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
