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
sign up to my mailing list it will be
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
up
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
i
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
um
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
um
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
um
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
um
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
80
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
of
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
so
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
o
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
um
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
um
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
10
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
