تدريب Shadowing: Which Season Matches Your Personality | Cozy English Listening Practice - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Everyday English Academy, where we make English simple and enjoyable.

I'm Sarah.

And I'm Mike.

Hello to all of our wonderful listeners, wherever you are in the world right now.

Mike, did you feel it this morning?

Feel what?

The air.

It's different.

It's cooler.

The leaves are turning yellow.

Ah, I love it.

Oh, yeah.

I wore a jacket today.

First time in months.

Look at you. So sensible.

Thank you.

I think.

It's a compliment.

Sensible means you make good, practical choices.

Cold morning, you wear a jacket.

Very sensible.

And what did you wear?

A t -shirt.

I was freezing at the bus stop.

But I don't care.

This is my time of year.

I'm an autumn person, 100%.

That's a nice phrase for everyone, actually.

I'm an autumn person.

You can use it with anything.

I'm a morning person.

I'm a cat person.

i'm a coffee person it just means this is my thing this fits me exactly

but hmm what what's hum nothing it's just loving autumn and being an autumn person are two different things excuse me

you know how people say your favorite season matches your personality Summer people are one type, winter people are another type.

Yes, I've heard that.

Well, I'm not sure you're autumn.

Mike, I've loved autumn my whole life.

I know, and I've always said I'm a summer person, but honestly, I'm starting to think I'm not.

Wait, you?

You talk about summer all year.

I know.

I love summer, but I also love pizza, and I'm not a pizza.

Wow.

Very deep, Mike.

I try.

Okay, let's go season by season and see where we really fit.

Deal.

And everyone, play along with us.

It's not science.

It's just for fun.

Just for fun.

And maybe a little bit true.

Okay, summer first.

Summer people are easy to spot, right?

Oh, so easy.

They're outgoing.

Outgoing, friendly, open.

They love meeting new people.

They talk to everyone at the beach, at the bus stop, in the line of the supermarket.

That's me.

Last week, I talked to a woman at the bakery for 20 minutes.

I know her dog's name now.

What's the dog's name?

Biscuit.

Of course it is.

What about you?

Are you outgoing?

Mmm, I'm outgoing with people I already know.

That's not outgoing, Mike.

That's just having friends.

Okay, fair.

But summer people have another side, too.

When it's really hot, some of us get angry very quickly.

Oh, so you have a short fuse.

Yes.

If you have a short fuse, you get angry really fast.

Think about fireworks.

A firework has a fuse, that little string you light with fire.

If the fuse is short, boom, very fast.

And that's me in a hot car in traffic.

35 degrees, no air conditioning, I have a very short fuse.

I know.

I was in that car.

You yelled at a traffic light.

It was red for a long time it was read for

one minute ah it felt longer see I'm the opposite

when it's hot I don't get angry I just get slow

like a lizard on a rock a lizard very calm very slow no fuse at all okay

but summer is also the season of friends right?

Barbecues, beach days, everyone's outside.

True, but I have a small problem with summer friends.

What problem?

Some of them are fair weather friends.

Ooh, explain that one.

A fair weather friend is someone who's only your friend when life is easy and fun.

When things are good, they're there.

But when you have a problem, they disappear.

Like the sun on a cloudy day.

100

Exactly.

101

I had a friend like that.

102

Every summer, he called me.

103

Hey, Mike, barbecue at your place?

104

Because you have a garden.

105

Because I have a garden.

106

And then in November, when I needed help moving my sofa?

107

No answer.

108

No. Total fair weather friend.

109

Okay, but wait, that's not a summer thing that's just a bad friend.

110

Maybe.

111

I'm outgoing, and I would help you move your sofa. Would you?

112

Is it a big sofa?

113

See?

114

I'm joking.

115

I'd help you.

116

Come rain or shine.

117

Ooh, nice.

118

Come rain or shine.

119

That means no matter what.

120

Good weather, bad weather, easy day, hard day, you'll be there.

121

Exactly.

122

I'll be there come rain or shine.

123

That's the opposite of a fair weather friend.

124

I like that.

125

Okay, I believe you.

126

Next time I move, I'm calling you.

127

Maybe call me in summer.

128

Fair weather friend.

129

Okay, Mike, be honest.

130

Outgoing?

131

Not really.

132

Short fuse?

133

No. So, are you really a summer person?

134

I love summer, but when I think about my personality, I think I'm winter.

135

Winter?

136

Okay, but first, the weather.

137

What was winter like where you grew up?

138

Cold.

139

Snow and sleet.

140

So much sleet.

141

Sleet.

142

For everyone listening, sleet is like half rain, half snow.

