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. 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'll learn how to use "cut back on" 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 "temporary" and "permanent" changes, and natural replies like "I'm off it this week", "I fell off it for a bit" and "I'm back on it now". 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. 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. 💡 Tip: Say one sentence about a habit you're attempting, out loud, with a real number in it. 📚 Vocabulary in this episode • cut back on: do less of something • temptation: something you want but shouldn't have • cold turkey: stopping suddenly and completely • abandon: leave something and never go back • drastic: very big and very sudden • deflect: turn a question away from yourself • pin down: get an exact answer from someone • ongoing: still happening… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/everyday-english-academy-7784342/episodes/how-to-change-your-routine-in-english-easy-english-podcast/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/everyday-english-academy-7784342/how-to-change-your-routine-in-english-easy-english-podcast.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
