A1-A2 英语学习系列 第三集

Hello and welcome to this slow English listening for beginners.  
Today's topic is my daily routine.  
After the story, I will ask you some questions to check on your understanding.  
Don't worry if you don't understand everything – just focus on the key information.  
Are you ready? Let's begin.  

My name is Emma.  
I'm 40 years old and today I'm going to tell you about a typical day in my life.  
I have a simple routine, but I like it.  

I wake up at 7 in the morning.  
I don't like waking up early, but I have to because I have a busy day.  
The first thing I do is turn off my alarm and get out of bed.  
I go to the bathroom, wash my face, and brush my teeth.  
After that, I get dressed.  
I usually wear comfortable clothes because I work from home.  
I work on my computer all day.  

At 7:30, I go downstairs to have breakfast.  
I like to eat something light and healthy.  
I usually have cereal with milk and a cup of coffee.  
Sometimes I eat toast with jam, and sometimes I have an apple.  
Breakfast is very important to me – it gives me energy for the entire day.  

At 8, I start working.  
I check my emails and answer some messages from my colleagues.  
I work as a freelance writer, so I write articles for different companies.  
It's a nice job and I enjoy it.  

At half past 12, I have a break and have lunch.  
I don't eat a big lunch – just something small like a salad or a sandwich.  
After lunch, I like to take a short walk outside to get some fresh air.  
It helps me feel relaxed and ready for the afternoon.  

In the afternoon, I work until 4.  
After that, I spend time with my family.  
At 6:00, I start preparing dinner.  
I like to cook and try to make tasty meals for my family.  
Tonight I'm making pasta with tomato sauce.  

After dinner, I clean the kitchen and then try to relax.  
I usually read a book or watch TV.  
At 9, I help my children get ready for bed.  
I read a story to them, and then they go to sleep.  
After that, I spend some time with my husband.  
We talk about our day or watch a movie together.  
I go to bed at 10:30.  
I need a good night's sleep because I have another busy day tomorrow.
