Power Warm-up: Becoming a Morning Person: You Need a Morning Routine
Randy successfully tries some of Kirstina’s suggestions to get to sleep earlier. He still has a hard time getting out of bed in the morning because he doesn’t have a routine.
Kristen: Hi, everyone. I’m Kristen Cho.
Cameron: I am Cameron Word.
Kristen: Why are you smiling?
Cameron: I win your smiling.
Kristen: With your smiling.
Cameron: Uh…
Kristen: The world smiles with you.
Cameron: No, actually, what happened, you know as you get old, your body just starts making weird noises?
Kristen: Oh, really?
Kristen: Yeah, what kind of noises?
Cameron: So right now, I don’t know, I was on the microphone, my throat made weird noises, like… It’s like my throat was hungry. Sort of that sort of sound. I don’t know why. But it was just making a noise. So I smiled because I’m like, haha, my body is falling apart.
Kristen: It’s falling apart. So is my body. Actually, sometimes these mysterious things happen out of nowhere. Like, you didn’t eat anything weird. You didn’t do anything. And it’s just like… Yeah, it’s not… Like, you’re… Where is it?
Cameron: What is it? Like, it’s not… I would understand if it was, like, gas. You know how, like, if you have gas in, like, your stomach sometimes… you get a… sound? Yeah. But it’s not even that. It’s just, like, my body…
Kristen: My joints sometimes creak.
Cameron: It’s just like an old computer.
Kristen: Oh my gosh.
Cameron: Doesn’t it sound like an old computer just makes some weird noises sometimes?
Kristen: Yeah. So you just have to accept it. Don’t try to figure it out. Just let it be.
Cameron: Just pray.
Power Expressions
Kristen: Okay. All right. So becoming a morning person, you need a morning routine. Okay. I want to, like I said, I want to become a morning person, but it’s not easy.
Cameron: Mm-hmm. You needed to just like have someone go in in the morning and throw cold water on your face.
Kristen: Oh,
Cameron: (Whisper) I’ve had my pare(nt) my mom did it to me all the time.
Kristen: No. She threw cold water on your face?.
Cameron: She was a little angry at me.
Kristen: No. What?
Cameron: Okay, ’cause we, on the weekends, we had a time we had to get up by, and then I didn’t get up by. And like, she woke me up, and then I went back to sleep. So then, the second time, she just threw water on me. Yeah. Have you ever, you’ve never had that happen?
Kristen: No! Are you kidding? No. It’s… No one has ever done that.
Cameron: The quickest way to wake up.
Kristen: Oh
Cameron: It’s also the worst way.
Kristen: If I did that to my son, he would literally kill me.
Cameron: Oh, that was not an option in my family. Not an option.
Kristen: Not an option. Alright, here are some expressions that we’re going to cover. Throw off.
Cameron: To throw off, in this case, means that you are confusing someone, you’re tricking someone.
Kristen: Ah, throw someone off.
Kristen: How about if you do something last minute?
Cameron: At the last possible time to do something, right before a deadline,
Kristen: Okay, and a head start.
Cameron: This means you get an advantage, and it could be an actual time advantage. You start before someone else. Or it just means that you are already further along.
Kristen: Got it. Right.
Cameron: Okay. Like you get to start at a shorter distance.
Kristen: All right, let’s go ahead and listen to our dialogue.
Power Dialog
Randy: Hey, Kristina. Your tips really helped me get to sleep earlier. But I had trouble getting out of bed.
Kristina: I think your body was thrown off by the sudden change in your schedule.
Randy: Yeah, I stayed in bed until the last minute.
Kristina: If you want to get a head start on your day, you also need a morning routine.
Randy: I usually turn off my alarm and go back to sleep.
Kristina: Tonight, leave your alarm in another room. You’ll have to get out of bed when it starts beeping.
Kristen: Okay, so Randy begins by saying, Hey Kristina, your tips really helped me to get to sleep earlier, but I had trouble getting out of bed. And don’t we all have trouble getting out of bed? Okay, we can wake up, but get out of bed is a different story.
Cameron: Story right to get up I mean I have to wake up just means that you’ve opened your eyes right? But to actually get out of bed put your feet on the floor stand up that’s that’s the toughest process.
Kristen: When you wake up, do you get out of bed like immediately or do you just kind of like, and then you get up, you know, maybe a half hour or one hour later?
Cameron: I usually, if I have my, I put my alarm on my phone, and usually I put my phone in my living room. So unless I get up, it’s going to continue to go.
Kristen: Oh, smart.
Cameron: So I have to like force myself.
Kristen: To turn off that alarm.
Cameron: But the days when I’m like, especially the weekends if I’m lazy, yeah, I can stay in bed.
Kristen: Sure.
Cameron: Yeah. And at last Simba really has to go bathroom, and I have to wake up.
Kristen: Okay, oh boy. Kristina says, I think your body was thrown off by the sudden change in your schedule. This is a great expression, to be usually thrown off.
Cameron: Yes. Okay.
