Well, hello and welcome to this English lesson about daily routines. Daily routines are all of the things that most people do every day on a regular basis. They’re the things you do from the moment you wake up in the morning until you fall asleep at night. And we’ll talk about those two things as well as we go through this lesson. It’s interesting that as you go through your week and as you go through each day, there are things that you just do repeatedly, regularly, things that you do all the time. Notice I used a number of different ways to describe actions that we just do over and over again as human beings. So, daily routines are all of the things that you do on a regular basis, pretty much every day of your life.

The very first thing you do in the morning is you wake up. When you are asleep and when you go from the process of sleeping to being awake, that is what I call waking up. What time did you wake up this morning? I woke up at 6:30 this morning. So, you’re sleeping, and then when you go from the state of sleep to being in a state of wakefulness (those are big words), we say that you wake up. I usually wake up around 6:30. On the weekends, I wake up around 7 o’clock. That’s what time I usually wake up in the morning. But this is a little bit different for me. There’s a difference between to get up, to get out of bed, and to wake up. So, I wake up but I don’t always get up right away. Sometimes I wake up and I’ll just kind of lay there for a little bit and I’ll think about all of the things I need to do that day. Sometimes I’ll wake up and I’ll look at the clock and I’ll think to myself, “Ah, I’ll get up in five minutes. I’ll just lay here and think for a little bit first.” So, to get up or to get out of bed, that’s the time where you go from being in bed to actually standing up, at least in my opinion.
