So are you ready to go back to nature?

Let's start.

So Ben, let's start with a simple question.

What is nature?

Hmm, good question.

Nature means the world outside, the trees, mountains, rivers, flowers, animals, the sky, and the fresh air.

Yes, nature is everything that is not made by people.

A forest is nature.

A beach is nature.

Even the stars at night are part of nature.

That's true.

And nature feels very different from the city.

Oh yes.

In the city, you see cars, buildings, and lots of noise.

But in nature, you can hear the birds, feel the wind, and see green trees.

The city is often busy and crowded, but nature is usually quiet, green, and peaceful.

For example, yesterday, I walked in the park.

I saw tall trees and colorful flowers.

I sat on a bench and listened to the birds.

It made me feel calm.

That sounds wonderful.

I remember last summer, I went to the mountains.

The air was so fresh, the river was clear, and everything was calm.

I even saw some wild animals.

Wow, that's amazing.

Nature really gives us special experiences.

Even a small park in the city can help us feel relaxed.

Yes, nature can be many places.

The park, the beach, the forest, the mountains, or even your own garden at home.

And you don't always need a big trip.

Sometimes, just looking at the sky or touching a plant can connect you with nature.

That's true.

Even one small plant in your room can give you a little piece of nature.

Nature is everywhere if you look for it.

Now you know.

Nature is the world outside.

Full of green trees, fresh air, and peaceful sounds.

So listeners, what part of nature do you like most?

The mountains, the rivers, or the beach?

Think about it, and share your answer with us.

Fresh air.

It means clean air outside, not in the city or inside a room.

For example, I open the window for some fresh air.

Green space.

It means a park or natural area in a city.

For example, we need more green spaces in big cities.

Peace and quiet.

It means calm and silence.

For example, I like the forest because it gives me peace and quiet.

Wild animals.

It means animals that live naturally outside, not pets.

For example, we saw wild animals in the mountains.

Is the great outdoors.

It means nature outside, away from the city.

For example, at the weekend, I enjoy spending time in the great outdoors.

So, Ben, we just talked about what nature is.

But here's another big question.

Why should we go back to nature?

Ah, good question.

I think the first reason is very simple.

Nature is good for our health.

Yes.

When we go outside, we walk, we move our body, and we breathe fresh air.

That makes us stronger and healthier.

Exactly.

For example, if you take a short walk in the park every day, it's like small exercise.

Your heart gets stronger and your body feels better.

And breathing fresh air is so different from the city.

In the city, the air is sometimes dirty because of cars and traffic.

But in nature, the air is clean.

Yes.

When I go to the forest or the mountains, I feel my lungs are happy.

It feels easier to breathe.

That's a nice way to say it.

My lungs are happy.

The second reason is for our mind.

Nature makes us feel calm and peaceful.

That's right.

If you feel stress from school, work, or the city, just go to the park, sit under a tree, and listen to the birds.

Your stress will get smaller.

Yes.

Sometimes I take only 10 minutes in the park and already I feel more relaxed.

And even science shows that people sleep better after spending time outside in nature.

Oh really?

100

That makes sense.

101

When we are calm, we can sleep more easily.

102

So nature helps the body and the mind.

103

The third reason is relationships.

104

Going to nature with family or friends is a great way to spend time together.

105

I agree.

106

For example, a picnic in the park with your family.

107

You can eat, laugh, play games, and talk.

108

It's simple, but very special.

109

Or hiking with friends.

110

You walk together, talk together, and share a nice day.

111

Yes, and even children love being outside.

112

They can run, play with a ball, or look at flowers.

113

That's true.

114

Children need nature too, not only phones or TV.

115

So, nature is good for health, good for the mind, and good for relationships.

116

Three very big reasons.

117

Yes.

118

That's why people say, go back to nature.

119

It's not only fun, it's also good for our whole life.

120

So listeners, what about you?

121

Why do you think people feel better in nature?

122

Is it because of health, less stress, or time with family and friends?

123

We'd love to hear your ideas.

124

Breathe fresh air.

125

It means to take clean air into the lungs.

126

For example, it feels good to breathe fresh air in the park.

127

Reduce stress.

128

It means to make stress smaller.

129

For example, walking in nature helps me reduce stress clear your mind it means to feel calm

130

and stop thinking too much for example a short walk can

131

clear your mind after work spend quality time it means to enjoy good moments with family

132

or friends for example we had a picnic to spend quality

133

time together sleep like a baby it means to sleep very well and peacefully.

134

For example, after hiking, I was so tired that I slept like a baby.

135

So Ben, we already know why people should go back to nature.

136

But here's another question.

137

What can we actually do in nature?

138

Oh, there are so many activities.

139

The first one is very simple, just walking.

140

Yes, walking in the park, by the river, or in the forest.

141

You don't need special clothes or tools, just comfortable shoes.

142

Exactly.

143

And walking is good exercise.

144

You can walk alone to think or walk with a friend to talk.

145

Another popular activity is hiking.

146

Hiking means walking, but usually in the mountains or in the forest.

147

Right.

148

Hiking is a little more active.

149

You may need water, good shoes, maybe even a backpack.

150

But it's very fun.

151

I remember going hiking last year with my cousins.

152

We walked for two hours in the forest.

153

At the top of the hill, we saw a beautiful view.

154

It was amazing.

155

That sounds wonderful.

156

Some people also enjoy camping.

157

You bring a tent, sleep outside, and cook food under the stars.

158

Yes, camping is special.

159

It can be simple, just one night in a small tent, or bigger, with many people together.

160

Another activity is swimming, if you go to a beach, a lake, or even a river.

161

Oh yes, swimming in nature feels different from swimming in a pool.

162

You feel closer to the earth and the water.

163

And of course, there's the classic, having a picnic.

164

A picnic is one of my favorites.

165

You bring food, a blanket, and sit outside.

166

You can eat, laugh, play games, and relax.

167

Yes.

168

A picnic can be in the park, by a lake, or even in your backyard.

169

It's easy and fun.

170

Some people also like creative activities in nature, like taking photos, drawing, or painting.

171

True.

172

Nature gives us beautiful colors.

173

Green trees, blue sky, yellow sundae.

174

It's perfect for pictures.

175

And sometimes, you don't need to do much.

176

You can just sit quietly, listen to the birds, watch the clouds, or read a book.

177

Yes, doing nothing in nature is also an activity, relaxing.

178

So, listeners, remember, in nature you can walk, hike, camp, swim, picnic, take photos, or just rest.

179

There are many ways to enjoy it.

180

That's right.

181

Nature is free and the activities are simple, but they make you happy.

182

Go for a walk.

It means to walk for exercise or fun.

184

For example, every morning, I go for a walk in the park.

Hike up a mountain.

It means to walk to the top of a mountain.

187

For example, we hiked up a mountain to see the view.

It means to camp outside at night.

190

For example, on our trip, we slept under the stars.

For example, let's have a picnic by the lake.

197

Wow, Ben, we've talked about so many things today.

198

Yes, we really did.

199

Let's do a quick review for our listeners.

200

First, we asked, what is nature?

201

We said that nature is the world outside.

202

Trees, rivers, mountains, flowers, animals, the sky, and fresh air.

203

And we compared it with the city.

204

The city is noisy and busy, but nature is quiet, green, and peaceful.

205

Then we asked, why go back to nature?

206

We found three big reasons.

207

Reason number one, health.

208

Walking, moving, and breathing fresh air make us strong.

209

Reason number two, the mind.

210

Nature helps us feel calm and reduce stress.

211

And reason number three, relationships.

212

Going to nature with family or friends is a great way to spend time together.

213
