Бет
Welcome to Real Easy English, the podcast where we have real conversations in easy English to help you learn. I'm Beth.
Нил
And I’m Neil. If you want to read along with this podcast, you can find a full transcript on our website: bbclearningenglish.com.
Бет
How are you today, Neil?
Нил
I'm very well, thank you, Beth. How about you?
Бет
I'm very good.
Нил
So what topic are we talking about in this episode?
Бет
OK, well, today's episode is all about habits and routines. Now we talked about our favourite foods a few weeks ago. But today we'll talk about our meal times and routines for eating.
Нил
Mmm… sounds good. What do we mean by a routine, Beth? Is it different to a habit?
Бет
Well, they are similar, but a habit is something we do regularly. So, for example. I eat an apple and a banana most days.
Нил
Ooh, very healthy.
Бет
Yeah!
Нил
A routine, though, is slightly different. It's usually more about the time that we do something and the way we do something. So, I have my breakfast at six am every day.
Бет
OK, you said you have your breakfast at six am every day. What do you usually have to eat?
Нил
Well, usually I have something simple. A bowl of cereal, some toast with marmalade.
How about you, Beth?
Бет
I usually have porridge.
Нил
And what about lunch? What time do you have lunch, usually?
Бет
I normally have lunch at about one o'clock. What about you?
Нил
Yeah, the same. I don't like it at 12. That's too early. But by two, I'm getting a little bit hungry and angry at the same time.
Бет
There's a word for that Neil. So if you're hungry and angry, we can combine them and say hangry.
Нил
Yeah. So it's important to have regular meal times, so you don't get hangry.
Бет
That's true. Now you've just reminded me of another word which is brunch. Now, that's a combination of the words breakfast and lunch. Do you ever have brunch, Neil?
когда-нибудь ешь бранч, Нил?
Нил
I love brunch, especially at weekends.
Бет
Yeah. When I was at university, I used to have brunch pretty much every day. So I would meet up with my friends and we would go to a cafe and we would have brunch.

Нил
Beth, you said that you used to have brunch at university. Used to - what's that mean?
Бет
Well, used to is used to talk about a habit in the past, so something you did regularly in the past and don't do now.
Now, another way of talking about past habits is to use would. So if you remember, I said I would message my friends and we would have brunch. So used to and would are both used to talk about past habits.
Нил
Do you ever miss a meal?
Бет
No. I think when I was at school, many years ago, I used to miss breakfast because I wanted to stay in bed. What about you?
Нил
I don't like to miss meals because, like I said, I get hangry. But I guess I also used to miss breakfast when I was a teenager and I needed to sleep for a huge amount of time every night and get up really late.
Бет
Yeah, I think it's quite normal and quite interesting how your habits change as you get older. For example, missing meals and that sort of thing.
Нил
Right, let's recap the vocabulary we learned during the conversation.
Бет
We learnt routine, the time and way we usually do something.
Нил
We heard used to which we use to talk about a habit in the past and would, which we can also use to talk about past habits.
Бет
And my favourite brunch, which is eating breakfast and lunch at the same time.
Нил
We also heard a really new word in English, which is a combination of two words, hungry and angry. It's hangry.
Бет

Нил
In the next episode we'll be talking more about our hobbies.
Бет
See you, then. Bye.
Нил
Bye!

ALL EARS (to be all ears)
[ɔːl ˈɪəz]
Весь во внимании
(досл. быть целиком ушами)
💡 Definition:
To show a keen interest
Определение:
Проявлять большой интерес
💡 Example:
“I’m all ears!” Karen said to her sister, sensing there was some juicy gossip to be heard.
Пример:
«Я вас слушаю!» - сказала Карен своей сестре, чувствуя, что есть какая-то интересная сплетня.
💡 Origin:
‘All ears‘ first appeared in print in the eighteenth century. Its origin is purely descriptive. As we use our ears to hear, and most of our communication is done verbally, to be ‘all ears’ means to focus all your attention on hearing what is being said.
Происхождение:
Фраза «вecь во внимании» впервые появилась в печати в восемнадцатом веке. Её происхождение сугубо описательное. Поскольку мы используем наши уши, чтобы слышать, а большая часть нашего общения происходит в устной форме, быть «целиком ушами» значит сосредоточить всё своё внимание на том, что говорится.
