How to Change Your Routine in English | Easy English Podcast

<p>Changing a habit is hard, and talking about it in English can feel just as tricky. Sarah and Mike sit down for a slow, honest conversation about trying to change your routine: cutting back on coffee, going to the gym in a dark winter morning, reading instead of scrolling, and what happens when a new habit quietly stops after nine days. This daily English conversation gives you the words you need when a friend asks how your new plan is going and you have to answer truthfully.</p><p><br></p><p>What do you say when someone asks about the habit you started in January and you gave up on it in February? In this friendly English podcast you&#39;ll learn how to use &quot;cut back on&quot; when you are drinking less, how to talk about temptation in the supermarket drinks aisle or in front of a bakery window, the difference between &quot;temporary&quot; and &quot;permanent&quot; changes, and natural replies like &quot;I&#39;m off it this week&quot;, &quot;I fell off it for a bit&quot; and &quot;I&#39;m back on it now&quot;. Sarah and Mike also practise how to deflect a question politely, and how to say something lasted nine days in a row before it started to tail off.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is perfect for B1 English learners who want to talk about their own habits and goals in real conversations, with everyday vocabulary for starting, stopping and restarting a routine.</p><p><br></p><p>💡 Tip: Say one sentence about a habit you&#39;re attempting, out loud, with a real number in it.</p><p><br></p><p>📚 Vocabulary in this episode</p><p>• cut back on: do less of something</p><p>• temptation: something you want but shouldn&#39;t have</p><p>• cold turkey: stopping suddenly and completely</p><p>• abandon: leave something and never go back</p><p>• drastic: very big and very sudden</p><p>• deflect: turn a question away from yourself</p><p>• pin down: get an exact answer from someone</p><p>• ongoing: still happening, not finished</p><p>• temporary: only for a short time</p><p>• permanent: meant to last forever, not just for now</p><p>• tail off: slowly stop, little by little</p><p>• take root: become a normal part of life</p><p>• kick the habit: finally stop a bad habit</p><p>• on autopilot: doing something without thinking</p><p>• lapse into: slide back into an old behavior</p><p>• resume: start again after a stop</p><p>• beat yourself up: blame yourself too much</p><p>• be candid: say the true thing plainly</p><p>• overstate: make it sound bigger than it is</p><p><br></p><p>🎯 In this episode, you can practise:</p><p>• Talking About Habits In English</p><p>• Cut Back On Coffee</p><p>• Going Cold Turkey</p><p>• Describing Your Morning Routine</p><p>• New Year Goals In English</p><p>• Nine Days In A Row</p><p>• Making A Habit Take Root</p><p>• English speaking practice</p><p>• Daily English conversation</p><p>• B1 English vocabulary</p><p><br></p><p>Everyday English Academy is where Sarah and Mike talk slowly and simply about everyday life, so English learners can build listening, speaking, vocabulary and confidence one relaxed conversation at a time.</p><p><br></p><p>Make a cup of tea, sit somewhere comfortable, and listen along with us at an easy pace.</p><p><br></p><p>Try the learning tip today: say one sentence out loud about a habit you&#39;re attempting, with a real number in it, like &quot;I&#39;ve read for twenty minutes, four days in a row.&quot; 🔔 Subscribe to Everyday English Academy and practise with a new easy conversation every week.</p><p><br></p><p>#EasyEnglish #EnglishHabits #DailyRoutine #EnglishVocabulary #B1English #SlowEnglish #LearnEnglish #EnglishListening #EnglishPodcast #ESL #EverydayEnglishAcademy</p>