143

It's wet, it's cold, it's a little bit icy.

144

It's not pretty like snow.

145

It's not simple like rain.

146

It's the worst of both.

147

It's like the weather can't decide.

148

Exactly.

149

And it hits your face sideways.

150

It's sleeting outside is the saddest sentence in English.

151

Okay, so winter weather is hard.

152

What about winter people?

153

Winter people are level -headed.

154

Level -headed?

155

That's a good one.

156

It means you stay calm and think clearly even when there's a problem.

157

Your head stays level, not too high, not too low.

158

Oh, that is you.

159

Remember the airport? Which time?

160

Our work trip last winter.

161

The flight was canceled, there was sleep everywhere, people were shouting.

162

And you had a very short fuse that day.

163

Okay, yes.

164

But you just sat down, opened your laptop, and found us a hotel in five minutes.

165

Because shouting doesn't fix anything.

166

See?

167

Level -headed.

168

That's so winter.

169

Thank you.

170

It's a gift.

171

But, Mike, winter people can also be a little… set in their ways.

172

What do you mean?

173

If you're set in your ways, you like doing things the same way every time, and you don't really want to change.

174

I'm not set in my ways.

175

What did you have for breakfast today?

176

Toast with peanut butter. And yesterday?

177

Toast with peanut butter.

178

And last year?

179

Okay, okay.

180

toast with peanut butter for about eight years you're

181

so set in your ways it's a good breakfast why change

182

a good thing that's exactly what someone who's set in their ways says

183

fine but winter isn't only cold

184

and boring it's also festive oh i love festive festive means happy

185

and full of celebration like the holidays lights on the streets music big family dinners The city looks so festive in December.

186

I put my lights up in early November.

187

November?

188

That's too early.

189

It's not too early.

190

It's extra festive.

191

See, winter people love festive things, but quietly.

192

I love the lights from my window with tea.

193

And I love the lights from the middle of the party.

194

That's the difference between us.

195

Okay, everyone.

196

We want to hear from you.

197

Which season fits your personality?

198

Is it the same as your favorite season or totally different?

199

Tell us in the comments.

200

Just one sentence is perfect.

201

Like, I love summer, but I'm level -headed, so I think I'm winter.

202

Or, I'm outgoing and I have a short fuse.

203

Definitely summer.

204

We read every comment, even the ones about peanut butter.

205

Okay.

206

autumn my season finally your season autumn people are sensible remember

207

good practical choices they plan ahead they put an umbrella in

208

their bag before it rains hmm sarah what did you wear this morning a t -shirt

209

and last month when we went hiking in the mountains i wore nice shoes You wore sandals on a mountain.

210

They were very nice sandals.

211

That's not sensible, Sarah.

212

Okay, maybe I'm not the most sensible person, but autumn people are also a little fussy, and I'm definitely fussy.

213

Oh, that's true.

214

Fussy means you're hard to please.

215

Everything has to be exactly right.

216

The right way, the right temperature, the right everything.

217

Tell them your coffee order.

218

Okay.

219

Oat milk, extra hot, but not too hot, and a little cinnamon on top, but only a little.

220

The barista, you know, the person who makes the coffee, she hides when she sees you.

221

She does not hide.

222

She just takes a deep breath.

223

But that's very autumn, right?

224

Autumn people like everything cozy and perfect.

225

The right blanket, the right candle, the right cup.

226

Okay, I'll give you that one.

227

You're fussy.

228

Very autumn.

229

Thank you.

230

But you're not sensible.

231

Ah, one out of two isn't bad.

232

Okay, and the last autumn word.

233

Autumn people are laid back.

234

Laid back, relaxed, calm.

235

They don't worry too much.

236

Exactly.

237

They can sit with a book for a whole afternoon and just enjoy it.

238

Sarah, when did you last sit with a book for a whole afternoon?

239

I started a book in July. And?

240

I'm on page 12.

241

That's not laid back.

242

I get bored.

243

I have to move.

244

I have to do things.

245

See, I'm laid back.

246

If our plans change, I just say, okay, no problem.

247

That's true.

248

You're very laid back.

249

Unless someone touches your peanut butter.

250

That's different.

251

That's serious. So, wait.

252

You're laid back, level -headed, and set in your ways.

253

That's two winter words and one autumn word.

254

And you're outgoing, fussy, and you have a short fuse.

255

That's a summer and autumn mix.

256

Hmm, we're both a little confused.

257

Okay, before we get more confused, let's say some of these out loud.

258

Everyone listen and then say it after us.

259

My brother is really laid back.

260

She has a short fuse.

