[English]

Hello and welcome back to my slow

English

[Music]

podcast. Today I want to practice slow

English conversations with you. I'm

excited to have another slow English

podcast with my

sister. This English podcast is about

weekend

routines. You can practice listening to

English chats, hearing the questions and

giving an

answer. Okay. Today we will be

discussing what we do on the weekend.

What time do you wake up on the

weekend? On the weekend I usually sleep

in late. I don't like to wake up too

early. I wake up

around 9 or

10:00. Not too early. I don't like

waking up early on the weekends, but I

also don't like waking up too late. So,

I think 9 to 10 is the perfect time to

wake up on the

weekends. What about you? I wake up

usually around 7 7:30 a.m. because

during the week I always wake up at 7 or

7:30 a.m. So my body wakes up and I

can't fall asleep anymore. What do you

usually eat for breakfast?

For breakfast, I normally

eat oatmeal with lots of fruit,

yogurt, and honey. But

lately, I've been really enjoying

avocado toast with eggs. I used to not

like eggs at all, but now they're

starting to grow on me, but my absolute

favorite breakfast is a banana smoothie

with

kefir,

chia, flax seed, and bananas. And what

about you? I usually have just eggs for

breakfast. Only eggs. I

am sometimes too

busy to make anything else. You don't

like eggs with toast or avocado or maybe

ketchup? Sometimes eggs in a tortilla

with salsa is what I'll have for

breakfast.

Okay. Do you drink coffee or tea in the

morning?

Neither. I drink neither coffee nor tea

in the morning. I drink smoothies in the

morning every day. What about

you?

I drink smoothies if I have time

or sometimes coffee. Do you like to have

slow

mornings or busy, productive mornings

over the weekend? I prefer to have slow

mornings, but I like to keep my

afternoons

busy. So after breakfast, I usually try

to either

stretch or

exercise or do

yoga as a slow morning routine. Then

I'll try to do something more

productive. And in the evenings, I'll

try to just read a book or watch TV and

relax from a busy week. How about you?

Do you prefer slow mornings or

productive busy mornings on the weekend?

On the weekend, I prefer slow mornings

because I usually work during the week.

I'm very busy and on the weekend I like

to take things slow, wake up as late as

I can, make a nicer

breakfast, not just eggs,

and I like to read, play video

games, and go out on the weekend. Mhm.

What do your afternoons look like over

the weekend? In the

afternoon, I like to go

out, whether that's

shopping or just for a long walk. It

could be getting

groceries, buying

clothes, looking at furniture, and I

sometimes visit my friends or my family

over the weekend. And if the weather is

nice, I go for long walks. How about

you? In the afternoon, I like to go to

the park, but I stay out of the sun

because my skin is very

sensitive. So, I either try to go

outside in the shade or I stay

inside in my house. Either or, not both.

And a question I have for you is, do you

clean your house over the weekend? Yes,

I clean my house every weekend or I try

to. I think the weekend is when I have

the most time during my week. And do you

do the laundry during the week or over

the weekend?

I send my laundry to get done. It

varies. Sometimes during the week and

sometimes on the weekend. Mhm. Do you

listen to any music or podcasts? I

listen to all kinds of music. Right now

I'm really enjoying

Right now I'm listening to more house

music and R&B. Mhm. And what do your

evenings look like over the weekend? In

the evening, I eat dinner and I normally

like to take my time to cook at home

since I have the spare time to. It

always feels so much more

rewarding to cook and eat something. And

plus, I can add as much salt or

sauce or cheese as I want. They can be

stingy at restaurants sometimes. Other

times, if I'm feeling

lazy, I will go out to

eat or order takeout from a restaurant.

Then after dinner, I like to watch a

movie or listen to music. Listening to

music and dancing in my room is

something I always look forward to in

the

evening when I'm alone.

And if I'm with my friends or my family,

I prefer to watch movies and spend

quality time with them and then I go to

bed. What about your evening routine on

the weekends? During the evening, I

usually like to cook a nice dinner,

maybe watch a movie or play a video game

with my boyfriend. and I try to catch up

on my sleep.

Those are our weekend routines. What

about

yours? Try and answer these questions

yourself as the video goes along and

watch this video as many times as you

need to memorize new vocabulary.

I don't know what to do. And practice

answering the questions yourself.
