A Typical Day.
Good morning, and welcome to today's show.
Our guest is the musician Jim Jones, who agreed to talk to us about a typical day in his life.
Good morning, Jim.
Good morning, Sarah.
And what a beautiful day it is.
Yes, it's a lovely day.
So Jim, tell us what you do when you wake up.
Well, Sarah, firstly, I take a shower.
Then I brush my teeth and hair.
After I get dressed, I always drink a glass of water.
Then I make my way downstairs for breakfast.
That's interesting.
Why do you drink a glass of water?
It's a great way to start the day, and it can help boost your brain.
Then what do you do?
I eat a healthy breakfast, usually oats and fruit.
Do you drink coffee in the morning?
Of course, I drink coffee with my breakfast.
Then I'm ready to head out and enjoy the day.
Where do you usually have lunch?
I usually have lunch at my studio with my colleagues.
I bring my lunch with me from home because otherwise I end up eating junk food.
I often have broccoli and lentils or smoothies.
And how much time do you spend in the studio?
At least six to eight hours a day.
How many times a week do you work out?
I try to work out almost every day.
If I can't find the time, I'll just do five to 10 minutes of push-ups.
What time do you usually go to bed?
I go to bed at about 11 p.m.
every night.
You'll usually find me going with high energy until 11 p.m.
And then the minute I hit the pillow, I'm asleep.
A new job.
Hey, Gene.
I have just heard I've got a new job.
That's great.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
What will you be doing?
I will be working at the new supermarket in town.
Yes, I know the one.
What will you be doing in your job?
I will begin as a cashier.
What does that mean?
I'll be scanning items and taking money from the customers.
You'll be fantastic doing that.
If I do well, I'll have the chance to move to customer services.
What will you be doing there?
That's where I help customers who need help or want to return items.
Perfect.
You're great with people, so I know you'll do really well.
Thank you.
I hope it all goes well.
I'll make sure to come in and buy something.
I look forward to it.
Friends Getting Fit Hey, Brad.
How are you?
Hey, Stan.
I'm great.
Thank you.
You look great.
Have you been exercising more?
Yes.
Last year, I decided to be more fit and healthy.
What did you do?
I started eating better and cutting out the junk.
Oh, yes.
I think I should do that too.
I felt better straight away and made sure I ate lots of fruits and vegetables.
Have you been going to the gym, too?
Yes.
I started running five kilometers first, but then I wanted to build muscle, too, so I became a member at the gym.
It's got a great atmosphere, and everyone is very helpful.
Maybe I will join you.
You should.
You'll start to feel better quickly and have more energy, too.
I'd like that.
When do you train?
I go on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Perfect.
I can join then, too.
Will you show me how to do it?
Of course.
I can help you.
And there are instructors, too.
Brilliant.
I'm looking forward to it.
Me, too.
See you on Monday.
We've finally moved in.
Hi there.
Hi.
I wanted to introduce myself.
We've just moved into the old house next door.
Oh, hi.
It's great to meet you.
My name is Sandy.
It's nice to meet you, too.
My name is Julia.
Welcome to our neighborhood.
How was the move?
Thank you.
It has been hard, but I'm glad we finally moved in.
Yes, I can imagine.
I have three children.
What is there for them to do in this town?
We've always lived here.
It's great for children.
They can walk to school just down the path.
Oh, that's good to know.
There is a park not far away and a shopping center.
My daughter will be happy about that.
She loves shopping.
There's also a skate park and an outdoor swimming pool that children love.
Oh, my son wants to take swimming lessons, so that's perfect.
Behind us is an incredible forest, perfect for exploring.
Wow, that sounds amazing.
I think we'll love living here.
Yes, I'm sure you will.
It's been lovely meeting you.
Hopefully, we can catch up again soon and maybe introduce our children.
That's a brilliant idea.
Bye for now.
Bye.
And good luck unpacking.
Life is not just about studying.
Hey, Riley.
Are you coming to band practice tomorrow?
I'm sorry Jed, but something came up and I can't come any longer.
Oh no!
That's bad!
Why not?
My dad doesn't want me to.
You must be kidding!
But what happened?
He just thinks it'll stop me from studying.
My grades have been dropping from A's to B's lately.
