video I will show you some different expressions some possible questions and
answers to help you talk even more about your daily routine I'm teacher Prix and
I want to help you talk to anyone anywhere anytime in English thanks for
joining me on another video and if you are new here hey thanks for watching I
hope you subscribe every week I post different kinds of videos to help people
from all over the world become more confident speakers in this video lesson
I'm going to show you six questions related to daily routine and how to
answer them more differently okay this video is aimed for pre intermediate and
intermediate speakers if you are a beginner check out my video for daily
routine question number one how do you like your routine well I think my
routine is quite busy but I really enjoy it it's not great but I can handle it
it's great I love my routine I'm always doing different things this is an open
question okay guys it's not simply a yes-or-no I want to know your opinion
how you feel about your routine try to explain a little bit about it
okay so in the first answer I'm quite busy my routine is quite very quite busy
but I really enjoy it but I really like it option two I'm not so happy about it
it's not great but I can handle it but I can manage it but I can deal with it
that's the meaning of handle can you handle your routine let me know question
number two what time do you wake up during the week I usually wake up around
6:00 in the morning but sometimes they hit the snooze button a few times and end
up being late for work it depends on the day on Mondays and Wednesdays for
example I can get up around 8:00 but on the other days I have to get up really
early around 6:00 a.m. so in this question
I asked you what time do you wake up during the week because maybe on the
weekends you wake up at a different time so weekdays Monday to Friday all right
and then in the first answer I say that usually so adverbs are important usually
is an adverb try to use them and then I say I hit the snooze button if you hit
the snooze button you can set the alarm to wake you up again at in five minutes
in ten minutes it depends do you hit the snooze button a lot on the other answer
said well it depends and then I give you specific days on Mondays and Wednesdays
at 7:00 on the other days at 8:00 it depends question number three how do
you feel when you wake up it depends some mornings I feel great energetic and
ready to go but other mornings I feel sleepy and grumpy I am NOT a morning
person so it's definitely difficult for me to wake up in the morning I need a
lot of coffee so in this question I want to know how you feel in the
morning when you wake up tired sleepy angry energetic so we need adjectives
here in the first answer I said it depends and then I connect two phrases
some mornings I feel good but other mornings not so much then in the other
answer I say I am NOT a morning person so it's difficult to wake up in the
morning this is a good way to answer how you feel about waking up in the morning
question number four do you have anything to eat before you go to work or
to school if I am in a hurry I only have a cup of coffee and eat my breakfast
when I get to work when I have enough time I like to have scrambled eggs and
orange juice while checking my facebook feed if I am very hungry I will
grab something to eat before I leave if I'm not hungry
I go straight to work or school and have my breakfast with my colleagues in the
office it depends when I have time I like to have breakfast at home before I
go to work but I'm usually late in the morning so I just grab some fruit and
rush to work so in this question I'm asking you if you eat anything
I didn't say do you have breakfast in the morning and then I started giving
you some options here the first answer I said if I am in a
hurry if I don't have time if I have to go very quickly if I am in a hurry I
have a cup of coffee and go to work now if I have time I continued if I have
sufficient time if I have enough time I have some eggs while checking my
Facebook feed so I'm showing that I have breakfast but I'm also watching TV or
checking my facebook so you can talk a little bit about that you don't need to
say only Oh, I sit down and I eat breakfast no what do you really do I
always check my phone when I'm eating breakfast or I watch a video on YouTube
how about you that's how you talk about your routine details in the second
option I said if I am in a hurry again I grab something to eat before I
leave grab is take pick so that's a very common verb you can use okay you
don't have time to sit down and have breakfast so you just take something
really quickly you just grab something to eat and you go and then I continue by
saying I go straight to work you don't stop anywhere you go straight to work in
the third option I said well it depends if I have time I do this if I don't have
time I do that and then I said again I grab a fruit or a drink and then I go
question number five how do you get to work or school my parents dropped me off
at school I took the bus to school I took the subway to work I walk to work
it's near my place I Drive to work so in this question I asked you what means of
transportation you use to get to arrive at work or school so I said how do you
get to work how do you get to school okay then I said well my parents my
father and my mother drop me off they drive me to school they take me to
school they drop me off at school or I said I take the bus to school I take the
bus to work or I can say I walk to work and then I explain it's near my place I
walk to work you can also say I go to work on foot but it's not so common you
can say I walk to work question number six do you like your working hours Well
it's alright I don't have much free time but it's okay I love my working hours I
have time to study and do my own thing nope I hate working the night shift on
weekends I have no social life because of that so in this question very
straightforward I ask if you like it or not most of the times students just
say yes it's okay now try to continue and give a short explanation just as the
examples here for example in the first answer I said it's alright I don't
have much free time so it's not perfect but you are okay in the second answer I
love my working hours I have time to do my own thing this is an expression when
you do your own thing you do something you like something that
you are interested in okay your own thing nope
I hate my working hours and then I explain I have to work the night shift
what is the night shift doctors and nurses for example sometimes have to
work at night so they work the night shift okay sometimes they have to work
the morning shift but many times they work the night shift and it's not cool
then I continue by explaining I have no social life I don't go out I don't
have time to go out there you go so this is a different way to approach routine
I'm not showing you detailed routine phrases I'm showing you different
expressions and verbs to help you have a more specific a more detailed
conversation about it okay now I would like you to answer the six questions I
