Hi everyone!

Welcome back to Everyday English Talk,

the podcast where we practice simple English for real daily life.

I'm Anna.

And I'm Ben.

Thanks for joining us today.

We're happy you're here, wherever you are.

Today's topic is a very fun one.

It's a dream topic.

We are going to talk about, if you could fly.

That's right, this is a what-if question.

It's not possible, of course,

but it's fun to use our imagination.

What would we do?

In this episode, we'll talk about where we would go,

what we would do, and how we would feel if we had this amazing superpower.

So sit back, relax, and let's dream a little bit together.

And remember, you can download the free PDF transcript with today's vocabulary and exercises.

The link is in the description.

Okay, Ben.

Let's start with the big question.

If I could fly.

Wow.

It's hard to know where to begin.

It's a big idea.

I think I know my answer.

I would travel the world.

Oh, definitely.

That's the best answer.

Think about it.

No more plane tickets?

Exactly.

Plane tickets are so expensive.

And airports are terrible.

I agree.

You have to wait in long lines for security,

wait at the gate, sit on a crowded plane.

But if I could fly, I would just go.

I would just float out my window and go.

Where would you go first, Ben?

Right now, if you could fly.

Hmm, my first trip.

I think I would fly to New Zealand.

I've always wanted to see the beautiful mountains there.

That's a great choice, I think.

I think I would fly to Egypt.

I want to see the pyramids.

That would be amazing.

You could just fly right up to them.

You wouldn't need a tour bus or anything.

I would love to see them from above.

Just float in the air and look down on all the history.

I like that idea.

See everything from above.

I would do that over the Grand Canyon in America.

Just fly from one side to the other.

That would be much better than just standing at the edge.

I think I would prefer to fly in nature.

I would fly to the top of a huge mountain.

A place that is very, very difficult to climb.

Why?

Because it's so quiet there.

So peaceful.

You would be so high up,

maybe even above the clouds.

Just me and the sky.

That sounds very peaceful.

I would also like to fly over the city where I live.

Really?

Why your own city?

You see it every day.

But I see it from the ground.

I want to see what it looks like from the sky.

I think at night it would be beautiful.

Oh, you're right.

Flying over the city at night,

seeing all the streetlights and the cars.

Yes, they would look like little moving stars.

I think it would be magical.

What about the ocean?

Would you fly over the ocean?

That seems a little scary.

It's so big.

I would.

I would fly to the beach.

I would fly low just three or four meters over the water.

That sounds fun.

I'd try to race the dolphins.

Or I would fly high up and look for whales.

You could see them so clearly from above.

That's true.

The possibilities are endless.

If it was winter here and it was cold and gray.

I would just fly to Australia where it's summer.

I could go anywhere warm.

You could chase the summer all year long.

You would never be cold again.

What about visiting family?

My parents live in a different country.

100

Oh, that's a great point.

101

You wouldn't have to wait for holidays or save money for a ticket.

102

I could just fly there for the weekend.

103

Or even just for dinner.

104

Now that is the best idea.

105

Just flying to see the people you love anytime you want.

106

It's the perfect freedom.

107

You would feel so free.

108

Let's go over some useful phrases.

109

Sure.

110

First, if I could fly.

111

We use this phrase to start our dream.

112

Example, if I could fly,

113

I would be so happy.

114

Second, travel the world.

115

This means to go to many different countries.

116

Example, I want to save money so I can travel the world.

117

Third, go anywhere.

118

This means you have no limits.

119

You can go to any place.

120

Example, with a boat, you can go anywhere on the river.

121

Fourth, fly over the city.

122

This means to fly in the sky above a place.

123

Example, to look down on something from a high place.

124

Example, from the airplane you can see the houses from above.

125

So listeners, if I could fly,

126

where would you go anywhere first?

127

Share your answer with us in the comments.

128

Okay, so traveling the world is the big dream.

129

We would all do that.

130

But what about daily life?

131

How would you use flying in your everyday, normal routine?

132

Oh, that's an even better question.

133

I know my answer right away.

134

What is it?

135

I would fly to work.

136

Every single day.

137

Of course.

138

That's a perfect answer.

139

My commute is so bad.

140

It takes one hour.

