Hello, I'm Neil.

And I'm Georgie.

Welcome to Real Easy English.

You can find a worksheet and transcript for this episode on our website, bbclearningenglish .com.

Hello Neil, how are you doing?

I'm very well, thank you Georgie.

How are you?

Yes, I'm very well, thank you.

Neil, today we're talking about cities.

We both live and work in London, which is a very big city.

It is.

It's a huge city.

Very busy and bustling.

Bustling means there's lots of activity, lots of things going on, busy.

Speaking of, what do you like about living in a big, bustling city?

Well, there are lots of good things about living in a big city.

It's convenient.

It's very convenient.

So there is lots of public transport, which is sometimes good.

And you can get things that you need quite easily.

That's very true.

Yeah.

Yeah, there's also a lot of things to do.

We are lucky in London to have lots of theatres where you can see plays

there's a really good music scene so you can watch

and listen to a lot of live music

if you have no plans on a day you can always find plans um spontaneous plans

so we are really lucky in that sense yeah and

if you like art there's all kinds of exhibitions and galleries and museums

Lots of good things, but there are obviously some bad things about living in a city, aren't there?

Yes.

Do you want to tell us some?

Yeah.

Well, it's very noisy and dirty and busy and expensive.

It's always more expensive in a big city, especially the capital city um

so you can do all of the things

that we just talked about yeah but you have to pay yeah

and things like eating out especially going for a drink is really expensive thing to do in a capital city

i feel like every time i leave the house i just spend loads of money

and that is quite frustrating

but you have to pay for good for good times

i guess yeah have you ever lived in another city apart from london yes

i have i used to live in barcelona

which is quite different to london because well it has a beach

and the sea on one side and on the other side it has mountains

so it's contained by nature and you can get to the nature quite quickly um

which is really nice what about you have you lived anywhere different yeah

i've lived in a few big cities uh a few capital cities actually um i've also lived in spain

but in madrid i lived and worked in prague and

that is a really pretty

it's a beautiful city yeah the architecture looks fantastic nice buildings talking about nice buildings i lived in edinburgh

because i did my

master's degree there and that has beautiful buildings i loved

that city it has a castle on a big rock in the middle

and it's just amazing to look at so we've talked about cities we've been two, what about the future?

Are there any cities you really want to visit or maybe even live in?

Oh, that's an interesting question.

I've never been to Georgia or Armenia or that part of the world.

So I'm going to say I'd like to go to Tbilisi in Georgia.

That's a good answer.

I'd love to go there as well.

For me, I'm desperate to go to Latin America.

I really want to go to Rio de

Janeiro and at the time when the carnival is there, because that sounds really fun and I like to party.

Let's recap the vocabulary we heard during the conversation, starting with bustling, which means busy, with lots of people and activity.

We also heard convenient.

If something is convenient, it means it's very easy to do it.

For example, there's lots of public transport in London, so it's convenient for travel.

And we talked about possible plans for the future using would like to.

For example, I'd like to visit Tbilisi in Georgia.

That's it for this episode of Real Easy English, but we'll be back next week with another conversation in Easy English.

And you should check out our series, the London to Edinburgh Challenge.

We've been talking about Edinburgh today.

It's a beautiful place and you can see it in this series it's on our website, bbclearningenglish .com.

Goodbye for now.

Goodbye.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
