why else do you think i get up at half

four in the morning gotta look good for

those fields

um i also spend a long time writing

scripts and doing a lot of researching

because i’m always learning as well so i

have an idea for an english lesson in my

head and then i’ll spend

a full day researching and writing the

scripts for the next days filming so on

a monday i’ll do the research and the

writing

on a tuesday i’ll do the filming

on a wednesday we’ll get all the editing

done

and then on the thursdays and fridays

i’ll do more admin work

looking at my accounts the finances

replying to emails

sending emails it’s a full-time job

it’s a full-time job will has a very

specific lunch time what time is it one

clock one o’clock is lunch time it has

to be lunch time because that’s when

will’s dad has lunch as well and you

work with your dad yeah yeah so at one

o’clock every day we come in and we have

lunch and we both have different lunches

don’t we

yes yeah we hardly ever eat the same

thing

yes i normally have a sandwich in the

winter i always have soup

i love having something warm for lunch

because i’m quite a cold person i get

cold very easily

and in the summer i nearly always have

salad but not boring salad i like to

make interesting salads with different

seeds

i like to use butternut squash

yeah yep so that’s similar to pumpkin

some cheese like feta cheese or

mozzarella and i try to include a bit of

protein like

chicken or fish as well

in the uk

we tend to have a light lunch and a

heavy dinner i know this is different in

some countries and cultures i remember

when i lived in spain we would have a

big lunch and then a lighter dinner and

this was really hard for me especially

as the dinner time was so late

whereas in england we eat dinner quite

early but before we talk about dinner

what do we do in the afternoons well i

know one thing that i often do is i walk

the dog i love taking our dog diego on a

long walk across all the fields and i

think he loves that too

yes he does he loves it okay let’s talk

about dinner time here we normally have

dinner at around

six o’clock although sometimes in the

summer we’ll have it later

maximum eight o’clock right yeah latest

yeah latest eight o’clock and what do we

typically have for dinner

our meals are quite varied

we normally eat fish

twice a week yes so one of my favorite

dishes is to cook salmon with lemon

asparagus and potatoes we have that

every single week don’t we yes we do and

then we have other fish like tuna

sea bass

sea breeze

supreme

haddock

sometimes yeah bassa as well i love

bassa

we do eat a lot of fish two or three

times a week one of will’s favorites is

steak so i do that every now and again

we do it on the barbecue

and we also like doing chicken and

salads inspired by the italians we do a

lot of prawn linguini

with lemon and sun-dried tomatoes that’s

delicious

and then on a sunday

we often have a very traditional british

meal

the sunday roast

sometimes i make it myself

and sometimes we get well more often we

go to the pub i think more often

definitely

definitely i love going out on a sunday

afternoon for a sunday roast a sunday

roast

is made up of one meat

yeah so typically

turkey chicken

lamb pork or beef yes

one

side of potatoes

roast potatoes so roast potatoes are

very special you peel them you boil them

then you cover them in fat like an oil

or sometimes duck fat or goose fat and

then you put them in the oven and cook

them until they’re golden and crispy

they are so good they are delicious

they’re amazing and every british person

thinks that their parents their mums or

their grandmas

sunday roast potatoes are the best and

then

vegetables you’ll have two to three

or more

your mum does four different vegetables

she

she loves it she does such a good roast

um okay let’s say four uh different

types of vegetables will be on your

plate as well that would be broccoli

cabbage

peas

beans

carrots

parsnips parsnips yes that’s the one one

vegetable that i i will eat it there’s

nothing i won’t eat

but parsnips i would would not choose to

have them they’re too sweet for me often

with chicken or with turkey

because they’re birds they have stuffing

which is kind of

what is stuffing

stuffing’s made up of

chopped nuts

onion

onion flour

and some herbs and they’re all blended

together and made into

like a bowl

yeah and it’s quite doughy it’s quite

heavy

and then we also have yorkshire puddings

which

is like a big

it’s like a big fluffy pancake almost

the mixture is the same as pancake

mixture but it’s very light and airy it

starts off this size and it grows and

grows and if i have one i always give it

to will because it’s just too much food

for me and will accepts it does and then

the best bit is the gravy which is a

meat sauce made from the juices of the

meat

um and you pour that all over and it’s

absolutely delicious let’s move on to

the end of the day

what about

baths or showers

because i prefer a bath but if i have to

wash my hair

then i’ll have a shower and i normally

have it in the morning so that my hair

can be clean for the rest of the day

when do you have yours

so every night before i go to bed

about 9 30

to 10 o’clock i have a shower yeah just

before bed i never have a bath

i can’t fit in baths so will is six foot

six or one point nine eight meters tall

nearly two meters

so baths are often not an option what

time do you normally go to bed

i normally go to bed

between

and 10 30.

yes so we go to bed quite early but

obviously it’s because

we wake up quite early as well will

wakes up very early

but after will wakes up in the morning i

find it hard to go back to sleep so i

also go to bed between 10 and 10 30. we