141

I get stuck in traffic every morning.

142

The bus moves so slowly,

143

or sometimes it doesn't come.

144

That sounds very stressful.

145

It is.

146

I am always worried about being late.

147

But if I could fly,

148

I would just fly over all the cars.

149

While they are all stuck in traffic,

150

you would just fly right over them, waving.

151

Exactly.

152

I would never be late for work again.

153

I would save so much time.

154

I could sleep for an extra 45 minutes.

155

I would do the same.

156

And I would fly to the grocery store.

157

The grocery store?

158

Why?

159

Is it far?

160

No, it's not far, but I hate finding a parking spot.

161

The parking lot is always full.

162

Oh, that's true.

163

I would just fly there,

164

get my milk and my bread, and fly home.

165

I would save time on all my small, boring tasks.

166

That's a very practical idea.

167

If I forgot to buy sugar,

168

I could just fly back to the store in one minute.

169

I think I would also use flying to help people.

170

Help people?

171

How, like a superhero?

172

Maybe a small neighborhood superhero.

173

For example, my neighbor's cat is always stuck in a tree.

174

Oh yes, I always see posters for lost cats.

175

And firefighters are busy, they can't always come to help a cat.

176

But I could just fly up,

177

get the cat, and bring it down.

178

That's a very kind idea.

179

You could be the official cat rescuer for your neighborhood.

180

I would like that job.

181

What else?

182

Oh, if I saw someone drop their wallet from a high window?

183

You could fly up and catch it.

184

See?

185

It's very useful.

186

But I think the best daily use is visiting friends.

187

Tell me more about that.

188

Well, my best friend lives in another city.

189

It takes three hours to drive there.

190

So you probably don't see him very often.

191

No, maybe only a few times a year.

192

It's a whole day trip.

193

But if I could fly,

194

I could fly to his house for lunch.

195

Just for lunch?

196

Yes.

197

I would fly there, we could eat and talk for an hour.

198

And then I would fly home in time for dinner.

199

That would be amazing.

200

It would be so easy to stay in touch with everyone.

201

It would change all your relationships.

202

You would never feel far away from anyone.

203

That's a really wonderful thought.

204

It's not just about saving time on traffic.

205

No, it's about being more connected.

206

So, flying would make life easier, but also more fun.

207

No more stuck in traffic.

208

Just helping cats and having lunch with friends.

209

It sounds like a perfect life.

210

Let's go over some useful phrases.

211

Sure.

212

First, get stuck in traffic.

213

This means your car or bus is stopped or moving very slowly because there are too many cars.

214

Example, I was late because I got stuck in traffic.

215

Second, save time.

216

This means to do something more quickly.

217

Example.

218

I take the train to save time,

219

the car is too slow.

220

Third, visit friends.

221

This means to go to your friend's house to see them.

222

Example.

223

I am going to visit my friends this weekend.

224

Fourth, help people.

225

This is a simple phrase for doing kind actions.

226

Example.

227

It is important to help people who are in need.

228

And fifth, stuck in a tree.

229

This is a common problem for cats, kites, or drones.

230

Example, my kite is stuck in that tall tree.

231

What about you?

232

How would you use flying to save time in your daily life?

233

Let us know in the comments.

234

So we know where we would go,

235

we would travel the world.

236

And we know what we would do.

237

We would fly to work and visit friends.

238

But Ben, how do you think it would feel?

239

What is the sensation of flying?

240

Ooh, that's a good question.

241

I think it would feel exciting.

242

Exciting?

243

Yes.

244

To just jump and go up.

245

To leave the ground.

246

That first moment would be so amazing.

247

A big rush.

248

I agree, it would be exciting.

249

But I think it would feel scary at first, too.

250

Really?

251

You think so?

252

Yes.

253

Think about it.

254

You would be so high up.

255

That's true.

256

When I look down from a very tall building, my legs feel weak.

257

Imagine being so high up, with nothing under you.

258

Just air.

259

That's a good point.

260

Maybe the first time would be a little scary.

261

You would be afraid of falling.

262

But I think after a few minutes,

263

after you learn to trust it, it would feel amazing.

264

How so?

265

I think it would feel peaceful.

266

Peaceful?

267

More than exciting?

