Welcome to Nativas Podcast, “Real English for real life.”
I’m Lily.
Hi, everyone.
I’m Tommy.
It’s great to be here.
Yesterday was a normal weekday for me.
My alarm rang at seven, but I stayed in bed for five more minutes.
Then I got up, brushed my teeth, and made coffee.
That sounds like a real morning.
Today, we will learn eight simple parts of a normal weekday morning routine.
Yes.
You will learn useful words and sentences to talk about your morning.
And I will try the sentences.
I may make my morning sound much more exciting than it is.

A normal morning can be exciting when you are very sleepy.
That is true.
Let’s start with the first part: the moment your day begins.
My day begins when my alarm says, “Tommy, get up!”
But my alarm does not really talk.
It may feel like it talks.
Now let’s learn how to describe that first moment.
I’m ready.
Well, I’m almost ready.
The first phrase is “wake up.”
It means you stop sleeping.
You can say, “I wake up at seven.”
So I can say, “I wake up at six thirty on weekdays.”
That is true, but I do not like it.
That is a good sentence.
“On weekdays” means Monday through Friday.
You can also say, “My alarm wakes me up.”
Let me try that.
“My alarm wakes me up at six thirty.”
My alarm is my morning boss.
That is a funny way to say it.
Another useful phrase is “set my alarm.”
At night, you can say, “I set my alarm for seven.”
I set my alarm for seven, and then I hope for a miracle.
Many people hope for that miracle.
Remember these phrases: “wake up” and “set my alarm.”
I wake up at seven, and I set my alarm for seven.
Now I know the first part of my morning.
After you wake up, you can “turn off your alarm.”
Then you can “get out of bed.”
For example, “I turn off my alarm and get out of bed.”
I turn off my alarm, but sometimes I do not get out of bed.
I stay there like a very tired statue.
You can say, “I stay in bed for five minutes.”
Then you can say, “I get up.”
“I stay in bed for five minutes, and then I get up.”
But sometimes five minutes becomes twenty minutes.
That happens.
You can also “make your bed.”
This means you put your blanket and pillows in order.
I get out of bed and make my bed.
It looks good for about ten minutes.
That is enough for the morning.
Try the full sentence: “I turn off my alarm, get out of bed, and make my bed.”
I turn off my alarm, get out of bed, and make my bed.
I feel like a very organized person.
Now we get ready in the bathroom.
First, you can say, “I brush my teeth.”
You can also say, “I wash my face.”
I brush my teeth and wash my face.
My face needs a little help in the morning.
Mine too.
You can also say, “I take a shower.”
A simple morning sentence is, “I take a shower before work.”
I take a shower before work.
Sometimes I sing in the shower, but the shower does not clap.
That is probably okay.
You can put the three actions together: “I brush my teeth, wash my face, and take a shower.”
I brush my teeth, wash my face, and take a shower.
That is a lot of work before breakfast.
These are common morning actions.
Remember “brush my teeth,” “wash my face,” and “take a shower.”
I brush my teeth and wash my face every morning.
On some mornings, I take a very fast shower.
After the bathroom, you can “get dressed.”
This means you put on your clothes.
You can say, “I get dressed after my shower.”
I get dressed after my shower.
Choosing clothes can take a very long time.
You can say, “I put on a shirt and jeans.”
The phrase “put on” means you place clothes on your body.
I put on a shirt, jeans, and my best socks.
My socks are very important.
They can be important.
You can also say, “I wear comfortable clothes.”
“Comfortable” means they feel good to wear.
I wear comfortable clothes on weekdays.
On Friday, I wear my very serious meeting socks.
That is a nice example.
Try this sentence: “I get dressed and put on comfortable clothes.”
I get dressed and put on comfortable clothes.
Then I look ready for the day, even when I am not ready inside.
Now it is time to “have breakfast.”
In American English, we often say, “I have breakfast at seven thirty.”
I have breakfast at seven thirty.
If I am late, I have breakfast at seven thirty-one.
You can say, “I make coffee” or “I drink water.”
You can also say, “I eat toast, fruit, or eggs.”
I make coffee and eat toast.
Sometimes I eat three pieces of toast, so breakfast is a big event.
That is a big breakfast for you.
A useful sentence is, “I have a quick breakfast.”
I have a quick breakfast when I am late.
I drink water, eat toast, and run to the door like a movie star.
You do not need to run.
You can say, “I eat breakfast before I leave home.”
I eat breakfast before I leave home.
I also drink water before I leave home.
Now I am ready for the next step.
Before you leave, you can “check your bag.”
This means you look inside and make sure you have what you need.
I check my bag for my phone, keys, and wallet.
One time, I checked my bag three times.
Three checks can be useful.
You can also say, “I pack my lunch.”
That means you put your lunch in your bag.
I pack my lunch, my phone, my keys, and one emergency cookie.
The cookie is not a problem.
You can say, “I take my bag and check the door.”
I take my bag, check the door, and check my bag again.
My bag is the most checked bag in the city.
Let’s practice the important sentence: “I check my bag before I leave.”
I check my bag before I leave.
I pack my lunch, find my keys, and take my phone.
The next part is “leave home.”
You can say, “I leave home at eight.”
I leave home at eight on weekdays.
At eight oh five, I am still saying goodbye to my kitchen.
That is a little late.
You can say, “I go to work” or “I go to class” after you leave home.
I leave home at eight and go to work.
If I am early, I feel like the king of time.
You can also say, “I walk to work” or “I take the bus.”
These sentences tell us how you travel.
I walk to work when the weather is nice.
When it rains, I take the bus and look out the window.
Good.
Try the full sentence: “I leave home at eight and go to work.”
I leave home at eight and go to work.
Then my normal weekday morning is finished.
Now let’s put the morning into one short story.
Use “first,” “then,” “after that,” and “finally.”
I know “first.”
It means the first action.
“Then” tells us about the next action.
Exactly.
You can say, “First, I wake up.
Then, I get up.”
First, I wake up.
Then, I get up.
After that, I brush my teeth and get dressed.
Good.
“After that” means the next thing.
At the end, use “finally.”
For example, “Finally, I leave home.”
After that, I have breakfast and check my bag.
Finally, I leave home.
You can also use “usually” for something you do on most weekdays.
Say, “I usually wake up at seven.”
I usually wake up at seven.
I usually have breakfast, check my bag, and leave home at eight.
Great.
Your complete morning story can be simple: “First, I wake up.
Then I get up.
After that, I get ready and have breakfast.
Finally, I leave home.”
First, I wake up.
Then I get up.
After that, I get ready and have breakfast.
Finally, I leave home.
My morning is not a movie, but it is clear.
Chapter one was “wake up” and “set my alarm.”
Chapter two was “turn off my alarm,” “get out of bed,” and “make my bed.”
Chapter three was “brush my teeth,” “wash my face,” and “take a shower.”
Chapter four was “get dressed,” “put on clothes,” and “wear comfortable clothes.”
Chapter five was “have breakfast,” “make coffee,” and “drink water.”
Chapter six was “check my bag,” “pack my lunch,” and find my keys.
Chapter seven was “leave home,” “go to work,” and “take the bus.”
Chapter eight was telling the story with “first,” “then,” “after that,” “finally,” and “usually.”
A small English sentence can open a big part of your day.
In the next 24 hours, say five sentences about your own morning out loud.
I will say, “I wake up, get up, brush my teeth, have breakfast, and leave home.”
That is five actions.
And now our morning story comes back to my alarm.
Yesterday, I stayed in bed for five minutes, and then I got up.
