【一起闲话英语】早起后都做什么-Morning Routine

 Akane, Canada

speaker What is a typical morning for you? A typical morning for me involves getting up with the alarm clock, turning on the news, taking a shower, and I make toast everyday, but I don't have a toaster so I have to toast my toast on the frying pan¹ and then flip² it over to the other side and then I put margarin on it and a slice of cheese and I have that with a cup of tea every morning.

 

Martin, United³ States

speaker A typical morning for me is generally getting up, turning on the computer and reading the news. After that I take a shower like everybody else, shave, and then have to have my coffee and my yogurt, and then maybe a quick 5, 10 minute workout and off to work I go.

 

Naomi, Australia

Mark, United States

speaker A typcial morning for me? I guess like anyone else, I wake up. I usually don't eat breakfast right away, but I get a shower and get dressed for work and usually grab⁵ a quick breakfast on my way out the door. That's typical morning on the week. On the weekend, I used to sleep in but actually these day, I like to get up earlier on the weekend, than during the week because I feel that's my one free day, so I get up pretty early and usually go do something on that Saturday or Sunday.

 

Jeanie, United States

speaker OK, a typical morning for me is pretty hectic⁶. It usually involves squeezing⁷ too many things in too little time. Ah, usually I wake up and I go running. After which, I have to take a shower and prepare myself for classes I'll be teaching⁸, not just for one day, but mostly for the whole week, reviewing things that have gone wrong, and things that can maybe be improved.
