Question of the Day: On a typical day, what is your daily routine usually like? (Don't forget to use phrasal verbs!) My answer: Watch this video again if you want to see my answer ;) My favourite part of my daily routine is to chill out with a cup of tea. My favourite tea can be found here: amzn.to/2NmzFdQ
I usually wake up at 8:00 am. Go through the messages and look up something on Facebook to catch up on my friend's news then I get up at 8:15. After I finish my workout I jump in in the morning and make breakfast. I prefer smoothies to a fry-up meal, It makes my stomach comfortable when I eat something light and more energy in the morning. I don't have had many friends since I came here. On the weekend I usually go to the market with my husband. We spend time hanging out, cooking, and enjoying the day. Wish you have a wonderful day Jen ❤️.
This is amazing Jen! I'm so impressed by your stock of junk food, including Japanese candy and imported goods! Which one is your favourite? Your ability to connect phrasal verbs is unmatched!
Hi Rebecca 👋 Thanks for watching and for your very kind comment. ☺️ The answer is always chocolate 🍫 lol. I especially love Lindt dark chocolate. As for Japanese snacks you should try Amanoya kabuki age senbei, they are my fav! I also love things with matcha. I really love Tohato 'caramel corn', but not the caramel flavour, I love the curry flavour, 4 cheese flavour, matcha flavour, and peanut flavour. Oh man, I want to eat snacks now, lol. Do you have a favourite snack?
I am so glad to hear that this video is useful for you to remember / refresh your English. 😃 I hope you enjoyed your time studying in Toronto. How long were you here for?
Thank you for watching and for your nice comment. 🤗 I am so glad to hear that you found this lesson on phrasal verbs helpful.✨ I've put together a playlist of phrasal verb lessons which I hope you'll also find useful: ru-vid.com/group/PLktdXyVCSbc-5jOeqWjRw5ehoGc8p3vRm
Usually, I don't sleep in on weekdays because I need to go to my school. When the alarm goes off, I wake up and go through the email box and text messages. Then, I get up and put on cloth from nightwear. If I have time, I cook the breakfast, but if not, I just whip something to eat up. Anyway, breakfast is essential for me to perk up myself. This is my morning routine. On the weekend, on the other hand, I sometimes sleep in. I clean up my room and do homework. If I have a plan to hang out with my friends, I pop into the store to pick up something interesting for them.
Great video Jen! Love it! Basically my daily routine, nowadays, has been pretty lame. I wake up early with the dog barking, then I go through some messages and Instagram, then I make coffee and through together some food for the breakfast. After this I always read a chapter or two of my book ( in English ) and then I spend some time preparing lunch. After all tidy up I go back to my estudies where I always watch some of your videos. A light and refreshing walk through the neighbourhood is my way to start to chill out and then wrap up. A nice movie or serie is the perfect way to me to doze off.
Hi Matheus 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to respond to question of the day and use so many great phrasal verbs, including 'wrap up' which wasn't included in this lesson 👍🏻 Due to the current situation in the world, your daily routine actually sounds more exciting than many other people's routines these days 😆. It's great to see that you are spending signifiant time reading and studying English. ☺️ (PS. Throw together, not through together. And a movie or series is the perfect way FOR me to doze off 😉)
These are excellent, Jen. I'm using this with my online students. Phrasal verbs are so challenging. I was thinking about "take off" and how we also use it in another context, that being leaving, like a plane, for instance!✈
Hi Barbara ☺️ Thank you for your comment. I am so happy to hear that this lesson is able to help you and your students. 👍🏻 Phrasal verbs are so difficult for students, and the fact that many of them also have multiple meanings is definitely confusing. (Actually, I made a lesson about 14 different ways we use the phrasal verb 'come out' in English: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lH6d8WlCjJU.html) You might be interested in my playlist of several phrasal verb lessons which I have created. Hopefully some of these lessons will also help you and your students: ru-vid.com/group/PLktdXyVCSbc-5jOeqWjRw5ehoGc8p3vRm I wish you and your students all the best. 🌸
Thank you so much, Jen. I will check out the other videos also! Oops! I clicked the three dots and saw the option of "Report" but I sure didn't click it so I hope it didn't register wrongly! I will keep following you here.
