19:36 Ryan over here oh there you are Christine

19:43 sorry I'm late that's no problem what held you up I've just had a busy morning

19:53 oh really yeah lately my mornings have been packed

19:59 full of things to do I'm feeling overwhelmed I'm sorry to hear that what all do

20:06 you have to do every morning well usually

20:14 I sleep in past my alarm because I'm too

20:16 tired to get up so my alarm goes off at 6 but I usually hit the snooze

20:23 for at least an hour I normally get out of bed after 7 why are you

20:33 so tired in the morning hello are you

20:38 enjoying the story please give us a like thank

20:45 you it's my fault I usually go out with my friends for a drink at about 10:

20:51 at night and so I get back home after midnight then I usually play

20:59 video games or look at social media until I finally go to bed at 2:

21:07 oh that's not good you should go to bed sooner I know I think I'm addicted

21:14 to my phone okay so how else is your morning so busy well as I said

21:26 I usually wake up too late what else as soon as I get up I have

21:35 to take my dog outside to go potty then I usually throw the ball for him so

21:43 he can exercise by then it is already

21:47 7:30 and I still haven't eaten breakfast brushed

21:50 my teeth or gotten dressed and my boss

21:57 leaves for work at 7:45 that seems a little

22:03 tight how far is the bus stop from your home it's a 5-minute walk if I

22:12 walk fast which I always do I quickly

22:18 get dressed and brush my teeth and I usually

22:20 skip breakfast then I run out the door and rush to the bus stop if

22:33 all goes well I arrive at work by 8:45 then I usually grab a candy bar

22:41 or a soda before starting work then I work until lunch when I usually go and get

22:49 some fast food with some friends at the end of the workday I rush home to play

22:57 computer games for a few hours before I

22:59 order pizza or fast food for dinner after

23:05 dinner I watch TV until around 10:00 then it's time to hit the bar and hang out

23:11 with my friends it sounds like you could

23:16 change your schedule around that would help you

23:20 be healthier and have more energy oh really

23:26 what can I change if you like this video

23:31 and want to see more videos like it be sure to subscribe to our Channel thanks

23:35 for watching oh really what can I change well you could go to bed earlier after

23:52 dinner consider watching some TV before going

23:54 to bed before midnight then you'll get at least

24:00 two more hours of sleep I see but then when would I see my friends yes you

24:13 would miss out on seeing your friends

24:14 at the bar every night you could consider asking

24:20 them to meet you after work before you eat dinner or perhaps you can only see

24:26 your friends on the weekend but when you go to bed earlier at night you will

24:34 wake up in the morning feeling refreshed then

24:40 you will have enough time to eat a healthy

24:42 breakfast before you head out to the bus stop that's a good idea I get very

24:50 tired in the mid morning it may be because of the candy and soda I eat

24:55 when I get to work yes skip the candy and soda and also consider using your free

25:06 time in the morning to pack a healthy

25:10 lunch eating fast food every day isn't just

25:14 unhealthy it's also expensive wow I can't wait

25:21 to make these changes in my daily routine

25:23 I feel better already I'm happy to help

25:30 Ryan tell me Christine what does your daily routine

25:33 look like I'm so glad you asked I usually wake up at about 6 o'

25:44 in the morning the first thing I do is drink a big glass of water so I start

25:52 the day off feeling hydrated after that I do some sort of exercise for about 30

26:02 minutes I will either run do yoga or lift weights following that I take a shower

26:12 get dressed and put on my makeup I then usually eat a light breakfast of oatmeal

26:19 or eggs by that time it is usually about 8:00 I quickly pack a salad or sandwich

26:30 for my lunch and then I ride my bike to work which takes about 20

26:41 minutes when I get to work I like to First Catch upon emails then I check

26:50 my calendar to see what meetings I have I work through the morning and then I

26:58 sit outside and eat the salad or sandwich

27:00 I packed for lunch then I return to work

27:06 for the afternoon since I usually arrive early

27:11 I also leave a little bit early which

27:14 helps me to beat the [Music] traffic on the way home I often stop by the store

27:21 to pick up fresh food for dinner

27:27 in the evening I sometimes hang out with friends

27:30 or I will watch TV or read I cook dinner and eat at about 7:00 and then

27:42 I wind down before going to bed at 10:00 wow that sounds like a very good

27:50 day are you able to fall asleep so early oh yes because I exercise every morning

27:59 and ride my bicycle to and from work I'm plenty tired by 10:00 at night you know

28:07 this was really helpful Christine I think I

28:11 may even buy a bicycle and ride to work a few days per week great idea Ryan

28:18 just don't overdo it consider changing your schedule

28:23 one step at a time so that you don't get burnt out I will do that say

28:30 it's been really nice chatting with you Christine

28:35 I think I will run to the store and pick up some healthy food for dinner

28:40 thank you for meeting with me anytime Ryan

28:45 take care bye bye okay back to the beginning

31:03 back home after midnight listen to the lessons repeatedly to think in English

31:11 and automatic speaking repetition is very

31:16 very important to become fluent you need

31:20 to speak English fluently without translating in your head the words should come

31:26 out of your mouth automatically so this is where the repetition comes

31:33 in if you repeat the same vocabulary and sentences many times you will become

31:39 a master of this vocabulary and grammar so you will be able

31:44 to use that words automatically without thinking

31:48 about grammar rules and without translating vocabulary

31:51 in your head in order to think in English you must repeat

31:58 vocabulary and sentences as much as you can after lots of repetition eventually

32:04 you will start to think English in your head and improve your speaking

32:10 skills as I mentioned before we use the question and answer method repeatedly

32:16 in our short story lessons so you will listen to the vocabulary and sentences

32:22 many times in the same lesson if you want to complete your practice
