Diary

**Day 6 of Self-Discipline**

Hi everyone, welcome to my channel. I’m Ethan.

Today, I want to write a description of all the items and furniture in my apartment.

I’m currently renting a place that has a living room, bedroom, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and a balcony.

In the bedroom, there’s a bed, blanket, pillow, wardrobe, shoe cabinet, bedside table, air conditioner, remote control, window, and curtains. Inside the wardrobe, I have hangers, shirts, tank tops, T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, shorts, pants, jeans, sweatpants, casual pants, and underwear. In the shoe cabinet, there are sneakers, casual shoes, and dress shoes. That’s pretty much everything in the bedroom, which is mainly a place for sleeping and storing clothes.

Next is the living room, which has a sofa, armchair, stools, coffee table, fan, broom, mop, trash can, mirror, comb, and hair dryer. After work, I like to lie on the sofa and play with my phone. Every morning before heading out, I style my hair and check my outfit in the mirror.

Now, let’s move on to the kitchen, where there are more items. I have a refrigerator, gas stove, range hood, microwave, oven, rice cooker, induction cooker, sink, faucet, dish soap, dishcloth, oil, salt, soy sauce, and so on. I often tell myself to cook and bring lunch to work, but I still end up being too lazy because cooking feels like too much trouble. When I do buy groceries, I usually get chicken, pork, beef, fish, eggs, and vegetables like romaine lettuce, lettuce, chives, and bitter melon. I hope I can cook more often in the future because homemade meals are healthier.

In the dining room, there’s a large cabinet for storing bowls and plates, with a spot on top for chopsticks. We rarely use forks and spoons, but we have them just in case. Besides that, there’s a dining table and some stools.

In the bathroom, I have a water heater, washing machine, toilet, sink, faucet, and a medicine cabinet containing toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, a razor, face wash, shampoo, and body wash. Towels are hung on the wall. We only have a shower, no bathtub, so unfortunately, we can’t take baths.

The last area is the balcony, which I rarely visit. It’s mainly used for drying clothes and storing some miscellaneous items. My roommate smokes, so he goes out to the balcony to avoid us inhaling secondhand smoke, although we still end up catching some of the smell.

I’m not sure if learning all these words will be useful, but I figure the more English I read, the more I’ll learn. If you have any good recommendations for tutorials, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

That’s all for today. See you next time. Bye!

自律第6天

大家好，欢迎来到我的频道，我是Ethan。

我今天想写一篇文章，可以描述房间里的所有物品、家具。

我是租房住的，有客厅、卧室、厨房、餐厅、卫生间、阳台。

卧室里面有床、被子、枕头、衣柜、鞋柜、床头柜、空调、遥控器、窗户、窗帘。衣柜里面有：衣架、衬衫、背心、T恤、卫衣、外套、短裤、长裤、牛仔裤、运动裤、休闲裤、内衣裤。鞋柜里面有：运动鞋、休闲鞋、皮鞋。这些基本就是卧室里的所有内容了，主要是用来睡觉跟存放衣服的地方。

接下来到客厅，客厅有沙发、靠椅、凳子、茶几、风扇、扫把、拖把、垃圾桶、镜子、梳子、吹风机。平常下班之后我喜欢躺在沙发上玩手机，每天早上出门前在镜子前面整理头发跟着装。

来的我们的厨房，东西就相对多一些了，有冰箱、燃气灶、油烟机、微波炉、烤箱、电饭锅、电磁炉、水槽、水龙头、洗洁精、洗碗布、油、盐、酱油等等。我经常说要坚持自己做饭带饭去公司，但是我还是经常偷懒没做，因为做饭是在太麻烦了。我买菜的话肉类一般有：鸡肉、猪肉、牛肉、鱼肉、鸡蛋，蔬菜有：油麦菜、生菜、韭菜、苦瓜等。希望我以后能多做点饭，自己做饭比较健康。

到了我们的餐厅，这里有一个大的碗柜，用来存放饭碗跟菜盘，柜子上面有个地方放筷子，我们平常很少用刀叉跟勺子，但是还是有的。除此之外就是一个餐桌跟凳子了。

卫生间里有热水器、洗衣机、马桶、水槽、水龙头、药柜里有牙刷、牙膏、牙线、刮胡刀、洗面奶、洗发水、沐浴露。毛巾是挂在墙上的。我们只有浴室并没有浴缸，所以我们都是洗个澡而已，并不能泡澡，非常遗憾。

最后的区域是阳台，我平常很少去到这里，这里主要是用来晾晒衣服和存放一些杂物。我室友有抽烟的习惯，他会到阳台抽烟，避免我们吸入二手烟，虽然不可避免我们还是会闻到一些烟味。

其实我并不知道学学这些有没有用，但是不管了，英语看多了总能学得会的。如果你有什么好的教程推荐，欢迎在评论区写出你的想法。

今天就到此为止，下次见，拜拜！

**Day 5 of Self-Discipline**

Hi everyone, welcome to my channel. I'm Ethan.

