advanced English vocabulary morning routines MP3 script british english

Listen to Kat (US) and Mark (UK) talk about their morning routines in advanced, native-speaker English.

Listen and learn new vocabulary, phrases and expressions to take your English to the next level.

Morning Routines are usually one of the first topics you learn in beginner English classes.

“I get up in the morning.” : “I put on my clothes” : “I eat breakfast”

But native speakers often use a completely different way of talking about their mornings. Listen to these advanced English MP3 tracks and see for yourself.

Listen to Kat (USA) and Mark (UK) answer this question:

  • How was your morning?

Transcripts:

Mark: “This morning was fairly ordinary for me. Woke up around 7 with my alarm, hit snooze, as you do, then stayed in bed for a bit, scrolling on my phone. Then, I got up, brushed my teeth, and went to the kitchen. I made some toast and scrambled eggs, and had a cup of tea. After eating, I had a quick shower and got dressed for work. Had a quick look at my emails before I left, and that’s about it, really!”

Kat: : “This morning was pretty standard for me. I woke up around 7am, thanks to my trusty alarm. Hit snooze, of course, and laid in bed for a bit, scrolling through my phone. Eventually, I got up, brushed my teeth, and headed straight to the kitchen. Whipped up some toast and scrambled eggs, and poured myself a fresh cup of coffee. After breakfast, I took a quick shower and then got dressed for the day. Before heading out, I checked my emails one last time. That’s about it, really!”
