I've just left home, grabbed my airpods and I'm off for a relaxing walk around my town.

So relax, watch and listen while I describe what I can see and what I do,

providing you with English listening practice through comprehensible input.

First of all, I'm walking down this really steep hill.

As you can see, it's very steep.

The inclination is very high.

Luckily I'm walking downhill and not uphill because walking up this steep hill would be exhausting.

On this corner you can see that this house is being renovated and this what you can see here is scaffolding.

Now let's turn to the right and go along this public footpath.

This is what the footpath looks like and it's a nice rural way of disconnecting from work.

Because working from home, working remotely, teaching all of my classes inside my own house means that I really need to get out of the house.

So staying at my parents house is lovely Because look,

we live in the countryside surrounded by lots of hills, trees and fields.

You can tell that summer is coming to an end

because we have lots of leaves that have fallen to the ground

and many of them are brown which means autumn is coming then winter is coming.

If there are any Game of Thrones fans let me know in the comments.

In front of me you can see there are some blackberries growing

and I'm gonna pick this one because it looks ripe and well let's try it let's see what it tastes like.

Quite sweet, quite tasty, yeah thumbs up.

But careful not all of them are ripe.

The red ones are a bit unripe so they wouldn't be very juicy and they wouldn't be very tasty either.

But look, there's so many of them.

You see, I could make a lovely blackberry pie.

And watch out, look out, because there's another thing you need to be careful of.

This part here, it is barbed wire.

The purpose of barbed wire is to prevent people or animals getting on to private property.

Do you have any idea what this green stuff is called?

Well, this is called moss.

Oh hey, now I'm gonna open the gate and close it.

Down here there are plenty of logs of wood to start a fire

but as you can see from these fields a lot of the grass is very dry.

It is parched and that's because of the heat wave and the drought that we've had in England this summer.

So a lot of farmers are praying that it's going to rain soon.

Fingers crossed!

Here we have another plant that people need to be careful with.

They are nettles.

And if you touch nettles, well the nettles sting you and and then, ah, it really hurts.

But wherever you have nettles, there are always dock leaves.

And they are the natural antidote to nettle stings.

So if you ever get stung by nettles, look for a dock leaf and rub it on the sting, and it will alleviate the pain.

It will relieve a little bit of the pain.

There you have some more dock leaves.

This is almost like Bear Grylls, isn't it?

I'm teaching you how to survive in the British countryside.

This is a dandelion seed head and when I was a child I used to always blow these.

So let's take a trip down memory lane and blow it!

Now I'm walking through a really pretty village, a really pretty town just next to my house,

and I'm gonna walk down to a stream and then onto the canal.

This here is a wheelie bin

and in front me you have a lovely little courtyard in this house the milkman has been to deliver fresh milk

and we have more wheelie bins and even more so many wheelie bins there you can see a trampoline

and there we have a wheelbarrow

and in front of me you have a little plastic goal where kids can train their football skills.

Yorkshire is just so picturesque, isn't it?

It's beautiful here in the countryside, so I am definitely grateful for where I was brought up, where I grew up as a child

because since I've been alive I've always been wandering around these little footpaths

and getting my steps in because I like to take care of myself

and look after myself and I try to make sure

that every single day I do at least 10 kilometers between running and walking.

And today helping myself to lots of blackberries.

Along this wall we have a lot more barbed wire.

So yeah this one looks even more dangerous than the last bit.

I suppose this sign explains why there's so much barbed wire

because it is private land there is no public right of way

but not to worry because i'm going to continue on the public footpath

and i'm going to go downhill again

and in order to continue i'm going to cross this footbridge this bridge

that is only designed for people who are walking underneath the bridge you have a little stream

that is flowing a stream is essentially a very very very small river

and on these paths sometimes i need to jump up and over a little wall

In order to reach all of these beautiful, scenic, rural paths where the water is crystal clear.

It's transparent.

That being said, I still wouldn't drink it because I don't want to get an upset tummy.

Your tummy or your belly is your stomach.

and an upset tummy is when you have pain in your stomach

and you probably need to go to the toilet quite a lot.

The less said about that the better.

Look at how pretty these little blue flowers are.

I believe they're called bluebells.

This is where it seems the stream gets really really muddy.

so that reinforces why you shouldn't drink it.

Then it leads to a private pond.

Let me show you what it looks like.

Behind me you can see the private pond and it seems like the water is quite stagnant.

It's not flowing but if you ask me it's still quite a pretty pond

and if you live in one of these houses it's lovely to look out to.

There's also a bin in case you need to throw away any of your rubbish.

Now I've just come across a group of rowdy kids and can you guess what they told me?

They looked at the t-shirt I was wearing and pointed to the Leeds badge.

One of them said come on Leeds

but another one said oh I don't like Leeds and he said he was a Man United fan So I chuckled,

I laughed a little bit, and I said, ha, good luck mate.

Now this part of the path is a little bit overgrown.

It's difficult to get past because all of these plants and trees have grown too much.

It is overgrown.

You see, I can barely get past.

I can hardly get past.

And as I warned you, You have to be careful of the nettles.

100

And you also have to be careful because here there is a little bit of a cliff.