Yesterday, I sprained my hand while playing badminton, and my wrist is a bit sore today, so I'm skipping my workout tonight. Instead, I plan to go out and practice driving, and I'll also install a new sound system in my car. That way, I can sing along while driving in the future.

From now on, I'll finish all my work during the day, so after work, I'll have free time to either exercise or practice driving.

Once I get more comfortable with driving, I'll be able to take road trips on the weekends, explore new places, and maybe visit nearby cities to try some local food.

Lately, I've been quite busy, and my schedule has gotten a bit chaotic. I've stopped getting up early to make lunch to bring to work, but I hope to get back to it tomorrow.

For now, I've been ordering takeout for lunch, but I'm getting tired of it, and it feels like there's nothing good left to choose from. I find myself struggling to decide what to order every day.

That's all for today. See you next time. Bye!

自律第5天

大家好，欢迎来到我的频道，我是Ethan。

我昨天去打羽毛球时扭到手了，今天手腕处有点痛，今晚我就不运动了。我今晚准备出去练车，顺便加装一下车里的音响，以后我就可以在车里唱歌了。

以后白天把自己需要干的活干完，下了班之后就可以自由活动，想运动或者练车都可以。

等我开车技术熟练点之后周末就可以开车出去玩，去看看风景，也可以去附近的城市吃点美食。

最近有点忙，作息是有点混乱了。现在早上没有起来做饭带饭到公司了，希望明天我能做到。

现在中午都是点的外卖，外卖吃多了也感觉没啥好吃的可以选择了，每天点外卖都是选择困难症。

今天就到此为止，下次见，拜拜！

**Day 4 of Self-Discipline**

Hi everyone, welcome to my channel. I’m Ethan.

Yesterday, I got my car, and I’m really excited about it. I’m 28 this year, and after working for ten years, I finally have my own car.

I grew up in the countryside, where getting around is quite inconvenient, especially when it comes to hailing a taxi. Now that I have a car, it’ll be much easier to get around.

I bought the car with a loan, and the monthly payment is around 3,000 yuan. Honestly, I don't feel too much pressure from it because even if I weren't paying for the car, I’d end up spending the money elsewhere. At least after two years, when the loan is paid off, I’ll still have the car.

After buying the car, we had dinner and then six of us went for a walk by the beach. What was supposed to be a short stroll turned into a four-hour walk, and by the end, we were all exhausted.

By the time I got home and finished dinner, it was almost 11 PM, so I ended up staying up late again.

Today after work, I’m planning to explore my car's features and get some driving practice in.

That’s all for today. See you next time. Bye!

自律第4天

大家好，欢迎来到我的频道，我是Ethan。

昨天我提车了，真的很开心，今年28了，过来工作有十年了，才拥有一辆属于自己的车。

我家在农村，出行打车很麻烦，买了车之后出行就会方便多了。

车子是贷款买的，月供需要三千块，其实我觉得压力倒是不大，因为就算不还车贷，我还是会花到其他地方。

买了车起码过两年还完车贷我起码还有辆车。

买完车聚餐之后我们六个人一起去海边散步，本来只是想逛一会的，最后连续走了四个小时，大家都筋疲力尽了。

晚上回来吃完饭都已经快十一点了。所以自然而然的我有熬夜了。

今天下班后我要去摸索一下我的车子的各项功能，练练车。

今天就到此为止，下次见，拜拜！

**Day 3 of Self-Discipline**

Hi everyone, welcome to my channel. I'm Ethan.  

Today is the Qixi Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine's Day, so happy holiday to everyone! But I'm still single, so I don't really need to celebrate. Instead, I'm going to play badminton with my buddies later. It's a sad story! Let's have a moment of silence for three seconds.

Now, let me share what happened today. This is just a way for me to practice my English, so it's mainly everyday stuff. If you find it boring, feel free to give a like and exit the video.

