Phrasal Verbs: Morning Routine (Good for IELTS)

hello everybody this is Elliot from ETJ English how are you all doing today now I've got an interesting lesson for you I recently run a poll on Facebook I gave you three options and between three different videos that I could do for my next lesson this lesson and the winner by far was the option of phrasal verbs and I thought it would be you guys love your phrasal verbs I mean you really love phrasal verbs it's a little bit of a basic lesson but it's still good you know everybody needs to know phrasal verbs and for some people this might be quite an easy lesson for others it could be quite challenging but I think I've got some of the most common phrasal verbs in this listening practice after we've done the listening practice I'm going to explain all of the phrase of words that I use and it's also going to be useful for some of you doing the IELTS exam because this topic the morning routine that I'm going to talk about is something that comes up a lot in the speaking part of the IELTS exam which is something I also teach on skype so without further ado I'm going to go and talk about my morning routine now not everybody uses this many phrasal verbs but I'm trying to put as many in there as I can so that you can understand you know where we use phrasal verbs and kind of how they how frequently they can be used I mean that's so common so I can try and get all of these phrasal verbs in here I've got a big list in front of me I'm going to make it up as I go along so I'm going to create it improvise and let's hope it's good so I hope you enjoy the lesson okay so I'm going to talk to you about my morning routine and generally it all starts when I get up so usually I get up at about let's say 7:25 that's when I set my alarm anyway it does depend if it's a weekend on a weekend I usually have a bit of a lie-in so I might wake up a little bit later so I can relax a bit so I start working up I usually get out of bed of course and run down the stairs and then I go into my kitchen and I'll sort out my breakfast of course so it depends if I have an early skype lesson what I had for breakfast if I have an early skype lesson then I'll probably just fix up a quick on of cereal chop up some fruit and throw it in there but if I don't have an early skype lesson and I feel like treating myself which I know we all do sometimes I might actually cook up some bacon and eggs and have a bit of an English traditional fry up it's a nice treat to have sometimes I would say so usually when I have my breakfast I'll probably switch on TV and catch up with with the recent news that that's on the news on the TV and enjoy my enjoy my breakfast so I do all this before of course I jump in the shower clean myself and get ready for the day I think I'm quite lucky because I work from home now a lot of people usually have to get ready really fast and then they have to you know jump in a car hop on a bus or get on a train and they have to get to their place of work on time now for me I just get to sit down on this chair and teach lessons on skype I mean there's a lot more to it making YouTube videos and things like that but yeah it's been quite lucky but you know I do try and get out of the house and get some fresh air when I can because I think that's very important I might also go out and you know get some food in for the night for dinner but yeah that's generally my morning routine that's kind of how it works think it's quite normal I'm similar to the sort of routine that most people have I'm sure you probably noticed a lot of phrasal verbs in there and yet that was a lot of phrasal verbs so I'm going to actually explain all of these phrasal verbs now and hopefully you'll have a bit of a better understanding of how we can use phrasal verbs and maybe you might learn some new ones in here also so it all starts when I get up and that is when you open your eyes and your day begins from your sleep now we had lie in a lie in is when we sleep for longer so maybe we don't have anything to do that morning so we have a lie in which means that we just sleep for longer and English people of lions wake up of course is the same as get up really it just means to open your eyes and begin your day get out of bed that simply means to exit your bed run down the stairs now I could have said walk down the stairs I could have said raced down the stairs I could have said jump down the stairs whatever you want make it sound as energetic as you want I said run because maybe I'm in a rush so you can do whatever you want to make your way down the stairs in the morning or in the day whenever for up of course sort out my breakfast and this simply means just to prepare my breakfast I can sort out anything if I want to organize it and let's say prepare something fix up similar thing but this means to actually start doing it so I started fixing up my breakfast which means I started doing it doing the action of making it and creating it from scratch from the beginning chop up this means to cut my food so I chopped up some fruits by self explanitory you'd shop it we put us at the end and it's more common than just saying shot a lot of the time so up can sometimes be a really common thing even though it doesn't need to be in the word or phrase necessarily I said I throw it in I throw my fruit in and that just means I'm adding it throw it in we like to be a bit more exciting when we talk about things in English because we don't want it to sound boring if I just said I put my food my fruit in my bowl it doesn't sounded energized and exciting is when I say that I throw it in okay so we say that a lot and then I said I cook up or fry up a fry up is traditionally an English meal and English breakfast if you don't know what it is then Google English breakfast or English fry up and I said I'd cook it up to cook up something means just to cook something okay so it's just the action we just put up on the end don't ask me why but it normal switch on the TV quite self-explanatory I'm sure you know that it just means to press the power button and turn it on as it were catch up with the news that simply means to stay up to date that's another we can say stay up to date and that just means to be up to now to understand everything up until now to be up to date jump in a jump in the shower I could just say I get in the shower but I wanted it to sound a bit more exciting so I said that I jump in the shower with energy get ready for the day that simply means to get your clothes on clean your tea to get ready for the day okay you can get ready for a lot of things it's usually getting changed getting dressed okay get ready and then I started talking about people who have to jump in a car or jump on a bus hop on a bus get on a train all these different things we can put whatever word we want in the verb section okay before the preposition to make it sound more exciting I often say that I jump in my car if I'm going to drive somewhere so it's a good one to think about and then I say that people have to get to their place of work and that simply means they need to arrive they need to make the journey and arrive they have to get to it's like saying to get somewhere on time that simply means to arrive there at the time that you need to be that to be punctual to arrive on time and then I said I'm I'm lucky and I get it I get to just sit sit in my chair that's why I get to do and that means it means it's like that's what I'm allowed to do that's what I can do I'm able to do this I get to just sit in my chair and work get out of the house same as get out of bed it means to exit to leave your house so I get out of my house this one's really common get some fresh air that simply means to breathe the air in the breeze or the air around you in and feel it get some fresh air out outdoor air then I also go out and get some food in of course I get some food in which usually we say this when we get food from the outside from a shop and we get it in our house to then cook for dinner later so if someone might say have you got any food in yet and that means do you have any ingredient and food ready to cook for your dinner tonight so food in get your food in later so I hope you on this kind of list of phrasal verbs useful like I said to some people this is quite basic for some people this is quite advanced but what I recommend is now that I've taught you all of these phrasal verbs you've heard them hopefully you've written them down and remembers them now I recommend that you listen to my piece of speech again

morning routine using as many phrasal verbs as you can in the comment section below now remember there's loads of other phrasal verbs there's so many you can use some of these ones that I've talked about have multiple meanings but I've just taught you them in context here okay so just in the context of talking about the morning routine anyway I hope you enjoyed the lesson guys please give me a
