原版英语口语情景对话第0344集：介绍日常作息规律.doc

1、Eli在日本的生活规律和从前在英国时不一样，听她自己讲讲吧。Eli: At the moment Im living in Japan and life here is pretty different to anything Ive really experienced before. I think just because the daily routine is so different. In England, basically I was really lazy. Id probably get up at you know 8:30 in the morning. Leave

2、ten minutes later, cause I always brush my teeth at work, eat breakfast at work, get to work for 9 oclock, come home from work at 5:30, probably lie on the sofa, watch the Simpsons, cook some food, go to bed, and that was the sort of daily routine in England, a very lazy one. I mean, even if I neede

3、d to get to the supermarket which was probably what, like 3-400 meters away, Id get on my scooter to do it. Walking anywhere would be just a massive hassle and so it was a bit of a shock when I got to Japan and all that changed, I mean, the one thing you have to do a lot of in Tokyo is walk. You hav

4、e to walk everywhere. I mean the train systems are absolutely amazing but you need to walk to get to the train. You need to walk between the trains and like when I first arrived, I walked my feet into the ground. After a week they were aching so badly after two weeks. They were just I dont know, it

5、took me at least a month to like wear my feet in. Theyre still, still like now, after long walks, but its just apart from the walking, you just, its just a business of life here, I mean cause no one actually lives in Tokyo cause its so expensive.We all live out sort of in the suburbs in what we call

6、 bed towns, and so actually getting into school every morning, Im studying Japanese here, I have to get up pretty early just to get onto the train, to then travel, commute, an hour in, to get to school on time, which of course I never do. Im meant to be at school at about nine, which would mean, sor

7、t of leaving my house at about 8, getting up at 7. I know this is not shocking for a lot of people, but after the routine I had, its a pretty shocking experience for me, especially the hour of commuting on the train where youre kept in like sardines, you just would never have in sort of London and L

8、ondon underground in England where Im from. On the London Undeground if the trains full people wait for the next train. Here if the train is full, people just push and push until they get on so you can end up being stood, never get to sit down, just standing for an hour, like squashed up, like sardines, so by the time you get to school youre totally tired and then theres a school until lunch time and after lunch I always say Im going to come back and study but I never do I always come back and fall fast asleep.