Kristen: So you can also describe this for yourself. Your body was thrown off. I was thrown off. And what does this mean?
Cameron: So to be thrown off means to be confused, especially in this case. And it’s the feeling that there is a rhythm, but something happens where you get out of rhythm. You get off rhythm.
Cameron: You aren’t able to function like you normally would. So that’s being thrown off.
Kristen: Yes. I almost feel, because really, if you’re thrown off physically, what happens, Cameron?
Cameron: So it’s like one of those… It’s like you’re riding a bull. At a rodeo. And the cowboy’s riding, and then he falls off the bull. You would say, the bull threw off the cowboy. Or cowgirl. And so that means you literally are no longer… sitting or standing on that thing. But here, it’s kind of like, there’s this rhythm that you know is going to happen, and then because it stops, you just.
Kristen: Yeah.
Cameron: Right? Yeah. So you can be thrown off. I think a great way to think of this is like if you’re singing together and one person is a really bad singer. You’re usually a really good singer. But when someone beside you is singing the wrong note, it can throw you off. You mess up because someone else messed up.
Kristen: Messed up yeah yeah totally. so it’s like you’re going your right course and something disrupts that course okay Randy says.
Cameron: Yeah, I stayed in bed until the last minute.
Kristen: So if you do something to the last minute, what are you doing?
Cameron: You are doing that thing until, honestly, you can’t do it anymore. To the last possible moment, until the deadline. So if Randy needs 15 minutes to get ready, like the minimum, brush his teeth, do his hair, get clothes on, out the door, he’s waiting until the last 15 minutes before he has to leave.
Kristen: If you do anything last minute it means that you’re waiting until the very end until you absolutely have to do it. And Kristina says, if you want to get a head start on your day, you also need a morning routine. So if you get a head start or you want a head start, a head start, we know what a start is. You begin something. But why do we put H-E-A-D, head start, there?
Cameron: So a head start means an early start or it can mean to have an advantage, right? So head start here maybe isn’t about starting earlier, but starting in a way that is more efficient or better so you can go faster. Right?
Kristen: right.
Cameron: So a head start in this case is talking about a morning routine. Yeah, having a routine means that you can do things faster because you do the same thing every day. Yeah.
Kristen: This expression always reminds me of an endearing situation where you have your child have a head start like, let’s race, you know, and the mom or the dad. And of course, they’re going to win. But you let the child have the head start. You know, and then you start running.
Cameron: The child goes first, right?
Kristen: Right. Okay. Routine?
Cameron: Routine is something that you do regularly. And in this case, it’s a morning routine. So it’s the things that you would do every morning. I guess technically, most likely every workday morning. Your morning routine might be different on Saturdays and Sundays. But, you know, waking up, getting coffee, eating breakfast, brushing your teeth.
Kristen: Take a hour, put on the makeup. Go to work.
Kristen: Yeah. And Randy says, I usually turn off my alarm and go back to sleep.
Cameron: Ah, yes.
Kristen: Okay. Which is Kristina says?
Cameron: Tonight, leave your alarm in another room. You’ll have to get out of bed when it starts beeping.
Kristen: You’ll have to do something is our power path.
Cameron: You’ll have to. So this is about in the future, but it’s also kind of conditional, right? So this is like, if you do this, you will have to.
Kristen: Okay. So you’ll have to hear he says or she says you’ll have to get out of bed when it starts beeping. So, this is something that you need to do in the future to become a morning person.
Cameron: Yeah, definitely.
Kristen: All right, let’s listen to that dialogue one more time.
Randy: Hey, Kristina. Your tips really helped me get to sleep earlier. But I had trouble getting out of bed.
Kristina: I think your body was thrown off by the sudden change in your schedule.
Randy: Yeah, I stayed in bed until the last minute.
Kristina: If you want to get a head start on your day, you also need a morning routine.
Randy: I usually turn off my alarm and go back to sleep.
Kristina: Tonight, leave your alarm in another room. You’ll have to get out of bed when it starts beeping.
Power Note
1. Throw off someone: 을 혼란스럽게 하다. 헷갈리게 하다.
Kristen: Okay, let’s do a quick review. We’re on pages 94 and 95. To be thrown off or to throw off someone means to confuse someone or distract them. They’re like concentrating, but you’re distracting them.
1)
A: Your comment about my muscles really threw me off.
B: Well, I appreciate a fit man, so I thought I should tell you.
Kristen: Okay, so like, so you’re telling me, wow, like you got like great muscles, you know, like you really fit, you know, like nice. And then I’ll say like, oh, that kind of threw me off. Like I, it means that you didn’t think of yourself that way and you were taken by surprise. Yes. Okay.
2) Molly’s strange behavior threw her parents off.
Yeah. So Molly seemed normal, but all of a sudden she started acting strange. So the parents were thrown off, meaning they were confused. They were like, wait a second. Something’s what’s going on. Yeah.
Cameron: What? What? Huh?
Kristen: It’s not the normal behavior.