I woke up at 8 AM, got up to go to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and then I just lay in bed playing on my phone until 9. Then, I worked for half an hour. Because I had a sugary drink, I didn't feel hungry and ended up forgetting to have breakfast.

At 9:30, I left for work. On my way there, a bird pooped on my knee. Gross! As if being single and not having anyone to celebrate Valentine's Day with wasn't bad enough, this had to happen. What a terrible day! But thankfully, I was wearing shorts, so I just wiped it off with some water.

After that, I got into my regular work routine. I had lunch at noon and took a 30-minute nap. I started work again at 1:30 PM and finished at 6 PM. I also found some time to study English during breaks at work.

After getting home and having dinner, I relaxed a bit and then headed out for some exercise.

And that's it—my simple and ordinary life. Just another day, but a fulfilling one.

That's all for now. See you next time. Bye-bye!

自律第3天

大家好，欢迎来到我的频道，我是Ethan。

今天是七夕情人节，祝大家节日快乐！可是我还是单身，所以我并不需要过节，等下去找兄弟们打羽毛球去，这是个悲伤的故事！让我们默哀三秒钟！

接下来给大家讲讲我今天的故事，这是用来练英语的，所以只是一些生活琐事，如果觉得无趣大家可以点赞后退出这个视频了，哈哈。

我早上八点起床，然后起来上厕所、洗漱，然后又躺着耍手机到九点，然后开始工作半小时，因为我喝了带有糖分的饮料，所以我没有感觉到饿，以至于我忘记了吃早餐。

九点半的时候我出门去上班，骑车的途中有只鸟拉屎拉到我的膝盖上，好恶心，本来就因为单身无法过情人节心情不好，还遇到这个事，真是糟糕至极。不过万幸的是我穿的是短裤，鸟屎用水擦掉就行。

接下来我就开始我日常的工作，中午十二点去吃饭，然后午休半个小时，下午一点半上班，下午六点下班。在上班有空闲的间隙学习英语。

下班回来吃完晚饭之后休息一会就要出门去运动了。

这就是我平凡又朴素的生活，普通又充实的一天。

以上就到此为止，下次见，拜拜！

**Day 2 of Self-Discipline**

Hello everyone, welcome to my channel. I’m Ethan.

Last night, I didn’t get home from playing badminton until 10 PM. After showering and recording and editing the video, it was already 11 PM, so I ended up going to bed late again.

So, I’ve decided that from now on, I’ll record my videos in the morning. This way, I can talk about what I did the day before and share my thoughts. It’s also a good way to motivate myself to get up early.

Additionally, I’m thinking of improving my spoken English by watching *Friends*. I’m not sure how effective it will be, so feel free to share your suggestions in the comments.

That’s all for today. See you next time, bye!

自律第二天

大家好，欢迎来到我的频道，我是Ethan。

昨天晚上我打完羽毛球回去已经十点钟了，洗个澡然后再录制视频跟剪辑，就已经十一点钟了，这样我又晚睡了。

所以我决定以后就每天早上起来录制视频，介绍我昨天的日程以及感悟。这样刚好激励我早起。

还有，我想通过看《老友记》来学习口语，不知道效果如何，大家可以在评论区给我点建议。

以上就是今天的全部内容，下次见，拜拜！

**Day 1 of Self-Discipline**

Hello everyone, welcome to my channel. I’m Ethan.

Since Tuesday, I’ve had a cold with symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, and a sore throat. On top of that, it’s the beginning of the month, so I’ve been busy calculating salaries and performance. Because of this, I haven’t been studying English or updating my videos for the past few days.

Starting today, I want to resume my daily check-in videos and commit to going to bed early, waking up early, and studying English every day.

That’s it for today. Keeping it short. See you next time, bye!

自律第一天

大家好，欢迎来到我的频道，我是Ethan。

从周二开始我就一直感冒到现在，有流鼻涕、打喷嚏、嗓子痛的症状，又刚上月初需要算工资绩效，所以这几天都没有学英语，也没有更新视频。

我想从今天开始重新更新我的打卡视频，每天要早睡早起，学英语。

今天就到这里了，简短一点。下次见，拜拜！

Today, I don’t have a new script because I was pretty tired yesterday and didn’t want to stay up late. So, I only recorded half of the video. Today, I’m just going to read yesterday’s script.

8/5

Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel. I’m Ethan.

Yesterday was Sunday, and I didn’t have to work, so I decided to go out and relax.