101

There is a drop.

102

So if you're walking along here, be careful not to slip and fall into the stream.

103

It seems like this path is a little bit treacherous.

104

A treacherous path is a dangerous path.

105

that is full of obstacles but despite

106

that despite the challenges I've made it I'm out

107

and behind me you can see some lovely green meadows

108

and it's a bit of a cloudy day now let's keep going

109

and let's make it to the canal to the Leeds Liverpool canal so let's follow

110

the public footpath go through the gate over these stones

111

and keep going I'm gonna cross another footbridge like the one

112

you can see behind me let's go go go go go go go go go

113

warning these horses may kick and bite which horses you may ask it sounds a little bit scary

114

These horses may kick and bite.

115

Please do not feed the horses.

116

These horses are on a special diet.

117

Your kindness may kill.

118

I'm biting my nails.

119

I'm nervous.

120

I'm a kind person.

121

Are the horses going to kill me?

122

There you can see the horses.

123

There are two of them.

124

And they're all covered up.

125

They don't look so scary.

126

but hey, I better not feed them or anything like that because I don't want them to kill me, do I?

127

And in English there is actually a phrasal verb with horse.

128

It is to horse around.

129

And if you are horsing around it means you're joking, you're messing around, you know,

130

you're pulling someone's leg so I'm just horsing around.

131

Now I'm going to walk up these steps and onto the canal.

132

That is a really common sign that you'll see all over the country.

133

This house is for sale and look it's a beautiful house as well literally right on the canal.

134

Now I'm walking along the canal in the middle of it because this canal goes from Leeds to Liverpool.

135

And look, look at this cutie.

136

This dog is lying down having a little bit of a rest.

137

And along the canal is usually the place where I come

138

when I want to go for a run because it's all flat.

139

There are no hills at all.

140

But right now I'm just gonna walk, just gonna stroll along the canal because this morning I've already been for a run.

141

Unfortunately, unlike the stream, the canal isn't crystal clear.

142

It's a little bit dirty it seems.

143

Above me you have some more berries but I don't think these are edible or at least I've never eaten them before.

144

If something is edible it means you can eat it and the opposite is inedible.

145

In front of me there is a feather on the floor, so I've just picked it up.

146

This is a feather.

147

Now, I don't want to keep it, so I'm going to drop it.

148

Look what's across the canal.

149

If I zoom in, you can see the Union Jack, a British flag, and a pirate flag.

150

And there you have lots of greenhouses

151

and huts sheds where people grow their plants herbs

152

and lots of other things this place is called an allotment now the path has got a little bit busier

153

and there are more pedestrians walking or cycling along this canal path

154

and it's funny because in small towns around the uk

155

when you see a complete stranger even if you don't know them well

156

that is a complete stranger you always do this action

157

and you say all right all right or if not

158

that you might say hiya hiya you're right so

159

if you see someone in a small town in the UK just nod and say all right or hiya.

160

There you can see some geese.

161

This is an irregular plural.

162

It is one goose and many geese.

163

And now there are lots of narrow boats.

164

This is the name of these canal boats and every narrow boat has its own name.

165

Straight and narrow, Ain't no Russian, At Last, Bonnie Mary, and lots more geese.

166

And obviously, this is a common place to come and walk your dog.

167

Most people who walk their dog walk it on a lead.

168

In American English, they say a leash.

169

And this sign, no fouling, means don't leave your dog poo on the street.

170

How about a bit more wildlife?

171

In front of me, flying away, you have a common pigeon.

172

As I said, this is the Leeds-Liverpool Canal.

173

So from Leeds all the way to Liverpool, people will travel along the canal, cycle along it, walk along it.

174

And it was really, really useful during the Industrial Revolution to transport goods from one city to another.

175

and it also crosses through Manchester in the middle.

176

But if that's the case, what happens when these narrowboats need to go upstream?

177

You know, up a hill but along the canal.

178

The canal is always flat.

179

Always.

180

So they came up with a solution.

181

And it was to make locks.

182

This is just one example of many.

183

The Bingley Five Rise Locks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

184

cared for by us made possible by you now i'm walking

185

down the hill right next to the five rise locks

186

but don't worry i'm gonna walk back up

187

and show you it properly this is the view from the bottom

188

and the narrowboat will enter one of these locks when

189

that happens he will close the door and the water will start to fill up.

190

Then the boat will start to rise with the water and you repeat the process five times.

191

Now I'm walking up the locks and this is what it looks like on the inside as this starts to fill up.

192

You see the lock that is just above it is already full

193

and this is starting to empty and the water will go down into the next lock.

194

It's quite impressive engineering isn't it?

195

But you can tell you're from a small town when this is probably the most famous thing about Bingley, my hometown.

196

The Five Rise Locks.

197

Fascinating isn't it?

198

Now I'm going to start walking back up the hill and home to prepare for my evening classes.

199

But this is a closer look at what an allotment looks like.

200

You know, the place where people come to grow their own plants and stuff like that.

201

Down here someone's even growing their own pumpkins.

202

So I think that's enough for this walk and talk.

203

I hope you liked it.

204

If so, leave a like and I'll see you next time.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
