Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr.

English Channel where learning English

is easy and fun. I'm Emily.

>> Hello Emily. Hello everyone. It's great

to be here with you all. How are you

today Emily?

>> I'm great Paul. Very happy for another

episode. How are you?

>> I'm fantastic. I feel good today. I'm

ready for a fun conversation.

>> Me, too. And before we start our topic,

we want to say thank you for listening.

>> Yes. Thank you. And please, if you like

our channel, remember to subscribe and

click the like button. It helps us a

lot.

>> Exactly. Share with your friends, too.

So, Paul, what is our topic today? Today

we talk about our day, our daily

routine, what we do every day.

>> Ah, that's a great topic. We use a lot

of simple important English for that. We

use the simple present.

>> Yes, the simple present is for routines,

habits, things we do every day or

sometimes or never.

>> It sounds easy and useful. So to start,

Paul, are you a morning person?

>> A morning person? H

no, Emily, I am not a morning person. I

like my bed.

>> Oh, I see. So you wake up late?

>> Yes, I do. On weekends, I wake up very

late. On weekdays, for work, I wake up

at 8:00.

>> 8:00 is not so late. I am a morning

person. I love the morning.

>> Wow. Really? So, you wake up early?

>> I do. I wake up at 6:00 every day. Yes,

even on weekends.

>> 6:00. Wow. Emily, what do you do so

early?

>> Well, first I open the window. I love

the morning air. Then I drink a big

glass of water.

>> Water? That is very healthy. I need my

coffee. The first thing I do is make

coffee.

>> Ah, a coffee person. I like coffee, too.

But in the morning, I prefer tea.

>> Tea is good. It's calm. I need energy.

So, I drink coffee. I always have a big

cup.

>> I understand. After my water, I do some

exercise. Just a little.

>> Exercise in the morning. You have so

much energy.

>> It helps me wake up. After that, I take

a shower and then I have breakfast.

>> Okay. Breakfast. My favorite part of the

morning. What do you eat for breakfast,

Emily?

>> I usually eat yogurt and fruit.

Sometimes I have toast with jam. What

about you, Paul?

I love a big breakfast. I usually have

eggs and toast and my coffee, of course.

>> Eggs and toast. Yummy. That's a classic

breakfast.

>> Yes, it is. I feel ready for the day

after my eggs and coffee. So, what

happens next in your day? You go to

work.

>> Yes, I work from Monday to Friday. I

work at a small library. I love books.

>> A library. That sounds so nice and

quiet. I work in an office. It is not

quiet.

>> I can imagine. I like the library

because I see many people and many, many

books. I start work at 9:00.

>> I also start at 9:00. I drive my car to

work. The traffic is sometimes bad. Oh,

I don't like traffic. I walk to the

library. It is very close to my house.

>> You walk? That is wonderful. A nice

morning walk.

>> Yes. It's only 10 minutes. I listen to

music or a podcast. Sometimes I listen

to Mr. English Channel.

>> Good choice. So, we both work. We start

at 9. What about lunch? I get hungry

around 1:00.

>> Me, too. I usually bring my lunch from

home. I eat a salad or a sandwich.

>> That's smart. I sometimes go to a small

cafe near my office. They have good

sandwiches.

>> It's nice to go out sometimes. Do you

eat with people from your work?

>> Yes, I do. I usually eat with my friend

David. We talk about sports and movies.

>> That's nice. A good break from work. I

eat in a little park near the library

when the weather is nice.

>> A park. How lovely. With the sun and the

trees.

>> Exactly. It's very relaxing. So, we

work, we have lunch, then what? The

afternoon.

>> The afternoon

for me. The afternoon at work is busy.

Many emails, many phone calls.

>> For me, too. Many people come to the

library in the afternoon. Families with

children.

>> Oh, that sounds fun. Do you read stories

to them?

>> Sometimes. Yes. I love reading stories

to the kids. They have big happy eyes.

>> That is so sweet. My afternoon is just

more coffee.

>> More coffee for Paul. And when do you

finish work?

>> I finish work at 5:00. And you?

>> I also finish at 5:00. The library

closes and I go home.

>> So when you get home, what is the first

thing you do?

>> H.

Good question.

I have a dog. His name is Max. So, the

first thing I do is say hello to Max. He

is always so happy to see me.

>> A Max, that's a great way to come home.

I don't have a pet.

>> You should get a cat. You are not a

morning person and cats sleep a lot. A

perfect match.

>> A cat? Hm. Maybe my friend has a cat.

His name is Leo. Leo is very lazy. He

sleeps all day.

>> See, he wakes up, he eats, he sleeps, he

eats again, he sleeps again. A simple

life.

>> That is a very simple life. Leo is

lucky. So, after you say hello to Max,

what do you do?