I woke up at 6 AM and spent some time on my phone until 9 AM. Then my friend came over, and we headed to Huizhou West Lake for a day trip.

West Lake is 60 kilometers away from here, and it takes about an hour and 20 minutes to drive there. The highway was clear, but there was some traffic near the scenic area, which is why the journey took so long.

Next to the lake, there’s a Taoist temple. We went in to pray, and by the time we finished, it was noon. We had lunch and then walked along the lake, enjoying the scenery. The view at West Lake is beautiful, but the weather was very hot, and we quickly started sweating.

We took some photos of the scenery, but since it was so hot, our phones overheated, so we didn’t take too many pictures. We also fed the fish, and as soon as we threw in some fish food, many fish came to eat. If fishing were allowed here, it would surely be a great catch, but of course, I’m just joking—fishing is not allowed here.

After that, we rented a boat to enjoy the view from the water. West Lake has several small islands that are home to many birds. We cruised around for about an hour, but it was just too hot, so we decided to end our trip.

The drive back took another hour and a half. When I got home, I was exhausted, so I took a nap for an hour before getting up to shower and then went out for dinner. After that, I just relaxed on my phone until 10:30 PM, when I went to bed.

Alright, that was my relaxing Sunday trip. If you like this video, don’t forget to like, comment, and share. See you next time, bye!

中文

Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel, I’m Ethan.

昨天是周日，我不需要上班，所以我决定出门去游玩放松一下。

我早上六点起床，然后一直刷手机到九点钟。我朋友来我这跟我一起出发去惠州西湖游玩。

西湖距离我这60公里，开车过去需要一个小时20分钟。高速没有堵车，但是景区旁边堵车，所以路程才要这么久。

西湖边上有个道观，我们进去祈福完就到中午了。我们去吃了饭然后沿着西湖边走边欣赏风景，西湖的风景非常好，但是天气炎热，不到一会我们就流了很多汗。

我们拍了一些风景照，但是天气热手机发烫，就没有过多拍摄。我们还去喂鱼，随便丢点鱼食下去都非常多鱼来抢，如果能在这里钓鱼肯定是大丰收。当然我是开玩笑的，这里不允许钓鱼。

后面我们租船乘船欣赏风景，西湖有十几个小岛，上面有很多鸟类栖息。我们大概乘船观光了一个小时，天气实在太过炎热，我们就结束今天的旅程啦。

返程又是一个小时半小时，回到家后我实在太困，先睡了一个小时才起来洗澡，然后出门吃完饭。然后就是刷手机到十点半睡觉了。

好了，这就是我昨天悠闲的周日行程。if you like this video, don’t forget to like, comment and share, see you next time, bay!

Hello, everyone. I'm Ethan. Welcome to my channel.

Since Tuesday, I've been busy with work until Thursday, but I'm finally done and have time to study English again. Even though I was only busy during work hours and didn't have to do overtime, I still felt tired after work and didn't have the motivation to study.

I've decided to go to bed at 10 PM and wake up at 6 AM every day. In the mornings, I'll cook, study, and work. By making my own meals and bringing lunch to the office, I can save some money.

Last night, I didn't sleep until 00:30 and got up at 6:30 AM. I didn't take a nap at noon because I had to run some errands. By the afternoon, I felt really tired. Luckily, work wasn't busy, so I was able to nap on the couch for an hour before getting up to write today's video script. This is what I'll be talking about in tonight's video.

Alright, folks. I'll be resuming my study schedule from now on, aiming to study for at least two hours every day.

If you like my video, please give it a thumbs up, leave a comment, save, and share it. See you next time, bye!

Hello, 大家好，我是Ethan，欢迎来到我的频道。

自从周二开始，我一直忙于工作到周四，终于忙完了，今天开始有时间学英语。

虽然我只是上班的时候忙，其实也没有加班，但是下班之后还是会感觉到累，所以没有动力再去学习。

我决定以后每天晚上十点睡觉，早上六点起床，起来做饭、学习、工作等，自己做饭带饭去公司可以省点钱。

昨晚半夜00:30才睡觉，早上六点半就起床了，中午又出去干活没有午休，下午的时候我整个人感觉贼困，还好工作不忙，我可以躺在沙发上睡一个小时，然后起来开始编写我今天的视频脚本。这就是我今天晚上录制视频时要说的话。

好了，兄弟们。我以后就开始恢复学习进度了，每天尽量能学到两个小时以上。

如果你喜欢我的视频，请点赞、评论、收藏、转发。下次见，拜拜！