268

Yes.

269

After you get used to it.

270

Imagine just floating, so high up where everything is quiet.

271

No noise from cars, no people talking,

272

just you and the sky.

273

That sounds very peaceful.

274

I imagine it would feel like a bird.

275

What do you mean, like a bird?

276

When you watch a bird,

277

it doesn't look like it is working hard.

278

It just floats.

279

It rides the wind.

280

I think flying would feel like that.

281

Easy, natural.

282

To just ride the wind.

283

I like that.

284

You would really feel the wind.

285

Yes, you would feel the wind in your hair and on your face.

286

It would be different in different seasons.

287

On a hot summer day,

288

it would feel so cool and nice to fly high up.

289

But in the winter, it would be very, very cold.

290

You would have a very warm jacket, hat, and gloves.

291

That's true.

292

It would be a new way to experience the weather.

293

What do you think it would feel like to fly through a cloud?

294

Oh, wow, I didn't think of that.

295

I guess it would just feel like flying through fog.

296

It would be wet and cool.

297

This is such a fun idea.

298

It would be the best superpower.

299

What is a superpower?

300

A superpower is a special,

301

magical ability that a person has.

302

Like Superman.

303

He can fly, and he is super strong.

304

Those are his superpowers.

305

Ah, I see.

306

Yes, flying would definitely be my favorite superpower.

307

Would it be tiring?

308

Do you think your arms would get tired from flapping?

309

In my dream, no. It's not tiring at all.

310

It's easy, like walking or breathing.

311

You just think up and you go up.

312

I hope so.

313

I would want to fly for hours and hours.

314

It's not possible, of course.

315

It's just imagination.

316

But it's a wonderful dream to think about.

317

People have always wanted to fly.

318

It's the ultimate freedom.

319

Let's go over some useful phrases.

320

Sure.

321

First, feel exciting.

322

This means to feel very happy and enthusiastic.

323

Example.

324

The roller coaster was fast and felt very exciting.

325

Second, feel scary.

326

This means to feel afraid.

327

Example.

328

Watching that horror movie felt scary.

329

Third, like a bird.

330

We use this to compare flying to an animal that can fly.

331

Example, I wish I could fly, just like a bird.

332

Fourth, high up.

333

This means to be far above the ground.

334

Example, the view from the top of the mountain is beautiful because you are so high up.

335

And fifth, feel the wind.

336

This is the sensation of the air moving past you.

337

Example, I love riding my bicycle and feeling the wind in my hair.

338

So listeners, how do you think flying would feel?

339

Exciting or scary?

340

341

342

344

First, listening practice.

345

Listen to this episode again from the beginning.

346

Try to find all the useful phrases we talked about.

347

Listen for when I said I would travel the world.

348

Or when I said I would get stuck in traffic if I didn't fly.

349

Try to say three to five phrases,

350

like go anywhere, help people, or like a bird.

351

Second, speaking practice.

352

Try to say three short sentences out loud.

353

Tell us your flying dream.

354

For example, you can say,

355

if I could fly, I would go to the beach.

356

I would fly high up.

357

It would feel exciting.

358

Or, I would fly to work.

359

I can save time.

360

I will not get stuck in traffic.

361

Third, writing practice.

362

Write a short paragraph in your notebook or in the comments.

363

You can start with, If I could fly for one day I would.

364

Tell us your plan.

365

Remember, small practice every day helps you improve.

366

That's right.

367

Just one step at a time.

368

Let's quickly review what we learned today, Anna.

369

Yes, it was so much fun to use our imagination.

370

We talked about what we would do if I could fly.

371

First, we talked about where we would go.

372

We would travel the world and go anywhere because we don't need plane tickets.

373

We would visit mountains and fly over the city.

374

We would see everything from above and even visit family for dinner.

375

Second, we talked about what we would do in daily life.

376

We would fly to work to save time and never get stuck in traffic

377

We would also visit friends and help people Maybe even a cat stuck in a tree And finally,

378

we talked about how it would feel It would be exciting

379

and maybe a little scary at first Because we are

380

so high up But then it would be peaceful We would feel the wind and feel free like a bird

381

It's a fun dream, even if it's not possible.

382

Using your imagination is always a good time.