>> I take Max for a walk in the park, the

same park where I have lunch. He loves

it. He runs and plays.

>> That's nice. Fresh air after a day of

work. After I get home, I usually listen

to music.

>> Oh, what kind of music do you listen to?

>> I like rock music and jazz. It helps me

relax. Sometimes I play my guitar.

>> You play the guitar? Wow, Paul, that's

so cool.

>> I try. I'm not a rock star, but I enjoy

it. I play for about an hour.

>> That's a fantastic hobby. My hobby is

reading. I have many books at home.

>> Of course, you work in a library. It

makes sense.

>> Yes, I love to read a good book in the

evening. It's quiet and I can travel to

other worlds.

>> I understand that. For me, music is like

that. So, what about dinner? When do you

have dinner?

>> I usually cook dinner around 7:00. I

like to cook. It's creative. I am not a

good cook, Emily. I cook simple things.

Pasta is my specialty.

>> Pasta is great. You can put anything

with pasta.

>> That is true. I often make pasta with

tomato sauce. Very simple, very good.

>> It sounds delicious. I like to cook

vegetables and chicken or sometimes

fish. And Max eats his dinner, too. Of

course.

>> Of course. Max needs his dinner. So,

after dinner, what do you do in the

evening?

>> I watch a movie sometimes or a show on

TV or I read my book. I like quiet

evenings.

>> Me, too. I watch TV or a movie or I call

my family or my friends.

>> Oh, that's very nice. You talk to your

family every day.

>> Not every day. I usually call my parents

on Wednesday and Sunday. I talk to my

sister a few times a week.

>> It's important to talk to family. I

usually call my parents on the weekend.

Yes, it is. So, after all that, it's

time for bed.

>> Yes, the end of the day. Because I wake

up early, I go to bed early.

>> That makes sense. What time do you go to

bed?

>> I usually go to bed around 10:00. I read

in bed for a few minutes and then sleep.

>> 10:00? That is early for me. I usually

go to bed around 11:30 or midnight.

>> See, I am a morning person and you are a

night person.

>> A night owl. Yes, that's me. I like the

quiet of the night.

>> So, this is our day. It's interesting

how we use the simple present for

everything. I wake up. You play the

guitar. He sleeps all day.

>> Yes. The verb is simple for I, you, we,

they, the verb is the same. I walk. You

walk. We walk. They walk.

>> But for he, she, and it, we add an s. My

dog Max plays with his ball. Your

friend's cat, Leo, eats his food. He

eats. She reads. It sleeps. Yes, that

little s is very important.

>> It is. And for questions, we use do or

does. Like I asked you, do you like

coffee?

>> Yes. And you answered yes, I do. Or you

can say no, I don't. And if I ask about

your friend Leo, I say, "Does he sleep a

lot?"

>> And the answer is, "Yes, he does." He

definitely does.

>> It's not so difficult when you see it in

a real conversation.

It's all about routine and habits.

>> Exactly. And everyone has a routine. Our

listeners have routines. I wonder what

they do every day. Oh, that's a great

question. Do they wake up early like me

>> or do they wake up late like me?

>> Do they drink tea or coffee?

>> Do they walk to work or drive a car?

>> What do they do in the evening? Do they

read or play the guitar?

>> So many interesting routines.

I think our days are very different, but

also a little similar. We work, we eat,

we relax.

>> That's true. The small things are

different and that makes life

interesting. Your guitar, my dog, Max,

>> the library, my busy office, it's all

part of our daily story.

>> I like that. Our daily story. And the

simple present helps us tell that story.

>> It does. It's a key to speaking English.

A very important first step. Well, Paul,

I think we had a great chat about our

day. It was fun to learn about your

routine.

>> It was fun to learn about yours, too,

Emily. Now I know why you are always so

happy in the morning.

>> It's the 6:00 air and the tea

>> and the exercise. I will stick to my

coffee. Thank you very much.

>> Okay. Okay. Well, I think that's all the

time we have for today.

>> Yes, it is. This was a lot of fun. We

hope you all had fun, too.

>> We hope you learned a little more about

the simple present and how to talk about

your day.

>> And now we want to hear from you.

>> Yes, please leave a comment below this

video. Tell us something about your day.

You can tell us one thing. For example,

I wake up at 7:00 or I drink tea in the

morning.

>> Or tell us, are you a morning person or

a night owl?

>> Yes. Let us know. We love reading your

comments. It's our favorite part of the

week.

>> It really is. And don't forget to

subscribe to Mr. English channel for

more easy and fun English lessons.

>> And give this video a big thumbs up if

you liked it. Share it with your friends

and family.

>> Thank you all so much for listening. We

will see you in the next episode.

>> Bye for now. Stay happy and keep

learning.

>> Bye everyone.