261

I'm a bit fussy about coffee.

262

He's very set in his ways.

263

I'll be there come rain or shine.

264

Great job.

265

Try one of those with a friend this week they'll be impressed.

266

Okay, one season left.

267

Spring.

268

Ah, spring.

269

Flowers, birds, sunshine.

270

And rain and wind and then sunshine again.

271

All in one afternoon.

272

Yes, spring weather is a little moody.

273

Moody, that's a great word.

274

If someone is moody, their feelings change quickly.

275

Happy one minute grumpy the next grumpy a little angry a little unhappy like a cat when you wake it up

276

so spring people are moody well spring people are full of energy excited about new things outgoing

277

but yes sometimes a little moody mike why are you looking at me like that no reason Mike.

278

Okay.

279

Sarah, how are you feeling right now?

280

Good.

281

Happy.

282

And five minutes ago when I said you're not sensible?

283

A little grumpy. And now?

284

Happy again.

285

Oh, no. You're spring, Sarah.

286

I'm not moody.

287

You're outgoing, you have a short fuse, you can't sit still, and your mood changes like spring weather.

288

Okay.

289

That's actually very me.

290

I'm sorry, Autumn.

291

You lost her.

292

No, I'm keeping Autumn.

293

I'm a spring person who loves Autumn.

294

That's allowed.

295

You can love a season that's totally different from you.

296

Like you in summer.

297

Like me in summer.

298

A winter guy who loves the beach.

299

A winter guy with sunglasses and a blanket.

300

Exactly.

301

The best of both.

302

You know, what's funny, some of these words are compliments, and some are a little bit dangerous.

303

Dangerous?

304

Like, if you tell your friend, you're moody, she might not be happy.

305

True.

306

Moody, fussy, set in your ways, a short fuse, these can sound a little negative.

307

So, here's a little trick.

308

Add a bit or a little.

309

She's a bit fussy.

310

He can be a little moody.

311

Oh, that's so much softer.

312

It sounds friendly, not like you're attacking someone.

313

Exactly.

314

My dad is a bit set in his ways.

315

That's fine.

316

That's kind.

317

But my dad is so set in his ways.

318

That's a complaint.

319

And the nice words, outgoing, laid back, sensible, level -headed, you can use those anywhere, even in a job interview.

320

Oh, good idea.

321

I'm level -headed.

322

I stay calm under pressure.

323

Under pressure, when things are stressful and difficult.

324

That's a great interview sentence.

325

Or, I'm outgoing, so I enjoy working with people.

326

What about laid back?

327

Is that good for work?

328

Hmm.

329

It depends.

330

A laid -back boss?

331

Great.

332

A laid -back pilot?

333

I'm not so sure.

334

No. I want my pilot to be sensible and level -headed.

335

Exactly.

336

And whatever you do, don't say, I have a short fuse.

337

Hi, I'm Sarah.

338

I'm outgoing, and I yell at traffic lights.

339

You're hired.

340

Really?

341

No. Okay.

342

Mike, before we finish, let's each pick our favorite word from today and use it in a sentence about our week.

343

Ooh, nice.

344

You first.

345

Hmm.

346

Come rain or shine.

347

Because I go to my dance class every Thursday.

348

Come rain or shine.

349

That's true.

350

You never miss it.

351

Even in sleet.

352

Even in sleet.

353

Your turn.

354

Okay.

355

Level -headed.

356

This week, my neighbor's washing machine flooded the hallway, and I was the only level -headed person there.

357

Of course you were.

358

Everyone was running around, and I just turned off the water.

359

Very sensible.

360

Thank you.

361

Two words in one story.

362

Okay, a quick look back, everyone.

363

From summer, we had outgoing, have a short fuse, and a fair -weather friend.

364

From winter, sleet, level -headed, set in your ways, and festive.

365

From autumn, sensible, fussy, and laid -back.

366

And from spring, moody.

367

Plus our friendship phrase, come rain or shine.

368

Now it's your turn.

369

In the comments, pick one word from today and write a sentence about yourself or about someone you know.

370

Like, my sister is a bit fussy about food.

371

Or, I'm laid back but I'm not level -headed at all.

372

That's me.

373

We'd love to read them.

374

So everyone, your favorite season and your personality season don't have to match.

375

And most of us are a little mix.

376

Maybe you're summer at a party and winter on a Monday morning.

377

Everyone is winter on a Monday morning.

378

Even spring people?

379

Especially spring people.

380

We're just moody about it.

381

See, you're already using the words.

388

And if the answer is winter, you know where to find the blankets and the peanut butter.

389