It's nice to know that we have similar taste in junk food. 😎 I love chocolate and ice cream, but Japanese food, including sweets and snacks is the best in my opinion. 👍🏻 What's your favourite Japanese snack?
JeN's Jyugyou / ジェンの授業 I love Japanese donut, gram, Osaka cheese cake ( put a old man 👴 icon on it ) and all ice creams , I love Vanilla flavor! I always bought a lot of snakes when I left Japan😬Do u love to eat kaiseki-ryōri? I love they look small and artistically!
@@JoJo-oi6dy I am so hungry reading your comment now, lol! 😋 Kaiseki-ryouri is expensive, but incredible! My husband and I took a weekend trip to Aizu (in Fukushima prefecture) and stayed at a ryokan with outdoor onsen. After enjoying the relaxing onsen on top of a mountain with a beautiful view, we had amazingly delicious kaiseki-ryouri made mostly with local ingredients. It is an experience I will always treasure.❤️ It seems we have a shared passion for Japan and all it's food. How many times have you been to the Land of the Rising Sun? Also, I wonder if there are any Japanese foods that you dislike? 🤓
JeN's Jyugyou / ジェンの授業 Let me check what is is meant first! Olsen Ryokan is a hotel right? I haven’t ever go to Fukushima prefecture! I had a set lunch cost 5000 yen in Osaka one years ago. I don’t like oily and too spicy food! I love go to see Sakura and wear kimono in Osaka and see snow in Hokkaido! And love the blooming in Tokyo! I haven’t ever think I can go to see the rising sun because I love to sleep in the morning😅
@@JoJo-oi6dy 😊 An onsen is a natural hot spring bath, and a ryokan is a traditional Japanese style inn. Fukushima prefecture was right beside the prefecture I lived in, Tochigi prefecture, so it was easy to visit for a weekend and come back. ⛰ 🍱 5000 yen is rather expensive, but I imagine that the food would have been super delicious. 😋 I also don't like spicy food, or food that is too oily. We have quite a few things in common, eh. 😄 🚞 So you've been to Osaka, Tokyo, and Hokkaido. Next time you go to Japan I recommend visiting Nikko in Tochigi prefecture. There are many beautiful and historic shrines and temples, plus wild monkeys, and stunning scenery. Nikko is only a short train ride from Tokyo. 👍🏻 ☀️ Oh, and 'Land of the Rising Sun' is Japan's nick-name in English. So in my response I didn't actually mean that you should wake up early and watch the sun come up, I was just asking how many times you have visited Japan? 🇯🇵
@@JeNsJyugyou because I think it's too much words or phrasal verbs and I wanna use them in my day to day life and I don't want to forget them after a weak. This is my personal opinion and I still like your videos so much.
Hi Nejla 🌸. Thanks for your kind words ☺️. Hopefully this lesson on phrasal verbs for daily routines has been helpful for you to improve talking about your routines. I also recently made a grammar lesson about how to use 'before' and 'after' to talk about daily routines which you may find helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LL02D1YRlb4.html 🤗
That's so kind of you to say, Franz ☺️. Even if RU-vid's algorithm doesn't share my videos as much as I wish, I am still grateful that I am able to help at least some people who watch them 🤗.
Thanks for your comment. Sorry, I just saw it now. Whoa, the subjunctive! That is a difficult grammar point indeed. It may take a while, but I will definitely work on creating a lesson to tackle this. Thanks for the suggestion. ☺️
Hello Farnaz! ☺️ I have just uploaded a lesson on the subjunctive mood that I hope will help you. Thank you for your request❤️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QgN7VX1qn-o.html
Thanks so much, Sandy 🤗. I still have a lot to learn and improve on in terms of editing, but I hope the actual content will help students as they learn and improve their English. 😎😉
Hi Jen🤗 In the meantime, if I can't find a worthwhile movie to watch, I'll just need to watch one of your videos, and that's much more entertaining than most boring Hollywood productions. And you are even capable of making me laugh. For example, in this part of the video: "Maybe I hit snooze a couple of times, but eventually I wake up".😂😂 By the way, the average life of the battery can gradually shorten if the cell phone is plugged in while in use.🙈🙉🙊
Hi Amir 😊 That is a very high compliment and I thrilled to hear you enjoy my English lessons so much 🤩. I am so happy you like my sense of humour, too 😁. Thanks for the advice about cellphone battery life. I've gotten a new cellphone since this video was filmed and I try not to use it while it's charging... try being a key word 😅.