I'm so disappointed and angry.
It's so unfair.
Being in a band makes me happy.
But we need you.
You're the lead guitarist.
We can't play without you.
And you need some time to relax.
It will help you study better.
Life is not just about studying and being at the top in every class.
You need hobbies and passions too.
You're right.
I'll try my luck again tonight, and I'll do my best to convince him this time.
That's a great plan.
Good luck.
Thanks.
You have what it takes.
Please be honest with me, Brandon.
Do you think I've got a chance of being in the team?
I've got myself really worked up about it.
Well, I think you've got a good chance of being selected in the team.
You really think so?
Yes, you'd be good in the team.
You're a great player.
You can control and dribble the ball in tight spaces.
And you can also run very fast.
I think that's amazing.
You have what it takes to be a great player and a great teammate.
Oh, that's music to my ears.
I needed to hear that.
However, I don't want to get your hopes up.
I know Jason and Liam want to get in the team, too.
They're also good players.
Everyone wants to be in the soccer team, and there's only one place, unfortunately.
That's right.
Anyway, you should always look on the bright side.
Just keep at it and strive to improve.
Thanks for the support, bro.
It means a lot.
That's what friends are for.
Emergency calls.
Hey, Sam, you look tired today.
Yeah, I'm exhausted.
Did you have many emergency calls today?
We had five in total, and one was for an accident on the roof of a house.
On the roof?
But what happened?
The caller was very distressed.
Her cat had climbed out of her window and onto the roof of their house.
Oh no, couldn't it get down by itself?
Cats are generally good at getting down from heights.
No, not this time.
It was so high on the roof, but that wasn't all.
Oh, what else happened?
The cat did try to get down, but then it slipped and got its paw stuck under a roof tile.
Oh, poor thing.
But then, the owner saw this and couldn't let their cat fall, so she climbed out of the window as well.
That's so dangerous!
It is, and the owner shouldn't have done it.
What happened next?
Were they okay?
The owner also got stuck and almost fell.
Luckily, we got there when we did.
Did you save them both?
Yes, we used the ladder to climb to the roof and could help them both down.
Thank goodness.
What would you do in my place?
Hey, Mila.
Are you OK?
You look fed up.
Hey, Josh.
I just got the results of last week's test, and I did so badly.
Oh, really?
Yes, I thought I'd get a B, but I got an E. I don't know what to do.
I can't tell mom and dad.
They'll be so disappointed.
Did you prepare for it?
Yes, I spent hours studying, but I was so nervous during the test that my mind went blank.
I completely forgot everything.
It's so frustrating.
I can imagine.
That's really tough.
What would you do in my place?
Well, I'd tell my parents straight away and explain.
Let them know that you put in the hard work.
Then I'd go to the teacher and ask if they can help so I can score better next time.
That's excellent advice.
Mom and Dad won't be happy, but they'll find out anyway.
I'll tell them exactly what happened and that I'll be better prepared in the future.
Great.
Thanks, Josh.
No problem.
I'm having a birthday party.
Hey, Joey.
What are you doing on Saturday?
I don't have anything scheduled yet.
Why?
I'm having a birthday party.
Would you like to come?
It'll be fun.
Yeah, sure, I'd love to.
Where's the party going to be held?
It's going to be at the park.
Really?
That's a good location.
Yeah, the weather forecast says it's going to be a sunny day.
What time does it start?
It starts at 2 p.m., but can you come a little earlier?
Sure, no problem at all.
Do you need any help?
Yes, that'll be great.
I need help unloading things from my car and taking them into the park.
You can count on me.
Great.
Can you be there at 12?
Of course.
Do you need me to bring anything?
Only my birthday present.
Okay, see you at 12.
Do you live around here?
Excuse me, do you live around here?
I'm new in this town and I don't really know my way around, so I need some help with directions.
Yes, sure.
What are you looking for?
Do you know where the train station is?
The train station is only a short walk away.
That's great.
My train is in 15 minutes.
No problem.
You'll be there in plenty of time.
Great.
Take this road and walk past the school.
Then turn left to walk over the bridge.
Then you'll see a signpost for the train station.
Thank you so much.
I must get going.
Of course.
I'm glad I could help.
