lesson 33: Talking About Daily Activities
Basic patterns:
we are you going?
what are you doing now?
I don't have to shave everyday
I usually take too long eating breakfast
if I don't eat breakfast then I don't have enough energy during the day
I've got to go brush my teeth
i dont have time to take a shower now
I never have time for lunch at work
every day I have to drive forty minutes to work
did the mail come today ?
have you seen today's paper ?
i watch the news every night
I like to exercise in the morning
most nights I just go out to eat
did you take the dog for a walk?
did you have a good day at work?
Dialogue 1:
where are you going ?
i'm going to the store, I need to buy some new razor blades
at this hour, it's almost midnight
I know but I have a job interview tomorrow, I'm out of sharp razors
I guess you don't want to make a bad impression with a bad shave
exactly to be honest I hate shaving everyday
I can't sympathize I don't have to shave everyday
some guys don't, they're lucky, I have to or start to look at a bear
maybe you should let yourself look like a bear
very funny ,what kind of job or girlfriend when I get then
that's true but then he wouldn't have to shave everyday
some things are worth the trouble
as long as you're happy I'm happy anyway you'd better go before the store closes
right I'll be back in a little bit
Dialogue 2:
look at the time, it's five minutes past nine
I guess I'm late for work again
I hate to ask but why are you late so often?
if you must know it's because of i usually take too long eating breakfast
really I almost never eat breakfast especially during the week
I don't see how you do that I have to eat breakfast every day
why is it a habit for you
No, if I don't eat breakfast then I don't have enough energy during the day
I guess I'm lucky that I don't have that problem
yes you do, do you notice how tired you get later in the morning ?
that's what I drink coffee to wake me up
that works but its artificial you're not really getting any real energy
maybe but I'm not late for work either
work is not the most important part of life
it is for me I should say that breakfast is a daily habit for you and coffee is a daily habit for me
breakfast is not a habit, it's a healthy way to live
I'd love to talk about this more, but I got to get back to work, we can talk more over coffee later
Dialogue 3
did you check your email today?
no i didn't have time. why ?
our friend Steve just got a new job in Chicago
that's great by the way do you check your email every day?
every morning and night , it's a habit , I like to stay informed
what are you afraid of missing , I doubt your life is that exciting
very funny I'm already on the Internet, why not take an extra minute to look for new email ?
I don't because half of my email is just advertisements. its garbage
mind too but I still like to know what's going on
well then I can count on you to tell me what's happening with their friends
don't worry I won't let you down on that job
I know that's what I think is so funny
Dialogue 4
I thought I saw you out running this morning
you probably did , I was out jogging
that's good you go every morning
I tried to unless the weather is bad or I'm not feeling well
really I never feel well if that means jogging in Sunrise
does that mean you don't enjoy running
it certainly does especially so early
I understand that, it is hard to get out of bed in the morning a lot of times
and why you do it
it's become a habit, I don't feel wake in the morning unless I go running first
I guess I could see how that might be true but I'd rather get a bit more sleep
I have to get up out of bed and start to get dressed before I can think about it
you don't goes off and you get up immediately
yes immediately, otherwise i realize how tired I feel and just fall back asleep
what about when it's cold in the morning
like any other activity I just wear warmer clothes
I guess that makes sense
maybe you should come with me sometime
maybe not you have fun I'll sleep late
Dialogue 5
what are you doing now ?
I'm going home to water my plants
do you have to do that every day ?
of course don't you need water every day?
I hadn't thought of it like that
do you have to do anything else to take care of them ?
not really I just have to give them plenty of sunlight and some plant food
that's not too much work but isn't it hard to do it every day?
sometimes it's not convenient that it's easier than taking care of a child
what does that have to do with the subject?
one day I wanted child if I can take care of a plant how can I take care of a child
so the plant is just practice for raising a child
no not really it's just something I tell myself in order to be responsible
I see well I better not keep you from your plants
you can come with me and see what I have to do
okay this could be fun maybe I'll learn something to
maybe so, let's go

Monologue
electronic mail or email has changed much about the way of the world works
in less than a decade it has become almost as common as the telephone in many areas
in fact it is cheaper in making a long distance call
furthermore it enables people to send more than just words
they can also send pictures songs and even movies
some critics warn that emails cause poor writing skills
people usually do not make an effort to have their emails use correct grammar as they
do with letters
also emails are easy to misunderstand without someone available to explain them
to prevent any misunderstandings some people use little symbols that represent emotions in their emails
this way the reader can know what the speaker was trying to say and how they meant to say it
