What's one everyday thing you'd like to get a little better at, not a big dream, just something small?

A natural way to answer

I'd like to get better at waking up early. I always hit the snooze button too many times. If I could just get up on the first alarm, my whole day would start better.

Key phrases to use

  • get it right — do something correctly, especially after trying“It takes practice to get it right.”
  • hit the snooze button — press the button to stop the alarm and sleep a bit longer“I hit the snooze button three times this morning.”
  • stand up for myself — defend yourself or say what you want instead of letting others decide“I'm learning to stand up for myself at work.”
