Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases BY DAY, BY NIGHT, and NIGHT OWL
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrases by day and by night. I'm a teacher by day and a YouTuber by night. So when you use by day and by night, you're describing when something happens. You often hear this in a superhero movie, Superman is Clark Kent by day and Superman by night. Or is that Batman? Batman is Bruce Wayne by day and Batman by night. Yeah, that makes more sense. Batman does more work at night than Superman. But when you say by day and by night, you're talking about when it happens.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS?

I'm testing out the low light capabilities of my camera.The other phrase or term I wanted to teach you is night owl. A night owl is a person who enjoys being out at night or working at night. I'm not a night owl, by the way.So to review, when you do something by day and by night, it means that's when you do it. Maybe you're. You're a hard worker by day and a party animal by night. I don't know what you're like, but maybe that's you. Or to review as well, night owl would be a person who enjoys doing things at night.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Lidepla. I've noticed two more interesting expressions in this lesson. I felt a little bit off and on top of things. Thanks. And my response? Yes, I'm glad you picked up on those. There are often extra phrases that just come out naturally. So sorry if I'm not speaking smoothly and fluently tonight. Maybe because it's late in the day, but thanks. Lidepla. I think I said that right for that comment. Yes. Quite often in my videos there's a couple extra little phrases that are kind of a bonus that you can learn.Yeah, I'm here in front of the grocery store. It's nighttime. There's definitely people out who are night owls and I'm not. By the way, if you're wondering why I'm out here making a video, it's not because I'm a super dedicated YouTuber. It's because I'm on my way back to work for parent teacher interviews. So it's actually only like quarter to six. But it's dark here already. Or wait, let me check my watch. Sorry, it's quarter to seven and it's dark here already.So yeah, I'm not a night owl. I enjoy doing things by day. I enjoy. Like I would rather get up early and go do things than stay up late to do things. That's just my personality. There's no way you'll catch me joining volunteer activities or committees that meet at night. That just does not interest me at all. I would rather go to a meeting at 7 in the morning than at 7 at night. So things like parent teacher interviews are a little bit not annoying for me. Like, I don't mind them. I think they're good and they're practical and they help parents and students know what they can choose to do to do better. But certainly it's not my favorite thing. In fact, I'll probably. I'll probably not sleep very well tonight because when I go home, I'll still be kind of heightened. Like I'll have some adrenaline going and I'll still have lots of energy.Normally by this time of night, I'm just watching some YouTube videos or possibly reading a book or doing something that's just a little bit more relaxing. So anyways, let me check my time here. Oh, we're good. I'm trying to walk far enough so that you can see the Tim Hortons. Sometimes people enjoy seeing the Tim Hortons. There's definitely a Tim Hortons over here. There's a bunch of people in front of it. Not sure what they're doing. I think it might be like Girl Guides selling cookies or something l