Cameron: Yeah. Yes. I mean, I think as a parent, I mean, you know this more than me probably. When your child starts to act weird. Right. But you don’t just act them. Ask them.
Kristen: Uh-huh.
Cameron: Directly right, but you’re in your mind. You’re thinking why’d they do that? Yeah, what’s going on?
Kristen: Why is he talking like that?
Cameron: What happened at school? Huh? He usually eats all of his potatoes, but he didn’t eat his potatoes.
Kristen: Yeah. I mean, you see, the second my son stops complaining and he becomes quiet, I would be very thrown off.
Cameron: Yeah.
Kristen: I’d be like, wait a second, what’s going on? Why is he not talking? Why is he not saying anything? Why is he not complaining about the food?
Cameron: Or like for some people, it’s like, why are they being nice to me? Why are they, why are they smiling? What’s going on?
Kristen: Yeah, you’re thrown off because it is not their normal, typical behavior.
Cameron: So it’s something weird that happens…
Kristen: Unusual.
Cameron: You lose focus.
Kristen: Yeah.
Cameron: You have to think about that because it’s… Huh? What?
Kristen: Right you’re thrown off .
2. last minute: 막판, 최후의 순간
Oay great um if you do something last minute okay this is right before the deadline yes or the time that you have to do something.
1)
A: I have so many things to do before our trip uh dentist appointment hair cut.
B: Why do you always wait until the last minute to do these things?
Kristen: You know, waiting till the last minute. You should just memorize the whole thing.
Cameron: Waiting till the last minute.
Kristen: You always wait until the last minute. Why do you do this until the last minute?
Cameron: Mm-hmm.
2) I filed my taxes at the last minute.
Cameron: Doesn’t everybody?
Kristen: Yeah. For sure.
Cameron: Oh, yeah. I think and this might be something that many Koreans don’t know because many Korean companies do it for them.
Kristen: Yeah.
Cameron: But if you are a freelancer or like us Americans, Mm-hmm. You’re required to do the taxes yourself. And there’s deadline and everyone waits till very last day. To put in all those numbers, find out what receipts it.
Kristen: It’s awful. Yes. So, Cameron, are you the type of person who likes to wait until the last minute? Because there are people who like to be prepared or who like to, you know, start early. What kind of person are you?
Cameron: I mean, I guess it depends on what it is. I don’t often like having to make a decision last minute. So, for example, any time I’ve gone traveling or I’ve had to make a big purchase or something like that, or organize a party with other people, I would rather just make the decision now. Get it over with. Even if it’s not the perfect decision. Even if it’s not, I don’t have all the information. But I have some friends. They’re like, well, I don’t know. We still have time. Can we just like wait a little bit more and see if we like learn some new information to make a better choice? Wait till the last minute.
Kristen: Okay, no, that’s not me. You know, we are very similar in that way. When it comes to deadlines, like work, I do actually wait until the last minute. But when it comes to making plans or organizing things, I’m on it. Like, okay, what date? Where are we going? Where hotel? You know, like I need to get it all out. Yeah.
Cameron: And I don’t like to be honest, most of the time I don’t care. So it’s like, let’s just decide now. Whatever it is. Yeah. And we can move on. Okay.
3. head start: 유리한 출발, 앞선 출발, 어드벤티지
Kristen: So a head start is basically you have an earlier start. And because you have an earlier start, you have an advantage over other people.
1)
A: Why did you bring home a pile of work? It’s the weekend.
B: I need to get a head start on next week’s work.
A lot of people do this, don’t they? They work that they’re going to have to do next week. They want to start on the weekend so that next week is less stressful.
Kristen: I can understand that.
2) I gave my little brother a five-second head start when we raised each other.
Cameron: Yeah. This is common to do with little kids.
Kristen: Right, right.
Cameron: Because they got tiny legs. Their legs are still small.
Kristen: I know. So you’re kind of like, okay, you can start.
Kristen: Okay, let’s give one more example.
Cameron: Well, so I was in a program in the United States as a child called “The Head Start Program,” which means it was a program for people, for children, before they went to kindergarten, before they went to preschool. It was like an extra school that was run by the government. Yeah, so it was like before official school, the children could go to a pre-preschool.
Kristen: What?
Cameron: So you were like–
Kristen: So you’re like two years old?
Cameron: Three years old?
Kristen: Two, three, yeah.
Cameron: Three? yeah. Yeah. Wow. It’s just, you learn basic things. Colors, numbers.
Kristen: Yeah. Oh, that’s nice.
Cameron: But it’s just so, when you go to real school, you already have a head start. Head start. You already know some of the information that will be covered.
4. You’ll have to: –해야 할거야
Kristen: Got it. Okay. Our power pattern, you’ll have to, means that you will, it’s necessary.
Cameron: so here, the future tense you’ll is not necessarily talking about the future as much as it might be a condition or could even just mean to be polite. Right? Putting things into the future, just to be polite.
1) You’ll have to speak up, it’s very loud in here.
2) You’ll have to come back tomorrow, the manager left for the day.
