How
are
you
today,
Neil?
0:27
I'm
very
well,
thank
you,
Beth.
How
about
you?
0:30
I'm
very
good.
0:31
So
what
topic
are
we
talking
about
in
this
episode?
0:36
OK,
well,
today's
episode
is
all
about
habits
and
routines.
0:42
Now
we
talked
about
our
favourite
foods
a
few
weeks
ago.
0:47
But
today
we'll
talk
about
our
meal
times
and
routines
for
eating.
0:52
Mm,
sounds
good!
0:54
What
do
we
mean
by
a
routine,
Beth?
Is
it
different
to
a
habit?
0:59
Well,
they
are
similar,
but
a
habit
is
something
we
do
regularly.
1:05
So,
for
example,
I
eat
an
apple
and
a
banana
most
days.
1:11
—
Ooh,
very
healthy.
—
Yeah.
1:13
A
routine,
though,
is
slightly
different.
1:16
It's
usually
more
about
the
time
that
we
do
something
and
the
way
we
do
something.
1:22
So,
I
have
my
breakfast
at
6am
every
day.
1:27
OK.
1:29
You
said
you
have
your
breakfast
at
6am
every
day.
1:33
What
do
you
usually
have
to
eat?
1:36
Well,
usually
I
have
something
simple.
1:41
A
bowl
of
cereal,
some
toast
with
marmalade.
1:45
How
about
you,
Beth?
1:47
I
usually
have
porridge.
1:50
And
what
about
lunch?
What
time
do
you
have
lunch,
usually?
1:55
Mm,
I
normally
have
lunch
at
about
one
o'clock.
What
about
you?
2:01
Yeah,
the
same.
I
don't
like
it
at
12.
That's
too
early.
2:05
But
by
two,
I'm
getting
a
little
bit
hungry
and
angry
at
the
same
time!
2:11
There's
a
word
for
that,
Neil.
2:13
So
if
you're
hungry
and
angry,
we
can
combine
them
and
say
'hangry'.
2:18
Yeah.
So
it's
important
to
have
regular
meal
times,
so
you
don't
get
hangry.
2:23
That's
true.
Now
you've
just
reminded
me
of
another
word
which
is
'brunch'.
2:29
Now,
that's
a
combination
of
the
words
'breakfast'
and
'lunch'.
2:34
Do
you
ever
have
brunch,
Neil?
2:36
I
love
brunch,
especially
at
weekends.
2:40
Yeah.
When
I
was
at
university,
I
used
to
have
brunch
pretty
much
every
day.
2:48
So
I
would
meet
up
with
my
friends
2:52
and
we
would
go
to
a
café
and
we
would
have
brunch.
2:57
Beth,
you
said
that
you
used
to
have
brunch
at
university.
3:03
Used
to
—
what's
that
mean?
3:05
Well,
'used
to'
is
used
to
talk
about
a
habit
in
the
past,
3:11
so
something
you
did
regularly
in
the
past
and
don't
do
now.
3:16
Now,
another
way
of
talking
about
past
habits
is
to
use
would.
3:22
So
if
you
remember,
I
said
I
would
message
my
friends
and
we
would
have
brunch.
3:29
So
'used
to'
and
'would'
are
both
used
to
talk
about
past
habits.
3:35
Do
you
ever
miss
a
meal?
3:38
No.
I
think
when
I
was
at
school,
many
years
ago,
3:42
I
used
to
miss
breakfast,
because
I
wanted
to
stay
in
bed.
3:48
What
about
you?
3:49
I
don't
like
to
miss
meals,
because,
like
I
said,
I
get
hangry.
3:50
But
I
guess
I
also
used
to
miss
breakfast
when
I
was
a
teenager
3:56
and
I
needed
to
sleep
for
a
huge
amount
of
time
every
night
and
get
up
really
late.
4:04
Yeah,
I
think
it's
quite
normal
and
quite
interesting
4:10
how
your
habits
change
as
you
get
older.
4:11
For
example,
missing
meals
and
that
sort
of
thing.
4:14
Mm.
4:19
Right,
let's
recap
the
vocabulary
we
learned
during
the
conversation.
4:25
We
learnt
'routine',
'the
time
and
way
we
usually
do
something'.
4:29
We
heard
'used
to'
which
we
use
to
talk
about
'a
habit
in
the
past'
4:34
and
'would',
which
we
can
also
use
to
talk
about
past
habits.
4:40
And
my
favourite
'brunch',
4:45
which
is
'eating
breakfast
and
lunch'
at
the
same
time'.
4:51
We
also
heard
a
really
new
word
in
English,
4:53
which
is
a
combination
of
two
words,
'hungry'
and
'angry'.
4:57
It's
'hangry'.
