Routines

2009年11月28日

Hi everyone!

In beginner class we talked about morning routines (朝のいつもの手順).  What is your morning routine?

First, I go to the washroom and brush my teeth.
Then, I make a cup of Blue Mountain Coffee
After that, I play on the computer while drinking coffee.
Finally, I get changed and leave home.

Right after (直後)
Right after I wake up, I brush my teeth.

Right before (直前)
Right before leaving home, I get dressed.

Some tricky vocabulary:
着替え - get dressed / get changed (change my clothes)
メイクをする - put on makeup (make up)
えさをあげる - feed my cat (give my cat food)

Some interesting things I learned about your morning routines:

  • Most Japanese people brush their teeth after eating breakfast.

  • Many people drink coffee in the morning because it helps them wake up

  • Some people wash their hair in the sink.

  • High school students usually check their cell phone first thing in the morning


In intermediate class we talked about change.


  • Are you satisfied with life the way it is now?

  • Or do you feel something is missing?

  • Would you like to change something about your life?




I think the way people think about change is very interesting.  Some people are very conservative and try to avoid any kind of change.  Some people actually like change because it makes their life more exciting.   They don’t like routine life, because it’s too boring and stale.



Some vocabulary we learned this week:

stale
unwind
wind up
handle
deal with
