Peppa, wake up. It's time to go to school. But Daddy, I don't want to go to school.
Peppa, you have to go to school and I have to go to work. What do you have to do today
and what do you usually do every day? That is the topic of today's lesson.
I'm going to give you some phrases that you can
use to talk about your day, to talk about the
things that you do every day. And I have some
surprises for you in this video that I think
you will enjoy or you will just laugh. So, watch
the whole thing and you will see what I mean.
So, let's talk about my day. I will read the complete text first. You can listen
and read at the same time. So, you're
practicing your reading and you're listening.
I wake up at 5.30, but I don't get up right away. I usually stay in bed
for another five to ten minutes. I only get out of bed around six.
After I get up, the first thing I do is
open the blinds. Then, I go to the bathroom.
I go to the bathroom. I wash up and get dressed.
Okay. So, let's talk about these words one by one
a little quickly. Wake up. I open my eyes.
What time do you wake up? What time do you stop
sleeping? I don't get up right away. So, get up is
you leave your bed. Okay. I usually stay in bed.
I rest. I continue to rest. And I only get out
of bed. This is another way to say get up, right?
Get up or get out of bed around six. After I
get up, the first thing I do is open the blinds.
So, the blinds are the covers that block the sun
in the window. Maybe you have blinds. Maybe you
have curtains. Okay. And then I go to the bathroom.
We know what that means. Okay. I wash up. I wash
up. I wash my face. I wash my hands. And then I
get dressed. Get dressed means I put my clothes
on. Ah, magic. Please listen to me and read this as
you listen. Next, I comb my hair and go downstairs
to the kitchen. The first thing I do in the
kitchen is put the kettle on. While the water
is boiling, I make my breakfast. When everything
is ready, I sit down at the table and have my
breakfast with a cup of tea or coffee. I usually
have my breakfast and check my phone at the same
time. So, let's do some of these things. Next, I
comb my hair. This is a comb. It has one row of
teeth. You can call these teeth. If you use the
word brush, I brush my hair, it has multiple
rows of bristles for your hair. This is a comb.
You can use comb as a verb. I comb my hair.
I go downstairs. Follow me. Okay. Okay.
This is the kitchen. I'm in the kitchen now.
And the first thing I do in the kitchen is I put the kettle on. So, put the kettle on.
You pour water into the kettle. Close it. Put the
kettle on. And we'll check on that in a little bit.
Okay. Yeah. I can hear it. Good. So, while
the water is boiling, you can hear it boiling,
I make my breakfast. So, I like eggs. I think many people like eggs for breakfast.
Here, I have a pan. So, let's crack an egg. Yep.
Good. Normally, you don't want the shell in there,
but protein and everything. Okay. Perfect. I'm
going to check on that later. Maybe I will check
it later. Okay. So, when everything is ready, I
sit down at the table and I have my breakfast.
We use the verb "have" in English to talk
about food and drinks. So, you can have lunch,
have breakfast, have dinner, have eggs, have
coffee, for example. So, I usually have my
breakfast with a cup of tea or coffee. Okay.
The water was boiled a while ago. So, here I am,
drinking my tea or my coffee. It depends what I am
in the mood for. Okay. Do you drink tea or coffee
in the morning or do you prefer a different drink? I still have the shell. This is the
finger of power now. Okay. With a cup of tea or
coffee, I usually have my breakfast and I check
my phone. Oh, thank goodness it's in my left
pocket and not my right pocket. And do you check
your phone while you are having your breakfast?
I know it's not a good habit, but I do it. I
check my emails, I check social media, and I check
the news usually. And are you having fun so far?
I need to wash my hands before we continue.
Thank you. Thank you for this. After breakfast,
I brush my teeth. This is called a toothbrush.
You brush your teeth with a toothbrush. Minty.
It's very minty. I taste the mint. Okay. So,
after breakfast, I brush my teeth and prepare
lunch for my kids. It's very important that my
kids stay healthy. But today, we don't have a lot
of options in the kitchen. So, I looked in the
fridge. I have some organic almond butter and
an onion. So, I guess today, my kids are eating
onions with almond butter. I will put that in
their backpack for school. I think that will be
a nice surprise for them. So, after my kids get
up, have breakfast, and get ready, prepare, right?
They get dressed. They pack their things for
school. They get ready for school. We leave the
house. We get in the car, and I drop them off at
the bus stop. "Drop someone off" is to take them
to a place and leave them, usually with a vehicle
like a car. So, we get in the car, and I drop them
off at the bus stop. Then, I come back home, come
back, return, and I start working. So, I usually
work from 9 to 4.15. Sometimes later, and sometimes
after the kids go to sleep, I work more. My kids
get back home. "Get back" means return. My kids
get back home from school between 4.30 and 5 p.m.
My family and I have dinner around 4.45. I know,
I know, it's early. Many places in the world don't
have dinner until 7 or 8 or 9. I live in Canada. I
eat dinner early. I'm sure even for many Canadians,
this is early, but my kids come home, they are
hungry, basically. So, my wife and I cook during
the day. After dinner, I do the dishes, right?
So, "do the dishes" just means you wash them,
you clean them, wash the dishes. And then, I
relax and spend time with my wife and kids.
We usually watch TV, read, or play games.
Sometimes, we even sing songs together. For example,
"Say your prayers, little one, don't forget my son, to include everyone. I tuck you in,
all within, keep you free from sin, till the
same man he comes." "Daddy, that's too scary."
Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry. So sorry. Okay. Maybe we'll continue that later.
Play games. Yeah. I usually take a shower and
get ready for bed, prepare myself for bed around
8 o'clock. So, do you take showers in the morning
or in the evening? I like to take showers in the
because I like to feel fresh and clean in bed.
All right. Finally, I go to bed, right? I go to
bed. You can also say I get to bed, like I arrive
in my bed. I go to bed around 10pm and do it all
again the day after. That's it. That's my daily
routine. Usually, what I do from Monday to Friday.

My kids came home from school and I guess
they didn't like the onion with almond butter.
I don't understand why because it looks so delicious. Oh well, more for me.