Thanks for your comment, Kulal 🤗 I am glad to hear that you enjoy my videos and I hope that they will help you to continue improving. Unfortunately, I don't have a PDF copy of the lesson, but there is a list of all the phrasal verbs from this lesson in the description. In addition, since you mentioned difficulty speaking fluently, I would like to recommend my lesson about 3 Tips to improve your English speaking: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t3SSoQbleBI.html I hope that helps ☺️
Good video teacher. I have a question. Should I say I hop in the bus or jump in the bus or pop into the bus to go to school on the morning? Please help!
Thanks for your comment and question. 'Pop into' is not correct because this phrasal verb means to visit a place for a short time and you're not visiting the bus, you're using the bus to get from one place to another. The best choice would be 'hop on' or 'jump on.' For public transportation like buses, airplanes etc, we use the preposition 'on' instead of 'in'. 'In' is usually used with private transportation like a car or a taxi. In summary, you should say, "I hop on the bus to get to school in the morning." or "I jump on the bus in the morning to get to school."
My phone goes off at 6:30 AM I'm a morning person so I can wake up and get up Immediately, I can't jump into the bathroom with an empty stomach so before bathroom I need to perk up plus whip up myself I sit down to eat my breakfast after washing up my self I put on my clothes and walk up to the nearby metro station, for jumping into the train, when I arrive at my workplace first I clean up the shop, then I turn on my laptop to check up my email. fast forward after a full day I came back home before wrapping up the day I meet up with my family and then I'm ready to turn off the light and doze off very tired.
@@English_takeaways Yeah, that's a good way to explain it. 👍🏻 If you catch someone up on something it basically means that you filling them in on (letting them know information about) something that they have missed or don't know about yet. For example: If my friend and I are in the same class at university together, but she becomes ill and unable to attend a few lectures, then I would catch her up on what happened in class. This means I would inform her about the information from our professor that she'd missed during her absence.
Thank you for watching and for your comment. I lived in Japan teaching English for four years, but now I am back in Canada teaching international students here. Someday I'd like to visit China as I have tutoring students on Skype who are from China and have told me that I should travel there.
@@JeNsJyugyou Hi, Jen. I love watching your videos! Not only because of beautiful Jen, but wonderful lessons as well! Looking forward to watching more.
Thank you for your feedback about the background music being too loud music 🎶 . This is one of my older English lessons so I believe I have fixed this issue in my newer videos😎. Hopefully this phrasal verb lesson was still helpful 😅.
Hello Christy. 😎 Actually there is a really good reason why you couldn't catch what I said at the beginning of this lesson and that's because I was speaking Japanese 😅. When I first started my RU-vid channel I was mainly focusing on helping Japanese people improve their English, but now I focus on helping ALL people improve their English. Since this is one of my very early videos it still has a Japanese greeting at the beginning of the lesson. I just said "Hello everyone" in Japanese 🇯🇵. Sorry for the confusion. 💐
Thanks for your comment. The subtitles and other text in this video seem very clear to me. Did you mean that you want a lesson about writing clearly? All of these phrasal verbs are used in both speaking and writing. You might also find my punctuation lesson helpful for improving your writing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bpeGTpRmmUM.html
JeN's Jyugyou / ジェンの授業 let the writing be clear because I follow you from Iraq and I’m Arabic not English and I want to learn from you more and more I found you as a very good teacher
Each night Im used to stealing food from the fridg and stock up them under my bed 😅😅😅😅 untill one day my fother my descovred the that and got furies even he fired me from the house😂😂😂😂
Hello Abrasou 😁 What an interesting comment...and a strange thing to do😅 I'd like to teach you another useful phrasal verb. In English we only use 'be fired' when talking about a job. In the situation you described, you should use the phrasal verb 'kicked out'. To kick someone out means to force them to leave a place. Actually, I made a lesson about this phrasal verb and other phrasal verbs using the verb 'kick' which I think you'd enjoy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HfdbYhPH8KM.html
